Not only has 2020 shaped up to be one of the most eventful years of the last decade, it's also an election year. In just a few months, America will be casting their votes for their next president, and while many celebrities have advocated for all qualified citizens to vote, Snoop Dogg revealed on The Real 92.3 while speaking with Big Boy's Neighborhood that he's never voted before.

"I ain't never voted a day in my life, but this year I think Imma get out and vote 'cause I can't stand to see this punk in office," Snoop Dogg said. "For many years, they had me brainwashed thinking that you couldn't vote because you had a criminal record. I didn't know that. My record's been expunged. So now I can vote." Snoop added that 2020 will "definitely" be the year that he casts his vote.

"We gotta make a difference," the rapper continued. "You can't talk about it and not be about it. I can't tell you to do and then don't go do it. Everybody know I'm a frontliner. I ain't gon' tell you to do something that I didn't do. If I tell you to do something, I don't did it already." Watch Snoop Dogg and Big Boy chop it up below.
