During the speech, the “Gin and Juice” rapper also spoke about Wilson’s wife, Mahin Tat, and shared a story about one of their first interactions around the time he began working with her husband.
“Let me tell you about his wife, because she deserves a lot of credit for this. When we first got with Charlie, when I was on Death Row Records, and he was just beginning his rehabilitation, his wife at the time was his counselor,” recalled Snoop.
“She came in the studio, and she told us, ‘Nobody can smoke if Charlie is in the studio,'” added the Emmy winner. “So, the first day we was like, ‘Man, who is this lady trying to tell us what to do? What you smoking? We doing what we want to do. You can kick rocks with all that.'”

Elsewhere in the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” performer’s speech, he gave thanks to Wilson for “the things that you taught me — showmanship, business, family.”
“That’s the treasure to me. because when we get in this industry, we don’t really have people who we can count on, who we can go to. We get so far in this industry that you lose contact,” said Snoop. “So, to have somebody like you to stay in my life and to be there for me and my family means the world to me, Charlie.”
