Snoop Dogg has poked fun at those who fell for a recent announcement he made in which he said he was going to “give up smoke.”
On Tuesday (November 21), the Long Beach native took to Instagram to share some cheeky updates on his relationship with smoking soon after revealing that he wasn’t referring to marijuana but in fact a new product he is endorsing.

In the first of two posts, the 52-year-old shared a black-and-white image of him holding a blunt. After that, he uploaded a video of his face deepfaked over the face of Chris Tucker’s character Smokey from the iconic 1995 stoner comedy, Friday, as he recited the famous line: “I was just bullshittin’! And you know this, man!”

A few days ago, Tha Doggfather shared that his pledge referred to literal smoke — as in, from a fire. With that, the whole thing was revealed to be an ad for a limited-edition collaboration with Solo Stove, a brand of smokeless fire pits.
“Announcement: I’m giving up smoke,” Snoop says in an ad shared on his Instagram page. “I know what you thinking — ‘Snoop, smoking’s kind of your whole thing.’ But I’m done with it. Done with the coughing and my clothes smelling all sticky-icky. I’m going smokeless.”
Before the rapper shared that his promise to go smokeless was a PR stunt, at least a few people assumed otherwise. Meek Mill, for one, claimed that he was going to follow Snoop’s lead and give up all forms of smoking.

“Ima go to Dubai and completely stop smoking,” he wrote on social media. “ima follow snoop, my doctor said I got a lil bit emphysema in a chest if I don’t stop smoking it cuts my lifeline in half, I was addicted to the nicotine and this new weed got too many chemicals and too risky to play with my mental!”
