Snoop Dogg is a man of many interests. The 43-year-old rapper formerly known as Calvin Broadus is a hip-hop legend who’s sold over 35 million albums worldwide, and released his 13th studio album, Bush, this month. He’s starred in films like Starsky & Hutch and Training Day, has directed several porn flicks, and is arguably the world’s foremost marijuana enthusiast who has his own line of weed and is rumored to smoke as many as 80 blunts a day
He is also a massive fan of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Snoop featured on the GoT-themed compilation album, Catch the Throne: The Mixtape, Vol. 2, alongside artists like Method Man and Anthrax, and famously recapped the show during a smoke session with Seth Rogen.
