Among the many benefits of being a Los Angeles Laker is the fanbase. Chief among them would be rapper extraordinaire, Snoop Dogg. Notably, the 52-year-old was also a close friend of the late Kobe Bryant. While he has been supporting the Purple and Gold for years, the rapper forged a special bond with the 5-time NBA champion. After the tragic passing of Kobe and Gianna, Snoop Dogg continues to extend his love and support to the Bryant family.

For Thanksgiving, he continued the trend in delicious fashion. In response to a fridge full of delectable delights, Vanessa Bryant recently conveyed her appreciation and gratitude to Snoop Dogg.

For Thanksgiving, the rap legend prepared a collection of the best products from one of his collaborations. Snoop Dogg sent a lineup of different flavors of ice cream for the Bryant family. These special Dr. Bombay Ice Creams are from his collaboration with Happi. co. The name was inspired by Snoop’s NFT character and it offers seven flavors, including Bonus Track Brownie, Cocoa Cream Cookie Dream, and Iced Out Orange Cream. Vanessa shared a clip with her 15.5 million followers flaunting all the flavors along with a ‘Thank you’ message. 

Apart from being a phenom on the court, the Black Mamba was a symbol of hard work to many. The rapper is also one of the millions who were inspired by Kobe and admired him.

Over time, Snoop Dogg went from a fan to a close friend of Bryant’s. A few years ago, he congratulated Vanessa for her “love at first sight” fairytale with Kobe. 

Did you know that this is not the first time the 52-year-old gifted something to the Bryants? Upon Kobe’s retirement, Snoop Dogg gave quite an expensive gift to the 5-time NBA champion.
