Snoop Dogg to Inspire USC Graduates as Commencement Speaker in 2025
Ah yes, another case of celebrity meets academia, and this time it’s the Doggfather himself taking the stage! Snoop Dogg is set to sprinkle some of his signature flair at the 2025 commencement ceremony for the USC Marshall School of Business. Now, before you roll your eyes at the idea of a rapper sans a business degree dishing out entrepreneurial advice, let’s take a moment to appreciate Snoop’s extraordinary career, which includes not just chart-topping hits but also a plethora of savvy side hustles that would make even the most seasoned business mogul raise an eyebrow. In a press release, Snoop expressed his excitement, saying, “Commencement is not just a milestone — it’s a launching point.” And honestly, who better to teach young minds about launching their careers than a man who has managed to thrive in the cutthroat world of entertainment?
Sure, some critics might snicker at the thought of a hip-hop icon as the voice of wisdom for aspiring business leaders, especially after his less-than-stellar moment at Trump’s inauguration. But let’s face it: Snoop has been an unofficial mascot for USC for years, and if anyone can turn that tassel with style, it’s him. Graduates, who have likely racked up a hefty student debt, are surely eager to hear his thoughts on turning passion into profit. As they sit there, diploma in hand, they’ll realize that the real life lessons come not just from textbooks but from those who’ve danced through the highs and lows of career twists and turns. So, if you’re a USC grad ready to change the world, prepare for a dose of inspiration from the man himself.
Class dismissed! Just remember, if you take notes, make sure they’re on the back of your Snoop Dogg concert tickets.
