The Long Beach native’s marker is dedicated in the category of “Recording” and is the 2,651st to grace the famed sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard.
“Snoop Dogg is one of those people who can do anything. He raps, he acts, he hosts a television show, he cooks, and helps community kids with his philanthropic work,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “He is a man of the ages and we welcome him to our Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
