something I haven't done before in my career.Internationally acclaimed rap star, Snoop Dogg has reinvigorated his career by morphing into a full-fledged ‘Lion’ and credits Reggae music’s greatest product for his transformation. “From that moment on, I started to understand why I was there and was able to create something magical in this project. 'I wanted to bury Snoop Dogg and become Snoop Lion, but I didn't know that until I went to the temple and received the name Snoop Lion from the Nyabingi priest,” said Snoop. Snoop issued a statement last July, describing the name change as a spiritual awakening. Snoop traveled to Jamaica last year to record his first reggae album, also titled 'Reincarnated.' The documentary details the Long Beach rapper's journey as he is 'embraced by the Jamaican people, is positively impacted by Rastafarian culture, and becomes reincarnated as Snoop Lion,' according to the documentary trailer.

He says Snoop failed to meet 'contractual, moral and verbal commitments' in regards to his documentary 'Reincarnated.' The group says they will sue Snoop if he does not agree to their demands.īunny Wailer, an original member of Bob Marley and the Wailers is also upset with The Doggfather.
