Snoop Dogg cannabis-art collection sells all pieces for about $148K

A seven-piece collection pairing Snoop Dogg’s cannabis legacy with contemporary fine art closed sales on August 18, delivering about 148,100 in total and underscoring a growing market for celebrity-driven, cannabis-inspired works. The standout piece, Snoop Doggy Dogg Genesis Burn, tied to the rapper’s 1993 LAPD mugshot and a roach he personally smoked, commanded about 70,000 and was the collection’s most valuable work. All pieces in the Ashes to Art series were sold, with buyers drawn to the audacious fusion of pop culture, history, and fine art, each item framed, mounted and accompanied by authenticity certificates.

Genesis Burn centers on a mugshot scorched at the edges, flecked with marijuana ash, and sealed beneath a smoked roach. The work also carries a rare autograph, elevating its status within both hip-hop history and contemporary art circles. Descriptions of the piece emphasize its role as a timestamp in the making of an icon, a raw and reverent reminder of the moment when a global figure was forged. The auction noted that the piece was more than a portrait—it was a documentation of a turning point in Snoop Dogg’s career and public persona.
