Snoop Dog reveals he listened to Mariah Carey’s music in jail

At the 2025 BET Awards, Snoop Dogg took the stage to receive the Ultimate Icon Award. He was joined by his wife, as well as longtime collaborator Dr. Dre. As he addressed the audience with his trademark charm, he gave a heartfelt shoutout to his fellow honorees—Jamie Foxx, Kirk Franklin, and Mariah Carey.

When speaking about Carey, he recounted a surprising and emotional memory during his incarnation. “Mariah Carey, I always tell you this,” he began. “I was in the county jail in 1990, ‘[Vision] of Love’ would come on on Saturday mornings, and we would race to the TV just to see you.” His story struck a chord with viewers, highlighting how music, especially Carey’s powerful ballads, offered hope even in the darkest moments.

He continued, praising their eventual collaboration and her warmth over the years. “So, when I finally got a chance to meet you and do a record with you, you treated me like family. And it’s always been like that, so I love you, MC, and congratulations on your icon award,” he shared.

In addition to honoring Carey, Snoop Dogg took a moment to reflect on the people who have shaped his journey. He thanked his teachers, fellow rappers he battled, his Death Row family, and his late friend Nate Dogg. He also paid tribute to his own family, including his children and 10 grandchildren, whom he called his “greatest inspiration.”

Snoop Dogg then spoke tenderly about his wife. He attributed his emotional strength and grounded life to her love and presence: “This is why I’m so rock solid… I’ve got God in my life and I’ve got a queen in my life.”

He has faced legal trouble in the past. In 1993, he was charged in a murder case after his bodyguard shot a rival gang member from Snoop’s vehicle. Though ultimately acquitted, the case followed him for years before it was officially sealed in 2024.
