Snoop Dogg: My family sell my clothes

25th May 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Snoop Dogg was flabbergasted to discover his family had sold some of his favourite outfits at a yard sale.

The stylish 39-year-old rapper has three children with his wife Shante Taylor; sons Corde, 16, Cordell, 13, and daughter Cori, 11.

Snoop's loved ones despair of his ever-growing wardrobe, and the musician has expressed his dismay at learning they decided to sell off some of his favourite garments to make space around the house.

"My family were real dirty. They sold my stuff at a yard sale, a garage sale. I come home and the neighbours are wearing my jackets," he laughed to BBC Radio One.

Snoop admits freely to being a shopaholic, estimating that he owns around 200 pairs of sneakers and around 300 or 400 tracksuits. The rapper even had his own "trainer room" built to accommodate his footwear passion, and explains how he has toned down his look in recent years.

"I'm spontaneous, sometimes I wanna make something and add it onto my wardrobe. Minks and furs I was in to at one time... silk skirts. Then I toned it back down jeans, T-shirts, jerseys," he explained.

Snoop's passion for shopping doesn't only encompass clothing; he is as equally excited by purchasing electrical goods. The star claims to own 13 television sets in his home, and says the largest one is "a 70 inch".

"I know some people that know some people," he laughed when asked how he had managed to get hold of such a large set. One thing the rapper's home is still missing is a revolving bed. The star recalled how his babysitter used to have one and he thinks it would be the perfect addition to his bedroom.

"I always wanted one!" he smiled. "We couldn't wait to pull it out the wall." (C) Cover Media
