Snoop Dogg says he uses Telegram daily — and calls it “cool”

In an exclusive interview with the Telegram channel Just News, Snoop Dogg gave high praise to Pavel Durov’s messaging app.

The rap legend confirmed that he uses Telegram every day and explained why he’s a fan:

“Telegram’s cool as hell. No ads. No drama. No algorithm. No shadow bans. Just straight up social media the OG way. I stay tapped in. Every day.”

Snoop also said that interest in Telegram has grown among his circle of friends since the launch of his exclusive Telegram gift collections. He confirmed that he personally runs his own channel.

What’s more, the rapper teased upcoming collaborations:

“Some real ones on deck. But trust, they comin. Telegram star-studded soon.”

He also addressed the creators of Portals, a leading secondary marketplace for Telegram gifts, asking them to start buying up his gifts together. His message came after Portals said it would begin purchasing Snoop’s gifts using commissions earned over the next five days.

For context, the new Telegram gift collections caused a stir. All of Snoop Dogg’s "rare" gifts sold out quickly. Within just two hours of release, his Telegram-themed music video broke into YouTube’s Trending top 10 for music videos.
