Snoop Dogg is a man of many talents. He’s a rapper, entrepreneur, Season 26 Coach of The Voice, and—as we saw on a memorable episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit—a great actor.

Snoop made his SVU debut in Season 20 as R.B. Banks, a famed rapper in a conflict with a rival musician. After the wife of Banks’ rival was brutally assaulted within the same week of his incriminating diss track’s release, all signs pointed to Banks as the culprit.

Finding out the truth of this case became way more complicated than anticipated—as evidenced by a showdown in the episode between Banks, Carisi (Peter Scanavino), and  Rollins’ (Kelli Giddish). Read more details, below.

Law & Order: SVU Season 20, Episode 22 (“Diss”) started with the brutal assault of pop star Dallas Monroe (Amber Stevens West), the wife of a famous rapper named Justin “Snake” Anderson (Orlando Jones). Snake was performing at a venue during the time of the attack, eliminating him as a suspect. That’s when the squad asked who may have beef with Snake or his wife.

After a quick internet search, Carisi learned Snake was in a diss track battle with Snoop’s R.B. Banks. Banks’ diss track featured incriminating lyrics that implicated him in Dallas’ assault. So Rollins and Carisi paid Banks a visit at his music studio to get answers.

 

“I know why you’re here,” Banks said, doubling down that Dallas “got what she deserved.”

“You realize we’re cops, right?” Rollins quipped.

“Yeah, but I ain’t done nothing,” Banks explained.

Carisi was quick to point out the lyrics about Dallas in his diss track, suggesting Banks wanted to teach Dallas a lesson.

“Have you heard her sing?” Banks teased, not giving Rollins or Carisi anything to work with.

“OK, I understand you’re in a diss war, but Banks, that sounds pretty personal,” Rollins said.

“That boy Snake accused me of having a ghost writer,” Banks said. “That’s personal to me.”

Banks said he was “home all night alone” during the time of Dallas’ attack.  “Can anyone vouch for you?” the cops asked.

“Mhm, my doorman,” Banks said, ready to kick Rollins and Carisi out of his studio. “I don’t mean to be rude, but I got things to do and I got way more customers before I get to you.”
