Blige, Dr Dre, 50 Cent, and Kendrick Lamar, then in June, they gave a live performance of their newest collaboration at ApeFest, a festival in New York for owners of the Bored Ape NFT.

Snoop was nominated for best rap video for the first time in 1994 with ‘Doggy Dogg World’, and he went on to win three of the 13 awards he was nominated for.

The 2022 VMAs are going to take place at New jersey’s Prudential Center on August 28.
