Both Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent are amongst the most talented and successful rappers ever, they have some of the greatest hits to their name. But also, they are both successful businessmen who have amassed fortunes throughout the years. With that in mind, we won’t criticize any of them for virtue signaling because what they are doing for OG rappers who are struggling financially is amazing. During a recent podcast with NBA stars, Snoop Dogg confirmed he and 50 have helped many of these OG rappers who are struggling get back on their feet. As soon as a video of Snoop talking about this was published, 50 Cent confirmed it.
For Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent, doing this is about respecting the OGs who paved the way for what they have accomplshed in their careers. When the hip-hop movement was in its infancy, it was nowhere near as successful as it has become today. Rappers weren’t considered business moguls, they were always treated as thugs. If if hadn’t been for all those OG rappers, the movement hadn’t progressed as it has thus far. Here’s what Snoop said: “Me & 50 Cent came together & decided to privately give money to hip hop OGs who need financial assistance. We’ve done it for many of them. We’d just go to them & say, take this to help yourself. We know you really need this.”

Snoop said that him and 50 Cent are the ones doing this but he didn’t say if other successful rappers are doing this as well. Many of them probably can’t grasp the importance these OG rappers have in the culture. Kudos to both Snoop and 50 for taking care of the older generations when they are able to help them. There’s a reason both of these stars are so beloved in the entertainment industry.
