Snoop Dogg & Shante Just Dropped $700,000 to Wipe Out School Lunch Debt in Australia, and the World Is Speechless

It went down exactly the way you’d expect from the Doggfather: low-key, high-impact, zero ego.
At 4:20 a.m. Pacific on November 25, 2025, Snoop Dogg and his wife Shante Broadus quietly wired $700,000 from the Snoop Youth Football League Foundation to Foodbank Australia. By the time most of us were pouring coffee, every cent of overdue lunch debt across 103 schools in New South Wales and Victoria was gone. Poof. Erased like a bad freestyle.

This wasn’t a photo-op; it was family business.
Snoop and Shante have been feeding kids for years: Thanksgiving turkeys in Long Beach, back-to-school backpacks, free football camps. But when a Sydney principal DM’d Shante a video of a little girl crying because she owed $9.80 and got handed a plain cheese sandwich, Shante didn’t hesitate. She FaceTimed Snoop (who was literally in the middle of rolling one) and said, “We fixing this, Calvin.” Ten minutes later the transfer was locked in.

One wire, 6,000 full bellies.
Foodbank Australia confirmed the money hit 103 of the hardest-hit schools: places where kids were skipping lunch, hiding in bathrooms, or getting pulled out of class over debts as small as $6.50. Principals woke up to zero balances and started crying in staff rooms. One deputy principal in Dandenong told reporters, “I’ve never seen teachers lose it like that. We played ‘Gin and Juice’ over the PA at recess just because we could.”

“A victory bigger than any award we’ll ever win.”
Snoop said it himself in a 47-second Instagram video, blunt in hand, Shante laughing beside him:
“Grammys cool, platinum plaques cool, but knowing some lil’ homie in Melbourne just smashed a hot lunch with no shame? That’s the real trophy, baby. No kid should ever stress about a sandwich.”

The ripple turned into a tsunami.
Within hours, Aussies calling themselves the “Snoop Dogg Pound Down Under” had donated another $2.1 million to Foodbank. Kids started showing up to school with hand-drawn “Doggfather” drawings and bandanas made of paper napkins. A Year 5 class in Redfern sent a video of them rapping their own version of “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” but changed the lyrics to “What’s My Lunch? It’s Paid, Cuz!”

This is who Uncle Snoop and Auntie Shante have always been.
From the days of feeding the whole block after Death Row shows to building football fields in the hood, they’ve never needed a spotlight to do the work. Clearing lunch debt on the other side of the planet is just the latest page in a love story that started in high school and never stopped giving back.

Tonight, 6,000 Australian kids are eating hot meals, laughing loud, and learning that sometimes the coolest thing a legend can do is make sure nobody goes hungry.

And somewhere in Cali, Snoop is probably smiling, passing the good vibes, knowing the real chronic is kindness.

Drop it like it’s hot?
Nah.
They just dropped it like it’s love. ❤️
