Snoop Dogg brought West Coast swagger and uncensored energy to the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, turning the presentation of the inaugural Best Podcast category into one of the night’s most talked-about moments.
Taking the stage on January 11, 2026, the rap icon made his entrance to “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” instantly shifting the room’s temperature. Rocking satin Stacy Adams boots and moving with the confidence of a veteran who’s seen every stage imaginable, Snoop wasn’t interested in a buttoned-up presentation.
“Stop the music,” he laughed as soon as he hit the mic. “I need y’all to loosen up a little bit.”
From there, Snoop reframed the ceremony in his own language, dubbing it “the Double-Gs” and reminding the audience that they were now in the presence of the D-O-Double-G. His message was clear: relax, enjoy yourselves, and don’t fight the vibe.
“Don’t be no stiff biff! Move around a little bit!” he added, calling out the stiffness that often defines awards-season rooms.

Snoop used the moment to explain why the new Best Podcast category mattered to him personally. “Before podcasts, I was what y’all would listen to driving around in your cars,” he said, drawing a straight line between podcast culture and the long-form conversations hip-hop artists have always created.
When he warned podcasters, “You better hope I don’t get in that game,” it landed as a classic Snoop flex. He quickly followed it up with the truth. “Actually, I am in that game,” he said, shouting out The Represent Podcast and declaring it “popping right about now.”
As the nominees were introduced, Snoop balanced humor with commentary, positioning podcasts as a medium built on authenticity and personality rather than polish. That balance tipped into controversy just before he announced the winner.
In a moment heard by the room but censored on the broadcast, Snoop joked, “I’m high as a motherf**ker right now. Y’all had me here too damn long!”
The line highlighted the ongoing tension between Snoop’s unfiltered persona and network television standards. From sports to entertainment, Snoop Dogg has been making great strides as a broadcaster and correspondent.
Still, the rap legend brought it home, announcing, “And the winner is Good Hang With Amy Poehler.”
In true Snoop Dogg fashion, his Golden Globes appearance blurred the line between hip-hop culture and Hollywood tradition, proving once again that even on awards-show stages, he sets his own rules.
