Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg has a lot of famous friends in Hollywood, from Diddy, Martha Stewart to the late Tupac Shakur. His list of famous cousins is just as impressive as his inner circle.

Going back to the start of his career, Snoop Dogg and his cousin Daz Dillinger, whose real name is Delmar Drew Arnaud rose to fame together. They were at the helm of "Death Row Records" when gangster rap started to become mainstream in the 1990s.

Early in his career, Snoop Dogg also teamed up with Warren G and his cousin Nate Dogg to form the group "213." By the 1990s, the trio had gone their separate ways but continued to feature on each other's solo projects.

The rapper grew up with Nate Dogg, who passed away at 41-years-old on March 15, 2011. In honor of his cousin, Snoop Dogg tattooed Nate Dogg's face on his forearm. Below the portrait, it was written, "all dogs go to heaven."
