Snoop Dogg donated $10,000 to a GoFundMe campaign for a 93-year-old woman’s legal battle against land developers.
A representative for the the 51-year-old rapper confirmed to CNN that he had, in fact, made a charitable contribution to Josephine Wright’s legal fund last Thursday.
The performer, who recently canceled a pair of shows set to occur at the Hollywood Bowl, also expressed that he had made his donation ‘from the heart.’
The Drop It Like It’s Hot songwriter added that he felt a personal connection to the nonagenarian.
The Grammy Award-nominated performer told the media outlet that Wright ‘reminds me of my mother and grandmother.’

Wright was previously sued by Georgia-based Bailey Point Investment, LLC, a development group that claimed several structures on her land were encroaching on their property.
According to The Post and Courier, the investment group is planning to construct 147 new homes on Hilton Head Island, where Wright resides.
CNN reported that the nonagenarian’s granddaughter, Tracey Love Graves, stated that Bailey Point had previously offered Wright $30,000 for her land.
The group subsequently filed a lawsuit against Wright in February, claiming her satellite dish, shed, and screened-in porch were all impeding their work.
Wright has since filed a countersuit against the development group, whom she accused of employing a ‘constant barrage of tactics of intimidation, harassment, trespass, to include this litigation in an effort to force her to sell her property.’
The nonagenarian’s GoFundMe account, which was started by her granddaughter Charise, has also raised $277,178 for her legal fund.
Wright and her late husband, who passed away in 1998, previously moved from New York City to Hilton Head Island almost three decades ago in order to live on his family’s land.
The great-grandmother’s land had been in the possession of her husband’s family ever since the Civil War.

Several other figures from the entertainment industry have also publicly shown their support for Wright’s legal battle.
Kyrie Irving currently holds the top donation of $40,000 on her GoFundMe account, and Tyler Perry also made an Instagram account about her struggles.
Wright herself previously spoke to WSAV and expressed that she would not be easily intimidated by Bailey Point’s legal threats.
The great-grandmother stated: ‘They don’t know me. I am here to fight for what I have.’
