The Songwriters Hall of Fame 2023 class will be inducted on Thursday, June 15, but Snoop Dogg will no longer be part of the festivities. The rapper dropped out due to “personal reasons,” according to Billboard, but is hoping to join the class of 2024. Sade has also pulled out, with interest in being inducted with a future class.
Artists become eligible for a Songwriters Hall of Fame nomination 20 years after their first commercial release. Still being inducted on Thursday are Teddy Riley, Glen Ballard, Gloria Estefan, Jeff Lynne and Liz Rose.
The ceremony will take place at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
