Not many sources have a precise figure for Snoop's height. According to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, the ‘Gin & Juice’ hitmaker stood approximately 6ft 4 inches (193 cm) tall.

With this impressive height, Snoop easily surpasses the average American man by approximately 5 inches. As per reports, the average height for men is different across the world but sits at 5ft 9 inches (175.25cm) in the US.

Snoop's height unquestionably enhanced his rapper image, but it also sparked heated debates and attracted comparisons to his forebears and peers.

Shaquille O’Neal once made Snoop Dogg look tiny

Being a big basketball fan, Snoop has always had a strong bond with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. They have had numerous interactions, be it at parties, random meet-ups or on stage.

Recently, a fan posted a throwback picture of the duo together to celebrate O'Neal's birthday. While showing their impressive style, the image also highlighted their height difference. Snoop is clearly not short but he appeared like a dwarf next to the basketball star, who is a 7ft 1inch (216 cm) tall.
