Snoop Dogg showed solidarity with families affected by the Los Angeles wildfires during his “Jimmy Kimmel Live” appearance this week.
As seen in the video below, the Long Beach native was a guest on the late-night talk show on Monday, January 13, and opened his chat with Kimmel by discussing the city’s ongoing wildfires. The natural disaster started last Tuesday, January 7, when a rapidly expanding fire first appeared in the Pacific Palisades. Additional fires spread across Pasadena, Altadena, Malibu, Calabasas, the Hollywood Hills, and more, burning through 40,000 acres and destroying at least 12,300 structures.
To comfort viewers on the West Coast and nationwide, Snoop explained how his family supported those impacted by the widespread destruction.
“The family’s good, [there’s] just a couple of intermediate people that I do know that I consider family who lost everything,” Snoop told Kimmel. “So we did what we do–we came together, pulled our troops together, we make sure that we represent and made sure they had everything that they need.
The rapper continued by saying that this was California’s “first time” dealing with devastation comparable to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and other locations with tornadoes. “And the way that California’s coming together, the way that the world is helping us—that’s the important thing. People are coming together. People aren’t looking at differences; they’re just looking at trying to make a difference.”
Snoop added that phone calls have come in from supporters globally, with one bank even contacting him wanting to contribute money to the Greater Los Angeles area. He also explained that while he’s watching television for updates, he also has people “on the ground” who are “making things happen.”
“A lot of times when we put these donations together, certain people don’t get it,” he explained. “So we need to make sure that everybody who needs this gets this. What my team does is go on the ground, make a direct connect with these people, and make sure we’re not missing anybody.”
Snoop also revealed that he wanted to be a firefighter when he was “four or five years old” before giving L.A. rescuers their credit.
“I feel like they have the toughest job, and they don't never get no credit, and they always show up and they do what's best,” he said. “When the job is over with, it's like they're forgotten about, but we need to give them a lot of praise right now.”
At the 10-minute mark, Snoop shared that his “angle” was to benefit the city with a concert instead of receiving ticket proceeds. Until the West Coast icon reveals more details about the event, Live Nation will present a ‘FireAid’ benefit concert at Intuit Dome on January 30. The lineup has yet to be revealed.
