Thankfully, while height matters in basketball, it doesn’t so much make a difference when coaching singers to victory on The Voice. Snoop spoke about his excitement over being a coach in May 2024.

“If you know anything about me, you know I love music of all forms,” he said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “So this is a great opportunity for me to show that I really understand music and, you know, to be a real coach and to really give direction to some of these artists that could be today’s next big thing.”

He continued, “That’s what people are going to learn about me is that that’s why I feel like people attract to me because I’m not one-sided. I’m not just for you, I’m for everybody. I’m the people’s champ.”
