Snoop Dogg is one of the most recognizable rappers in the world. He all but defined G-Funk during the first leg of the 1990s, alongside partner Dr. Dre. He has continued to serve as an icon and spokesperson for Los Angeles culture. It should come as no surprise, then, that he was devastated by the wildfires that have destroyed large portions of the city. Snoop Dogg discussed the fallout of the wildfires during a new appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He also hinted at plans to raise money for victims.
Snoop Dogg told host Jimmy Kimmel that there have been talks about putting on a concert. One that would raise money for those displaced by the fires. "There was talks about concerts. To raise money for the victims and the people that have lost in this situation," he stated. "So I think that’s more of the angle that I would be leaning towards. To do a concert and not, you know, be paid. And take my proceeds and the proceeds from the tickets and make sure that the people got something." Snoop Dogg previously took to social media to post a "Pray for L.A." banner and share useful information for native Angelinos.

"And make sure we’re not missing anybody. That’s what we do—it’s about love, man." Snoop is one many celebrities who have helped raise money for wildfires victims.
Snoop Dogg also took time to praise the firefighters who have been risking their lives. He claimed that they rarely get the credit they deserve, and they should be commended for their bravery.
