When the Drop It Like It’s Hot hitmaker initially moved into his home, he discovered an unpleasant visitor, but after being unable to kill the insect, the 51-year-old rapper chose to adopt him instead.
Speaking to Canadian journalist Nardwuar, Snoop said: “Gooch used to live with me. In my apartment, I had a roach that we couldn’t kill. We tried to kill the muthaf***** when we first moved in, and he wouldn’t die, so we called him ‘The Gooch.’”
He added: “He just kept getting bigger and bigger.
“I stayed in that apartment for like about six, seven months — cuz grew to the size of about a whole dollar bill. … We used to leave food out for him and everything.”
The Beautiful hitmaker recently revealed that the key to his happy marriage with Shante Taylor is to always let her have her own way.
Snoop, who kids Corde, 28, Cordell, 25, and Cori, 23, with his wife, and Julian, 25, with ex Laurie Holmond, has been married since 1997 and explained that it’s best to let his “soulmate” have her own way.
Asked what the recipe for a healthy marriage is, he told In Touch: “Giving them everything they want, getting out the way, saying yes, yes, yes. I learned that by saying no, no, no and getting in the way. Experience is a good teacher. We’ve grown as boyfriend and girlfriend to grandparents to soulmates.”
The hip-hop icon has five grandchildren and says he’s not as “firm and direct” with them as he was with his own children.
“With my kids, I was more firm and direct,” he explained. I’d simply tell them to do something.”However, I need to do extensive therapy work with my grandchildren.” “No, you must do this and then that,” it says now. Have you completed all of these steps? “All right, give me a hug.”
