Snoop Dogg Launches C.L.O.U.T Snoop Dogg |
American rapper, Snoop Dogg known for his albums, ‘Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss’ and ‘Doggystyle’, is on a mission to prevent youngsters from drugs and crime.
Snoop Dogg has joined hands with popular U.S. dancer, Tommy the Clown and launched a new organisation called C.L.O.U.T. Foundation (Changing Lives One Youth at a Time).
The rapper has planned to organize a Battle Night every month in Los Angeles, where local students can take the stage to show off their poetry, dance or drama skills.
Snoop Dogg admits that he was the member of a notorious Crips street gang in high school but his former teacher showed him the right way and motivated the star to realize his potentials.
Snoop Dogg said, "As a youth I had one teacher who really pushed me to be the best and gave me an outlet to really feel like I could be somebody - and I became successful partly because of his belief in me”.
"I want to give that to the kids so they know there is more to life than the street hustle or crime. I have been friends with Tommy the Clown for years and see what he has done for so many people; this partnership is very important to me”, he added.
