Snoop's Pímp Past: I Sold Hóokers To Entertainers And Athletes

The rapper-turned-reggae singer gathered a group of 10 willing women, housing them in a bus that followed his own coach throughout his Playboy Tour in 2003. The chart star – best known by his former name Snoop Dogg – admits he put his marriage to school sweetheart Shante Taylor at risk by pimping out his female entourage. He told Rolling Stone magazine: “I put an organisation together. I had a bus follow me with 10 bítches on it. “I could fire a bítch, f*** a bítch, get a new ho. It was my programme. City to city, titty to titty, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer. “If I'm in a city where the Denver Broncos or the (Denver) Nuggets play, I get a couple of their players to come hang out, pick and choose, and whichever one you like comes with a number. “A lot of athletes bought p**** from me.” Rather than keep the money earned for himself, he gave every cent to his clothes-shedding employees. He said: “I'd act like I'd take the money from the bítch, but I'd let her have it. “It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp. As a kid, I dreamed of being a pimp; I dreamed of having cars and clothes and bítches to match.” Snoop heaped praise on his wife Shante, who “had to take a backseat” during his wild days of pimping. He admits: “I love her to this day because she could shóok out on a n****, but she stayed in my corner. “So when I decided to let it go, she was still there.”
