Snoop Dogg is officially hosting the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards! He is no stranger to the awards show, holding 13 career nominations and 3 wins. Snoop first performed on the VMA stage in 1994 and later joined Dr. Dre and Eminem for massive closing sets.
Snoop Dogg called the new gig a full-circle moment and said, “MTV and the VMAs have been part of my story since the beginning.” He also said the network gave hip-hop a place to be loud, fearless, and seen by the whole world.
