The answer is no, he did not become a Christian. He changed his name to Snoop Lion and became Rastafarian.
Rastafarianism holds that the late Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie was not only the messiah, he also descended from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. According to the biblical Book of 1 Kings, the two rulers met briefly and seemed to hit it off.
The lion was the symbol of Solomon's Tribe of Judah (Christians see Jesus as the lion of Judah). Bob Marley, the reggae star and most famous Rasta, sang often of the "lion of Zion," referring to Selassie.
So Snoop worships a dead emperor named Selassie and thinks he is Bob Marley reincarnate.
I wonder if Bow Wow will follow his uncles footsteps and change his name to Roar Roar?
