Snoop Dogg made an appearance on Monday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he discussed the devastating wildfires in LA. The fires have displaced hundreds of thousands of people, and he says he thought his family would be among the evacuees.
“I got three phones, and they all blew up," he recalled. "I started running, started packing, and then it was like, ‘It’s not real.’ See, now y’all playing games.” While he says "the family's good," knowing people "who lost everything" prompted him to take action.
"We did what we do—we came together, pulled our troops together, and made sure they had what they needed," Snoop said, noting he and his team "go on the ground, make direct connects, and make sure we’re not missing anybody" to ensure that those in need are being assisted. "That’s what we do—it’s about love, man."
While he turned his clothing store into a temporary donation center to collect essentials for those affected by the fires, Snoop teased that he may have something else up his sleeve.
“There was talks about concerts to raise money for the victims and the people that have lost in this situation,” he said. “So I think that’s more of the angle that I would be leaning towards—to do a concert and not, you know, be paid, and take my proceeds and the proceeds from the tickets and make sure that the people got something.”
Snoop also took time to recognize "the way the world has been helping" California, as well as the hardworking firefighters.
“They don’t never get no credit. ... And when the job is over with, it’s like they’re forgotten about," he said. "But we need to give them a lot of praise right now—I give them a lot.”
