Snoop Dogg & Pavel Durov
We Dropped Telegram Gifts Like They Were Hot
… And Sold Out in Minutes!!!
Published July 9, 2025 2:41 PM PDT
Snoop Dogg and Telegram’s Pavel Durov dropped the platform’s first-ever celeb digital gift drop today, and they’re gonna have to drum up a lot more — it’s completely sold out!!!
A source close to the campaign tells TMZ Hip Hop the gifts sold out in an “unprecedented” way … to the tune of 1 millions gifts in a matter of seconds!!!
The drop included digital collectibles that are verified on the TON Blockchain … allowing verified owners the exclusivity to customize their channels, bios, and messages.
Telegram boasts a billion users, and Snoop dropped a new track — surprisingly titled “Gifts” — to cement the partnership … a song that may hit a little different if you were early enough to scoop one up.
Despite Telegram’s ongoing #TranslateGate, founder and CEO of the messaging app, Pavel Durov, felt compelled to reply to Snoop Dogg’s post
• This is the CEO’s first post since TranslateGate started 5 days ago
• Still no comment or word from anyone about the issue pic.twitter.com/1K273XR6UF

Snoop and Pavel had a friendly exchange on X — which we’re told was completely organic — but you know how Tha Doggfather’s business savvy operates … leading to the deal, spearheaded by Mint, that you see today.

Snoop’s a frontrunner for coolest campaigns of the year … remember his leftover blunt roaches are also being auctioned off as art.
