Despite his fear of horses, Snoop Dogg is surprisingly open-minded when it comes to coexisting with other species. In a recent chat with Hip Hop Wolf, the "Baby Boy" actor shared an unusual story about a giant insect that once comfortably resided in his home. 

According to Snoop, they had a cockroach they couldn't kill when they first moved into his apartment, so they affectionately named it "The Gooch." 

"We tried to kill the muthafucka when we first moved in and he wouldn't die so we called him 'The Gooch,'" he explained, per Hip Hop DX.

Over time, this roach kept growing, eventually reaching the size of a "dollar bill." Snoop and his companions embraced their unique roommate, even leaving food out for "The Gooch" and occasionally providing it with a meal.
