Snoop Dogg is taking his talents to the Big Easy. On Friday (Jan. 10), the NFL announced the West Coast Hip-Hop icon will serve as the host of its 14th annual award show next month in New Orleans.
The NFL Honors presented by Invisalign will take place on Feb. 6, 2025, at the Saenger Theater. Recognizing the NFL’s best players, performances, and plays from the 2024 season, it will air live at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on FOX and NFL Network and will stream on NFL+.
The awards announced at NFL Honors include the Associated Press’ annual accolades, the prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award presented by Nationwide, the Deacon Jones Sack Leader Award, THE NFL Fan of the Year award presented by Captain Morgan, and the newest Pro Football Hall of Fame Class the week leading up to the Super Bowl.
The Doggystyle performer is not the only California rapper headed to Louisiana for the big game. Last year, it was announced that Kendrick Lamar would take the field, headlining the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, causing a stir among Hip-Hop fans who had hoped Lil Wayne would be granted the opportunity in his hometown.
With his set performance, the chart-topping artist makes history as the first rapper to headline the Super Bowl halftime show on his own, in addition to being the first rapper to perform twice at the big game.

“Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer,” detailed JAY-Z of the selection. The Brooklyn rapper has co-directed the halftime show as the live music entertainment strategist for the league since 2019.
“His deep love for Hip-Hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.”
