Rapper Snoop Dogg announced a huge life change Thursday as he announced that he is officially giving up weed after being a longtime cannabis connoisseur and previously claiming to smoke 150 joints a day.

Although some fans might be taken off guard, Snoop has previously hinted at the decision to quit for some time. The rapper previously told MailOnline: "Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways," he told MailOnline. "The main way is being concerned with how I live, how I move, the kind of people I’m associated with, because I want to see my grandkids grow old."

He continued: "The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps as far as how I move, who I hang out with, where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking?" and added: "Am I doing extra-curricular or am I just doing what I’m supposed to be doing?"

The legendary rapper is a loving grandfather to his five grandchildren that he gained from his 24-year-old daughter Cori Broadus. Snoop has previously spoken about how important family means to him and how he looks forward to watching his grandchildren grow up. His five grandkids include Chateau Broadus, Elleven Love, Skylar Broadus, Cordoba Journey Broadus, and Kai Love.
