"After much consideration & conversation with my family, I've decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time," he posted across his social media platforms.

Snoop Dogg's global fame dates back to the early 1990s, when his debut solo album "Doggystyle," produced by Dr. Dre, debuted in the top spot of the hit albums chart.

He's sold millions of albums worldwide, with myriad hits including "Gin & Juice" and "Drop It Like It's Hot."

Today Snoop has a number of business ties to the cannabis industry.
