Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has 17 Grammy nominations — with 96 career nominations — and won 27 awards with his hit songs such as "Drop it Like It's Hot" and "Gin and Juice.”

He was nicknamed Snoop Dogg after his mother since she thought he looked like Snoopy from the famous ‘Peanuts’ cartoon.

His debut album, ‘Doggystyle’ (1993) was created following appearances on Dr. Dre's debut solo album The Chronic (1992).
