Rap star Snoop Dogg once kept a cockroach as a pet for six months. The rapper even named his unique pet The Gooch.

The Drop It Like It’s Hot rapper revealed in a recent Nardwuar interview that his original intention was to get rid of the cockroach, but he was impressed by the insect’s will to live: “In my apartment, there was a cockroach that I couldn’t kill. Actually, I tried to kill him when I first moved in but he didn’t die. So I named it The Gooch and often left food for it. The Gooch then went on to live his best life as my ‘roommate’ for about half a year and just kept growing,” the rap star said.

Snoop was known to be an animal lover.

Over the years, Snoop has shown his love for animals by publicly supporting the plant-based meat company Beyond Meat, offering to adopt an abandoned dog and naming it after him. The rapper is also the creator of the Snoop Doggie Doggs brand, a line of dog toys and merchandise.

Snoop Dogg (Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) is an American professional rapper and singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor. The rapper once made Vietnamese netizens “feverish” after collaborating with singer Son Tung M-TP in the song Let’s Give Anh released in 2019.

Despite having a successful career and admirable fortune, few people know that Snoop Dogg’s wishes in old age are very simple. He once said, “When I’m no longer a rapper, I’ll open an ice cream parlor and change my name to Scoop Dogg.”
