Speaking on Logan Paul Impaulsive podcast, a lot of emphasis was put Snoop Dogg’s dedication and astuteness to turn himself into a brand.

The iconic rapper is not just a successful artist, but also a very famous media personality.
Snoop’s agent credits his rise to, and occupation at the top Snoop’s tendency to be involved in multiple projects as long it is “fun and brings funds”. But the two-time billboard music awards winner gives credit to someone else for inspiring him:
“I’m chasing Shaquille O’Neal right now. He has so many commercials, and businesses, and this is my friend. When I say I’m chasing him, it’s for the right reasons. It doesn’t have anything negative, or any hate. I’m inspired by it. I love how he took his Basketball career, put it on pause, and took his business, and you forget he is Basketball player based on how business minded he became.”
“He’s another reinvention of Magic Johnson. To take your skills outside the Basketball court and create businesses. I wanna take my skills outside of the microphone, outside the mic booth, outside the studio, into a business. That’s what I have been able to do. You should be able to do what you are great at.”
O’Neal was one of the most decorated players of his generation. The four-time NBA champion has a current net worth of $400 million. A lot of this money is from ventures beyond Basketball. He has involvements in acting , music, advertisements, and so on. He currently works as an analyst on “Inside NBA”.
