noooo !!!! he’s not serious, i think he’s joking about the fact that ignorant (sometimes) media try to make every black celeb non black because of their features !!!
Snoop dogg has an amazin’ hair, but it doesn’t mean that he’s mixed !!! Black ppl can have his hair if they take care of it as much as snoop dogg does !!! BUT media don’t accept that, so, according to them, when something looks good on a black person, it should be got from a non black ancestry; personally i don’t want to believe that.
Plus, i don’t understand this term “good” hair ?? does it mean that kinky hair can’t be good ??

Snoop Dogg has a perm. He is mixed because he has mixed ancestry. Remember people with mixed ancestry is mixed. “Blacks” in america are multigenerational mixed race people.

I think Snoop’s ethnic profile needs more researching, i don’t like saying this but what african-americans term as “good hair”, Snoop’s hair texture would say otherwise, he is not fully african-american, but then again how could one define an african-american as historically the population is so mixed!
