In 2012 Snoop had a spiritual experience during a trip to Jamaica, took on a new moniker (Snoop Lion,) and converted to the Rastafarian movement. In 1995 he even heavily participated in a documentary film about the ordeal called Murder Was the Case.

The prosecution argued that Snoop’s song lyrics proved he had a violent nature, but both Snoop and Lee were found not guilty on grounds of self defense.

Snoop added, "Beautiful Tiana loved to play the piano - she had a whole life ahead of her which she should have been filled with love and music." so Snoop's really not kidding about the "coming together" stuff. We need to come together to change this."įYI, Snoop has Crip ties and Game openly identifies with the Bloods (a rival gang). Too many tears are being shed, too many young lives are being cut short. Snoop has released a statement about the shooting, saying, "Little 6-year-old girls are not supposed to die from a gunshot. Snoop's rep wouldn't say exactly how much he donated, but sources close to Tiana's family tell TMZ the amount was $2,000. Rapper The Game has already donated $10,000 to help pay the funeral bills for 6-year-old Tiana Ricks - who was shot and killed when two men approached her family's Moreno Valley home and opened fire - but sadly, Tiana's mom said the money wasn't enough to cover all the bills.
