After nearly three decades, Snoop Dogg has officially buried a dark chapter of his past.
A court recently granted the rapper’s request to seal the records of his 1993 murder charge, a case that made headlines across the globe and nearly derailed his career. The charge, stemming from the fatal shooting of a rival gang member, Philip Woldemariam, saw Snoop and his bodyguard on trial for their lives.

In a twist of fate, Snoop’s music career skyrocketed during this turbulent period, with his debut album Doggystyle dropping just before his highly publicized trial. While acquitted in 1996, the shadow of the case followed him for years.
Now, at 52, the rapper is free from the specter of the past, with his records sealed from public view, preventing any background checks from ever exposing the charge again.
This legal victory marks a new chapter in Snoop’s extraordinary life, where the West Coast icon can finally leave behind the headlines that once branded him an “evil b*****d” and instead continue his reign as one of rap’s most enduring stars. Could this be the final piece in Snoop’s ultimate redemption story?
