Last summer, ‘Shut Up’ rapper Trick Daddy was told to follow his own advice by legions of Beyonce fans (affectionately called the #Beyhive) following controversial comments he made about the diva’s singing ability.

“Beyoncé don’t write music and barely can sing her motherf*ckin’ self,” he said during a now-infamous Clubhouse chat (as we reported here).

Only making matters worse over the weeks that followed, Trick (born Maurice Young) incited further controversy over his statement by attempting to clarify the difference between ‘singing’ and ‘sangin.’

“To me a real singer is a Stephanie Mills, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, or Adele. To me, a singer is somebody who can go to church and give you the word. ‘Singing’ and ‘sangin are two different things,” he shared.

In addition to joining an exclusive club of Black winners of the prestigious honor (only Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston, Outkast, and Quincy Jones boast ownership of the trophy over the show’s 64 years), Jon made history when sales of his album, ‘We Are,’ soared as a result of winning.

2022 has already proven that Snoop Dogg is easily one of the busiest men in show business.

Kicking off the year as part of a historic, Hip Hop-heavy ensemble at the Super Bowl, the legendary rapper went on to announce he would be sharing hosting duties with Kelly Clarkson for NBC’s ‘American Song Contest.’

Now, Dogg is joining forces with Peacock for the new original series ‘So Dumb It’s Criminal.’

Executive produced by the 50-year-old himself, the eight-episode series calls on some of the world’s funniest comedians to weigh in on the stupidity of “the world’s dumbest criminals” and the compilation of real-life surveillance and cell phone-captured videos that landed them in trouble.
