Snoop Dogg Says Cordae Ghost Wrote For Him

Most times when a rapper is accused of using a ghostwriter he or she will deny it. Nicki Minaj is a good example, who last year pushed back against claims that other people penned her songs.

But Snoop Dogg has admitted to using a ghostwriter on his BODR album, which dropped in February. 

Speaking to the Rap Radar Podcast, Snoop said that Cordae wrote the song “We Don’t Gotta Worry No More" and explained why he doesn't see it as a problem. 

That's because many consider using a ghostwriter to be the biggest rule breaker in rap.

“I started off writing,” said Snoop. “I started off writing for Dr. Dre, so what would I be if I didn’t allow somebody to write for me? Sometimes you gotta put yourself in the frame of letting somebody else depict a better picture for you because you can’t see everything ... I feel like Whitney Houston’s best record was 'The Bodyguard,' when the other people came in and gave her records that weren’t hers, where she could just sit back and just sing and they embodied what they thought she should be ... That’s to the point in my career where I’m at now, where I’ve written so many hit records ... It’s not about what I can write, sometimes it’s about what I can’t see that somebody else can write for me.”
