The fact that legendary rapper and known herb enthusiast โ Snoop Dogg (real name: Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) โ employs a full-time professional joint roller has been an endless source of public fascination.
At one point, the coveted position was held by a woman called Renegade Piranha, who gave us a taste of what the day-to-day resembled during her appearance on the Kyle & Jackie O Show.
โFor my entire life โ I havenโt done calculations โ but we did one time, just for fun, do a little calculation of how many I may have rolled since 2016 when I got the professional gig for Snoop and then all the other clients after,โ said Renegade Piranha.

โWe calculated it somewhere around a little over 450,000.โ
โOn average a day, I do about a quarter pound to a half pound a day, which seems excessive. So thatโs roughly like 75 to 150 units per day.โ
It is worth noting, however, that it wasnโt all for Uncle Snoop. Piranha did occasionally service other clients and work the odd marijuana-themed event.
โWeโve rolled so many that my hands have kind of become little machines now,โ she admitted.
โItโs a service that I provide, much like an assistant. I donโt provide the flower or the medicinal cannabisโฆ itโs like a bartender doesnโt provide the liquor.โ
Back in 2019, Snoop Dogg revealed that becoming his professional joint roller entailed a base annual salary of approximately US$50,000 (AU$77,600), which has since been increased due to inflation; he added the anonymous employee in question also had access to an unlimited supply of marijuana, free food, and free clothes in exchange for their services.

โThat motherfucker is like Lurch from the Addams Family. โYou rang?โโ Snoop Dogg quipped about who we assume is the current employee while appearing on The Howard Stern Show alongside 420-friendly associate Seth Rogen.
โTiming. That motherfuckerโs timing is impeccable. Thatโs his J-O-B, his occupation. On his resume, it says: โWhat do you do? Iโm a blunt roller.โ P-B-R. Professional blunt roller.โ
โIf youโre great at something I need, Iโm hiring you.โ
โHe knows how to gauge the look on somebodyโs face when it seems like they want a blunt, and if they do, he gives you one,โ confirmed Seth Rogen.
โThereโs been like 40 minutes where Iโm, likeโฆ Iโm just watching this guy and Iโm just going to see what is going on here. As someone who smokes a lot of weed, itโs fucking fascinating.โ
โHonestly, the amount of time I spend rolling joints, it might be worth my while financially to hire someone to do that.โ
In an episode of Jobs Unlisted by Complex, host Speedy Morman learned Waka Flocka Flame had someone similar on his payroll earning roughly the same money.

Quavo of Migos fame, on the other hand, apparently employs a personal assistant by the name of Joshua Washington whoโd undoubtedly be charged with similar duties among other tasks: ranging from polishing his icy collection of jewellery, to whatever Operations Management entails over at Quavoโs record label Huncho Records.
For Washingtonโs troubles, he takes home an alleged sum of US$5,000 (AU$7,700) per day. Thatโs roughly US$1.82 million (AU$2.82 million) per year before taxes.
โMy assistant a millionaire!โ Quavo proclaimed on Instagram.
