Calvin Cordozar “Snoop Dogg”Broadus Jr., American rapper, singer, record producer and actor, said:
I waited a long time to put this project together because I wanted to choose the right director, the perfect screenwriter, and the best film company I could partner with that could understand the legacy I’m trying to present on screen and the memory. I try to leave behind. We had the perfect wedding.
