Snoop Dogg's "Quitting Smoking" Prank Revealed as Smokeless Fire Pit Ad

The rapper's social media announcement was cleverly orchestrated to promote a new smokeless fire pit brand.

As anticipated by many, Snoop Dogg’s heartfelt announcement about “quitting smoke” turned out to be part of an advertising campaign.

In a video shared on social media on November 20, Snoop makes a surprising revelation, stating, “I have an announcement. I’m giving up smoke.” He then continues, emphasizing his decision to move away from the smoky lifestyle due to the discomfort it causes, like coughing and clothes that smell of sticky-icky. Snoop mentions a smokeless fire pit by Solo Stove as the solution to his smoking issues, highlighting its smoke-free feature.

The video concludes with Snoop enjoying the Solo Stove fire, cleverly roasting a marshmallow. Ultimately, his announcement was part of a collaboration with Solo Stove for their smokeless fire pit. As Stephen A. Smith once exclaimed, it seems we’ve been misled and taken for a ride.

A recent social media post from Snoop, where he mentioned “giving up smoke,” initially led many to believe that the 52-year-old rapper was genuinely quitting weed, especially given the humorous nature of the post and the emotional parting statement requesting privacy. However, it turned out to be a clever marketing ploy.
