Emotional Snoop Dogg sobs uncontrollably after the Voice finale, shocking fans and crew with his raw reaction
SNOOP Dogg inconsolably sobbed after The Voice cameras turned off during part one of the emotional season 26 finale.
Once the show cut to a commercial break, the emotions didn’t stop for the rapper – who had to be comforted by co-star Reba McEntire as his stream of tears appeared to be endless.
Part one of The Voice’s season 26 finale aired on Monday and will conclude tonight – marking the end to Snoop Dogg’s first go at being a coach.
According to an insider who was at the taping of the competition show, filmed at the famous NBCUniversal lot, the night appeared emotional for all the coaches – but hit the California Love hitmaker the hardest.
When Team Snoop finalist Jeremy Beloate took the stage to perform his first song of the evening, his coach’s tears began to fall – and never stopped.
The contestant sang a heart-wrenching rendition of What The World Needs Is Love By Jackie DeShannon – which was made even more powerful with a choir supporting him on stage.
During the performance, NBC cameras briefly caught Snoop, 53, being present in the moment as tears streamed from his closed eyes.
After Jeremy finished the song, Snoop cried even harder and began to empty the box of tissues that was sitting in the basket under his chair.
Host Carson Daly, 51, also noted how emotional Snoop was, and quipped: “19 minutes in and you’re already crying. You are part of so many companies.
“If you’re not a spokesperson for Kleenex tomorrow, someone on your team is doing something wrong.”

Though some might assume Snoop played up the moment for the cameras when filming stopped, he appeared even more emotional, a source told.
“Snoop cried so much harder when cameras were cut. Jeremy wasn’t even on the stage anymore and they were well into commercial break and he couldn’t stop.
At one point, Snoop was crying so hard, his co-star Reba, 69, got up out of her chair and comforted him, offering a long hug and words of support.
