Snoop Dogg’s goat chain has been trending on social media for all the wrong reasons. Recently, the rapper spoke up, debunking claims that the jewelry was linked to Satanic imagery. However, his words yielded no results, as many fans maintained their stance. The controversy began on Friday after Snoop Dogg wore the jewelry to the 2024 Olympics in Paris. The chain, encrusted with diamonds and featuring a detailed goat head with horns, immediately caught the attention of his followers. While many admired the piece’s craftsmanship, others quickly pointed out the goat’s association with occult symbolism.
In Western culture, the image of a goat’s head has long been linked to Baphomet, a deity many associate with Satanism, especially the Illuminati. This connection led to a flurry of comments about Snoop Dogg’s goat chain being a Satanic symbol. Following the growing speculation, the 52-year-old took to social media to address the claims directly. In an Instagram video, he revealed the custom-made piece was nothing but a goat.
“I had this made because someone told me I was the GOAT, so I wanted to make me a goat chain. All that other s**t y’all talking about, I don’t know what y’all talking about. But this is the GOAT, Greatest of All Time,” he said.
Snoop Dogg continued, revealing that the diamond chain represented peace and love across the globe. He also slammed the media for always starting unnecessary drama and rumors. “So now y’all know the truth. This is a goat,” the icon finished. Snoop Dogg didn’t convince all of his fans despite his efforts to clarify the situation. Many believed the goat imagery had inherent ties to darker themes. “Common Snoop we ain’t kids around here 😯Illuminati puppet,” one fan wrote. Another person commented, “Of course it’s a goat. That’s what Baphomet is 😂. We know you are in the club.” A third person also added:
“You can fool some but you can’t fool them all ppl know that’s symbolic and what it represents.”
Most fans didn’t believe Snoop Dogg’s words, mainly due to the sacrilegious events at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. Recall that the ceremony featured a parody of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper.” Videos showed a long table filled with drag stars made to resemble Jesus and the 12 apostles the night before his crucifixion. The parody sparked an uproar from social media users, religious and conservative leaders, and even politicians. They slammed the organizers for mocking Christianity in such an appalling manner. In response to the outrage, the organizers apologized publicly. They revealed the parody aimed to interpret Dionysus and raise awareness “of the absurdity of violence between human beings.
