Snoop Dogg says he does not regret turning down a $100 million offer to join the internet content subscription platform, OnlyFans.

In an interview on “Watch What Happens Live” on YouTube, he confirmed that such an offer was made but he decided to exercise discretion.

“I did turn down $100 million, yes. The only part that regrets it is my friend down there,” the top celebrity stated, referring to his male organ.

Snoop Dogg, who carried the Olympic torch in Paris this year, joked that he could have spent the money “untaxed” but had to step back from accepting the payment. Clearly, he was bent on protecting his reputation rather than allowing money to mislead him.

OnlyFans reportedly paid $6.63 million to creators in 2023 as more users continue to sign up on the platform.

Snoop Dogg and his close pal, Dr. Dre, recently introduced a new alcoholic beverage brand on Monday, October 15.

“Still G.I.N. By Dre and Snoop” is described as the first item by the two businessmen to enter the “pure premium-spirit” market.

It followed the success of the Gin & Juice canned cocktail previously announced by the hip-hop stars. A release tagged the new alcohol brand as “modern and elegant.”

“This is not a liquor that we’re just putting our name on…It’s just like we did with Beats headphones. Everything is us from the ground up: the gin, the flavor, the packaging,” part of the statement read.

“Still G.I.N. By Dre and Snoop” is said to have taken its name from the music collaboration between Dre and Snoop titled Still D.R.E. from Dr. Dre’s 2001 album.

Snoop Dogg shared his thoughts on the latest business partnership and described Dr. Dre as “a perfectionist.” 

“Every day in the studio when Dre and I were trying to make the dopest music, we were drinking gin and just having fun….Dre’s a perfectionist: he wants to make sure it’s not just good, but great. Together, we ain’t gonna do nothing regular!” he said.
