Snoop Dogg made headlines this week—and Twitter users are head-over-heels.
Iconic rapper and cookbook author Snoop Dogg recently took to Twitter to announce he had given his full-time blunt roller a raise, citing "inflation."
Yes, you read that right.
Snoop has a full-time employed personal blunt roller.
Between his music and acting career, Snoop is a busy man—and when you smoke as much of that green bud as he does, it would only make sense to want someone to always be ready with a freshly rolled joint for easy smoking access.
It all started back in 2019, when Snoop first announced he had a personal blunt roller during an interview on The Howard Stern Show.
During the interview, Snoop doted on his employee, stating his "timing is impeccable."
He said:
“That motherf*cker is like Lurch from the ‘Addams Family.’ ‘You rang?’”
Stern then asked Snoop to clarify if the man was formally employed and paid by Snoop.
Snoop replied:
“That’s his J-O-B--his occupation. On his résumé, it says, ’What do you do? I’m a blunt roller. P-B-R, professional blunt roller."
Snoop then told Stern that his personal blunt roller was raking in between $40,000-50,000 per year on top of sweet job perks like free bud, flabbergasting his audience.
While having a hired, professional blunt roller is in itself a newsworthy story, the update came when Snoop announced that his hired help was given a raise to match the rapidly increasing cost of living due to inflation.
Earlier this week, the Twitter account Überfacts, which posts trivia, tweeted about Snoop having employed a professional blunt roller, citing the employee's salary as the aforementioned 40-50 grand per year.
Snoop then retweeted the post and updated he had in fact given his employee a raise to combat inflation.
