The rapper addressed the topic during a recent appearance on ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’
Snoop Dogg might be content with not being on OnlyFans, but an unexpected friend of his still thinks about what could have been.
On Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a fan asked the rapper to confirm if he turned down $100 million to join the subscription platform for adult content — and if a part of him regrets doing so.
“I did turn down $100 million, yes. The only part that regrets it is my friend down there,” the 53-year-old rap legend confirmed, looking down toward his crotch.
Cohen, 56, then asked Snoop if his “d— wanted the exposure,” to which the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” musician joked, “He said that $100 million he would’ve been able to spend untaxed!”

In January, Snoop claimed in an Instagram Live interview on Wake & Bake with Double S Express that the subscription platform offered him a hefty sum to post NSFW content. “They were like, ‘OnlyFans wants you to come on there, Snoop. You could do about $100 million. All you gotta do is pull that thang out,’” he explained.
But the “California” artist turned it down out of respect for his wife of 27 years, Shante Broadus, 52. “I’m like, I got a Black wife. Ain’t no way in the world she gonna allow me to go on there and pull that thang out for no amount of money.”
The platform, which is intended for content creators to post behind a subscription model, has dominated the adult entertainment industry. OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky received over $338 million in dividends in 2022, which equates to roughly $1.3 million for each of the 260 working days in 2022, per financial statements filed by the adult-content platform’s parent company, U.K.-based Fenix International Ltd., and obtained by PEOPLE.
A growing number of celebrities are joining the platform. Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios joined last year “in a move to disrupt the way sports stars share content” according to a press statement. Sopranos star Drea de Matteo also joined the platform and revealed on the Not Today, Pal podcast that her 13-year-old son Waylon, whom she shares with ex Shooter Jennings, edits her photos for her.

Snoop’s forthcoming 20th album Missionary is set to be released in November. It will be his first album since 1993’s Doggystyle to be entirely produced by Dr. Dre and has features from Sting and Jelly Roll.
“In my mind, I made it up that I’m going to go back to being Snoop Doggy Dogg,” the rapper said at a recent Bloomberg Screen conference about working with Dre. “I want to be the student, the kid, the passenger. I want to humble myself and go in the studio with him and allow him to, you know, work on me and tell me what I need to do and produce me.”
