‘Torn and hurt’ Snoop Dogg reduced to tears as he makes a hard choice on ‘The Voice’

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Snoop Dogg showed his emotional side during the latest elimination episode of 'The Voice'.

The rapper, tasked with making a heart-wrenching decision, found himself in tears as he had to choose between three talented contestants: Torre Blake, Mikaela Ayira, and ChrisDeo.

All three performers in his team delivered breathtaking performances on the November 18, Monday, episode of 'The Voice', making it difficult for Snoop Dogg to decide who he would be sending home.

According to People, the 'Riders on the Storm' rapper said, "I didn't think I was gonna get this emotional. I love these three girls. Ya'll made me proud."

“I’m so torn right now because I can’t take all of ya’ll with me. I’m hurt," he added as his eyes welled up.

Snoop reflected on the tough choice he had to make, saying he needed to be resilient and help strengthen his team.

"And I'm supposed to be strong right now. I'm supposed to make ya'll strong. But this is how you affected me. I love each and every one of you," he added. 

The rapper went on to express how deeply connected he felt to the three contestants.

Comparing the decision to choosing between his own daughters, he said it felt like sending two to college while one stayed home.

Snoop Dogg then closed his eyes, overcome with emotion, raised his arm, and called upon a higher power, stating, “The gangster holy ghost, don’t ever let me down.”

The 'gangster holy ghost' is a reference to a fictional entity used by Snoop Dogg on 'The Voice' to help him make a decision.

Before revealing the winner, he said, "Ladies, I love all three of you. I'm so honored to have been able to be your coach, spend time with you, to get to know you, to give you something to roll with for the rest of your lives — because you affected me for the rest of my life."

"So with that being said... the winner of this knockout is Mikaela," Snoop concluded.

Despite his visible anguish, Snoop Dogg announced Mikaela Ayira as the winner, explaining in a one-on-one interview that her unique voice and potential tipped the scales.

“Mikaela's voice is big and I don't think she knows how to use it just yet. I feel like the right song, the right production, she could win this whole competition," he said.

Meanwhile, another surprising moment in the episode came with the departure of Gwen Stefani’s team member, Mor Ilderton.

While details about the exit remain unclear, it added to the emotional intensity of the evening.

'The Voice' airs Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC at 8 pm ET.
