Semi-protected edit request on 31 March 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Snoop Dogg. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Please change "A source representing Snoop Dogg has denied the accusation" under the 2022 Sexual assault lawsuit section to "A source representing Snoop Dogg has denied the accusation, and on May 2023 leaked court documents revealed that the case had been dismissed."

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Edit requests are for suggesting specific changes to the article; general comments about the state of the article should be done as an independent thread (besides, "Fix Misspells and grammar and update information" is what editors do all the time anyway).

Is he actually related to Brandy and Ray J?

This is a piece of trivia that has been circulating around the internet for a while and Snoop Dogg himself has claimed it. Per Grunge: "it's unclear if their relation is through either the maternal or paternal side, but Snoop Dogg told MTV in 2006 that the singer was his first cousin." But there's no surname in common between their parents: Snoop's parents are Vernell Varnado and Beverly Tate, and Brandy's parents are Willie Norwood and Sonja Bates. Brandy herself also said they are cousins but admitted she doesn't know how/through who, and seemed to treat it more like a rumor she is amused by. (I can't link because YouTube is banned, but search "Brandy Says She Wouldn’t Date Ray J’s Homie Joe Budden..." on Power 106 Los Angeles and it's around 19:30.) That makes me wonder if this claim is apocryphal and they're metaphorical "cousins" rather than actually being related. --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 06:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On that topic, how many of the "cousins" listed under family are actually verified to be related to him and not just metaphorical cousins? Other than Sasha Banks. --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 22:22, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
