Snoop Dogg Praised by Reddit Co-Founder for Early Investment, Teams Up with Dr. Dre for Gin & Juice Short Film

Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg has received high praise from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian for being one of the early investors in the online platform. Ohanian took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his appreciation for Snoop’s belief in Reddit during its spin-out and turnaround phase.

In a tweet on Sunday, Ohanian posted a photo of himself with Snoop Dogg, highlighting the rapper’s support when few others were willing to invest. “Very few people wanted to invest in us back then. Snoop did. And ya never forget your Day Ones,” Ohanian wrote.

In other news, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have joined forces for a short film promoting their new alcoholic beverage Gin & Juice, named after their classic song. The Prohibition era-themed clip features the rap veterans exploring the origins of the drink in the 1930s, with appearances from actress Nicola Peltz Beckham and country singer Hardy.

Hardy, who recorded a country-themed remix of Snoop’s 1993 hit for the project, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with Dre and Snoop. The collaboration has been a dream come true for Hardy, who described the experience as surreal and unforgettable.

Overall, Snoop Dogg’s early investment in Reddit and his recent collaboration with Dr. Dre demonstrate his continued influence and innovation in both the tech and entertainment industries.
