Snoop Dogg has upgraded his name to Snoop Lion. He visited Jamaica and completed a ritual that allowed him to be assigned with a stronger name.

We would agree that Lion is a stronger and more powerful animal than a Dog, but what we do know, is that Snoop Dogg has always been a well known name surrounding music and media, so the fact that he is to now be known as Snoop Lion is going to take some getting used to.

Snoop’s real name is actually Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr, which is quite a mouthful of a name, Snoop Lion will be quicker and easier to say!

A High Priest at a temple in Jamaica told Snoop that he is no longer a Dogg, he is a Lion.

Snoop Dogg is now 40 years old, and he claims this will be a rebirth for him, not a mid life crisis. His new Reggae album will be released soon, and this will be a change to the rap music which we are used to.

Snoop Dogg, sorry… Lion, says that he is finished with Rap, he has done it all, and now wants to move onto something new.

The reggae album will be his 5th, and will be called Reincarnated.
