Snoop Dogg once revealed the only person who could out-smoke him in a head-to-head.
Last night (16 November) the rapper shocked the world after announcing that he was 'giving up smoke'.
The 52-year-old - known for his love of ganja, as well as his love of music - told his followers that he was doing it after speaking to his family.
Taking to X (Twitter), Snoop said: “I’m giving up smoke.
"After much consideration & conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke.

"Please respect my privacy at this time."
While some think his recent tweet was a joke, others genuinely believe he is giving up weed for good.
Commenting on the tweet, one fan said: "Today isn’t April Fools day Snoop."
"I know you're high posting this," another added.
"Damn, the world is really really coming to an end," a third wrote.

Someone else was backing the decision, writing: "Health above anything else. Snoops setting a great example to everyone. Respect."
The prolific smoker once admitted that another musician once managed to out smoke him.
This revelation came on a 2018 episode of Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show, when the Doggfather was asked who he would put on a ‘Mount Rushmore' of pot smokers.
Kimmel said: "Seth Rogen was here last week, and we were talking about Mount Rushmore of pot smokers, and of course, you are on.

"And I think that Seth is on Mt. Rushmore. Who would you put on that Mt. Rushmore?"
Naming his own top dogs, Snoop took time to think before saying: "I would put Bob Marley.
“I would put Cheech and Chong - they were the first faces on the mountain, they're the ones who showed us what a mountain was."
Then, he moved onto the real chief.

"Willie P. Nelson is definitely on there," he added.
"And by the way, Willie Nelson is the only person who has ever out-smoked Snoop Dogg. I had to hit the 'time out' button."
Kimmel then asked whether he’d ever had to use that particular button before, with the rapper responding: “Never, never.”
Willie himself has since backed up this tale, giving an interview with the Daily Beast in which the country musician said: “That was over in Amsterdam!
“I called Snoop and I said, 'Hey buddy, you gotta come over here. This is where it’s at!'

"So, he came over and we hit every bar, every smoke place in Amsterdam. We had a helluva time."
Pressed on what makes him so hardened to the sweet leaf, Willie said: "Oh, I don’t know. There’s probably people that can out-smoke me! I don’t do a lot of smoking anymore.
"I’ve switched over to a vaporizer because it’s better on my lungs."
