Snoop's pimp past: I sold hookers to entertainers and athletes

SNOOP Lion has revealed he became a real-life pimp on tour a decade ago, selling hookers to high-profile artists and athletes.

The rapper-tued-reggae singer gathered a group of 10 willing women, housing them in a bus that followed his own coach throughout his Playboy Tour in 2003.

The chart star – best known by his former name Snoop Dogg – admits he put his marriage to school sweetheart Shante Taylor at risk by pimping out his female entourage.

He told Rolling Stone mag: “I put an organisation together. I had a bus follow me with 10 bitches on it.

“I could fire a bitch, f*** a bitch, get a new ho. It was my program. City to city, titty to titty, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer.

“If I'm in a city where the Denver Broncos or the (Denver) Nuggets play, I get a couple of their players to come hang out, pick and choose, and whichever one you like comes with a number.

“A lot of athletes bought p**** from me.”

Rather than keep the money eaed for himself, he gave every cent to his clothes-shedding employees.

He said: “I'd act like I'd take the money from the bitch, but I'd let her have it.

“It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp. As a kid, I dreamed of being a pimp; I dreamed of having cars and clothes and bitches to match.”

Snoop heaped praise on his wife Shante, who “had to take a backseat” during his wild days of pimping.

He admits: “I love her to this day because she coulda shook out on a n****, but she stayed in my coer.

“So when I decided to let it go, she was still there.”
