Snoop Dogg took the necessary steps earlier this year to ensure his difficult legal past became ancient history – the Doggfather’s 1993 murder charge was officially sealed earlier this year!!!
TMZ Hip Hop has obtained legal documents showing that Snoop asked a judge to seal the records in January 2024… the court signed off in late February, granting the petition to have his arrest sealed.
The trial was big news at the time… Snoop was still developing as a superstar and was infamously arrested following his impassioned MTV Awards performance of his hit “Murder Was The Case”, a track built around the frenzy over the accusations. Snoop and a bodyguard were accused of shooting a man in a Los Angeles park in 1993.
Snoop’s reaction to the not guilty verdict in 1996 was equally dramatic… and shaped the nature of his music and personality moving forward.
As for the timing… if you recall, Snoop raised millions of dollars overseas at the 2024 Summer Olympics as a celebrity spokesperson.
Now we know that the prison was already sealed before the summer!!!
Caesar McDowell and his nonprofit Unite the People helped with the legal maneuver for Snoop.
Snoop’s next hurdle is releasing his album with Dr..
