LOS ANGELES - Snoop Dogg once sold a µblunt’ to raise US 0 000 for charity.
The µDrop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker is a known advocate for marijuana and memorably auctioned off a drug-filled cigar to raise money for Seth Rogen and Lauren 0iller’s Hilarity for Charity initiative. Rogen told µ9ariety’ ³Snoop Dogg once auctioned off a blunt on stage for Al]heimer’s.´
0iller added ³I think it went for US 0 000.´ The µSausage Party’ star believes the couple’s uniTue approach to fundraising has proven very beneficial for the charity, which they founded in 0 after 0iller’s late mother was diagnosed with early onset Al]heimer’s.
Rogen added ³I think that encapsulates how we are approaching the space differently. If you’re lucky enough to be able to get Snoop Dogg to come perform at your show and auction off a blunt for Al]heimer’s care and research, then I think that speaks very well to an unexpected but effective kind of melding of matters and sensibilities.´
The 0-year-old actor previously admitted he was µshocked’ by his commitment to the charity. Asked if he ever thought he’d start a charity when he was an aspiring comedian, he laughed and said ³No´
³Like 0 years ago, Judd Apatow basically threw a charity event where the whole theme of it was that I would never do charity, basically.
³And it was honouring me for charity work that I may one day do. I got the best intentions award. And it was a huge event and the whole theme of it was that I was probably never going to do anything. So, even I’m shocked that this has happened.´
