Snoop Dogg Donates $10K to Support Same 93-Year-Old Woman Facing Eviction That Tyler Perry Helped

By Website Content Manager

“She reminds me of my mother and grandmother,” the rapper told CNN in a statement

Snoop Dogg is joining Tyler Perry in helping a 93-year-old woman fighting to keep her home and land in South Carolina.

The “Lay Low” rapper, 51, donated $10,000 to Josephine Wright’s GoFundMe campaign, his rep confirmed to CNN.

“I did it from the heart,” Snoop Dogg told CNN in a statement. “She reminds me of my mother and grandmother.”

As previously reported by PEOPLE, Perry, 53, also stood behind Wright, who is currently locked in a legal battle over her home.

The South Carolinian told local news outlet WSAV that developers were harassing and attempting to force her to sell her property.

Wright, a grandmother to 40, great-grandmother to 50, and great-great-grandmother to 16 children, told WSAV that her Hilton Head home is “where I want to be at this age” — and she’s going to resist anyone who gets in the way of that.

“I’ve pretty much been a fighter all my life,” Wright told the publication.

Wright’s home has been in her family since the aftermath of the Civil War, according to the outlet. Her husband’s relatives were former slaves who were freed by Union soldiers.

An investment group developing the land behind Wright’s house filed a lawsuit alleging that parts of the home are on their property, WSAV reported.
