Snoop Dogg recently moved his gaming setup, accidentally muting himself in the process. However, three streams later, he doesn't appear to have noticed that nobody can hear him.
Streaming games isn't an exclusive club anymore. It's big business and some people actually prefer to watch their favorite games being played over actually playing the games themselves. It's also fun to watch celebrities play those games, something Snoop Dogg fans have become very familiar with on Twitch.
Snoop might have made his millions by rapping, but he also has his hands in just about everything else. It makes all the sense in the world that he would want in on video games and streaming, and gets quite a bit of attention on Twitch. It's mainly just him smoking joints and playing Madden, but it's Snoop so even that is pretty entertaining.
That entertainment is lost somewhat when you can't hear him, or any of the background noise from the game he happens to be playing, which is currently the case. Snoop recently appears to have moved his setup elsewhere and somehow muted himself along the way. The trouble is, he doesn't seem to have noticed. As highlighted on Reddit, of the last four streams Snoop has done, three of them have been completely silent.
After Snoop's first silent stream, followers thought he would triumphantly return having addressed the issue. That hasn't happened, probably because the rapper has his comments turned off. Unless you have his number or happen to bump into him in the street, no one is going to tell him. This could go on for months, especially if, as some believe, Snoop has muted himself on purpose.
There is a corner of the internet you might not be familiar with where Snoop's Twitch antics are discussed at length. Not only do some think Snoop has muted himself on purpose for some bizarre reason, but others have believed for a while that he isn't actually playing the games he shows off in his streams at all. That theory was first sparked by a stream in which he used both hands to light a joint while his character continued to move on-screen.
