Snoop Dogg Biopic Casts SwayvoTwain as The Notorious B.I.G.
SwayvoTwain, the son of D'Angelo and Angie Stone, will portray The Notorious B.I.G. in the upcoming Snoop Dogg biopic. The film, directed by Craig Brewer, is scheduled for release in August 2027. Other cast members include Jonathan Daviss as Snoop Dogg and Myles Bullock as Dr. Dre.
The 29-year-old performer, who released a single earlier this year, confirmed his casting with a playful nod to Biggie's signature catchphrase. As the offspring of R&B icons D'Angelo and Angie Stone, he brings a distinct musical pedigree to the role.
The Universal project, arriving in 2027, features a sprawling ensemble including Jonathan Daviss as Snoop, Myles Bullock as Dr. Dre, and Camron Jones as 2Pac. The narrative will also highlight Snoop's appearances on three posthumous Biggie albums, underscoring their enduring creative bond.
This casting could significantly elevate SwayvoTwain's public profile, potentially bridging his music career with mainstream acting opportunities. The film may also reshape younger audiences' understanding of the 1990s East Coast-West Coast rivalry, emphasizing personal respect over manufactured conflict. Additionally, the project could spark renewed commercial interest in classic hip-hop catalogues, while reinforcing Snoop Dogg's cultural legacy as a unifying figure in the genre.
