He said, ‘Snoop, don’t do that.’”

    “GGN has 400 or something episodes that I shot since day one. It’s time for GNN the movie,” the I Still Got It rapper said. “I’m in a lane that has called itself podcasts. When I created GGN, there was no things called podcasts. So now it looks like I’m imitating or I’m trying to get in a lane of others, in which I actually helped create this lane, but I’m not the credit guy. So I’m just gon’ flip it into a movie on some Anchorman sh-t, like the comedy movie with me playing Nemo Hoes.”

    Snoop Dogg is not convinced that there is fairness in how streaming platforms pay artists. During a conversation on Business Untitled, the Long Beach rapper revealed that a billion streams generated less than $45k for him.

    This is not the first time Snoop has lashed out about streaming payouts. While speaking to Apple Music’s former director Larry Jackson at a panel in May, the I Still Got It rapper questioned how streaming platforms split funds.

    “Streaming needs to get their shit together,” he said. “I don’t understand how you get paid off that shit. Can somebody explain to me how you can get a billion streams and not get a million dollars? I don’t know who the f–k runnin’ the streaming industry if you’re in here or not. You need to give us some information about how to track this money down.”

    He explained that the days of selling physical copies were more transparent and that these days “one plus one ain’t up to two.”
