Diaz and Snoop Dogg both attended California’s Long Beach Polytechnic High School.

For years, the claim has circulated online that actress Cameron Diaz once bought marijuana from rapper Snoop Dogg when the two were students at the same high school. One version of the claim, posted (archived) by X user @notgwendalupe on July 4, 2024, had received around 3 million views, 49,000 likes and 2,000 reposts at the time of this writing.

The claim has popped up on X, Facebook, TikTok, and elsewhere around the internet for more than a decade. In 2013, when a Reddit user posted “TIL Cameron Diaz was in high school with Snoop Dogg, and Snoop Dogg was her drug dealer” to the r/todayilearned subreddit, the most upvoted response read, “TIL this is posted on Reddit approximately every 35 days.”

The claim originated with Diaz herself during an interview on the Jan. 19, 2011, episode of comedian George Lopez’s talk show “Lopez Tonight,” which aired on TBS from 2009 to 2011. In a recording of Diaz’s interview uploaded to YouTube by an unofficial fan account named @LopezTonight, Diaz discussed attending high school with Snoop Dogg starting around the 1:03 timestamp.

Diaz made the claim that she purchased marijuana from the future rapper around the video’s 1:22 timestamp, saying, “I’m pretty sure I bought weed from him. I had to have!”
