Snoop Dogg is heading into a new role at the MTV Video Music Awards, but before he takes over hosting duties at the 2026 ceremony, there is a throwback challenge waiting for fans.
The rapper is set to host the 2026 VMAs on Sunday, September 27, marking his first time as host of the awards show. The ceremony will take place in Los Angeles and air live on CBS, with a simulcast on MTV and streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S.
Before the spotlight shifts to Snoop’s 2026 VMAs appearance, the focus is going back to 2022.
Snoop performed at the 2022 VMAs, where he appeared onstage in a distinctive outfit and flashed hand gestures during his performance. Now, two images from that appearance have been turned into a classic “spot the difference” challenge.
The catch? There are three differences hidden across the two photos.
That means every detail is fair game — from Snoop’s outfit to elements in the frame and the rapper’s hand gestures. The challenge is simple: study both images closely and see whether you can catch all three switches.
The timing adds an extra layer of fun, with Snoop preparing to return to the VMAs stage in an entirely different capacity.
According to CBS and MTV, Snoop will serve as both host and an executive producer of the 2026 ceremony. He is also a 13-time VMA nominee and three-time winner, with previous VMAs appearances dating back decades.
For now, though, forget the trophies and the performances. The mission is much simpler: Can you find all three differences in Snoop Dogg’s photos TMZ?
