LOS ANGELES, CA - It has come as a surprise to some and many are saying he better not be "lion," but Snoop Dogg has changed his name to Snoop Lion after having a "spiritual adventure" on Jamaica and talking with a Rastafarian high priest who made the suggestion.

The veteran West Coast rapper who survived the media created "Rap Wars," back in the day, has announced he has experienced an artistic and spiritual rebirth. (There was no mention if there will be another "reality tv" show or not based on the experience, although there is a DVD of the events leading up to the transformation of Snoop from Gangsta Rapper to Reggea Repper.

Fox News reported on a news conference in New York City today:

The former gangster rapper is releasing a reggae album called "Reincarnated" in the fall. He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley's spirit and is now "Bob Marley reincarnated."
