Back To The Future: Snoop Dogg Selling His Collectibles, Rarities & Iconic Artifacts In ‘The Shiznit’ Memorabilia Auction.
“Like anyone who’s been in the game for more than three decades, Snoop Dogg has accumulated a lot of Doggy Dogg… stuff. But unlike a lot of other famous folks, pretty soon it’s going to go under the gavel in a novel celebrity auction via sports-and-music auction house the Realest in which Snoop is directly involved in the action.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
“Make sure you get it ’cause it’s authenticated, signed by the one and only Snoop Doggy Dogg,” Snoop says in a promo video hyping the auction in which he sports an old-timey SD police hat and black shirt with a Doggy Dogg logo. He then pages through heavily annotated script marveling at all the notes he made, saying, “this s–t mean a lot to me, I ain’t never look at this s–t cuz… this is my first leading role!”
