Chris Brown and Rihanna onto his [talk show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/progressives-dr-rick) 'Dogg After Dark.' "I would definitely have them on the show," Snoop told Hollyscoop. "I would have to have Dr. Phil on the show because that's not my section or department, but I'm sure Dr. Phil would have some advice," he said. Snoop Dogg quipped that if Dr. Phil wasn't available to appear on the show on the day that Chris Brown and Rihanna are guests, he'd have Dr. Dre come in his place. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Celebrity Talk Show Therapy:** The trend of talk shows inviting troubled celebrities and offering therapy on live television is gaining popularity. - **Hip-hop Therapy for Trauma:** Hip-hop therapy is a disruptive innovation in the mental healthcare industry, empowering individuals to process and communicate trauma through music. - **Cross-cultural Media Collaborations:** Collaborations like Snoop Dogg's talk show featuring Chris Brown and Rihanna are a trend in the entertainment industry, encouraging cross-cultural dialogue and exchange. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Talk Show Industry:** The talk show industry can innovate by incorporating therapy into their programming, offering guests and audiences a unique and valuable experience. - **Mental Health Industry:** The mental health industry can innovate by integrating hip-hop therapy into traditional counseling practices, increasing accessibility and engagement for diverse populations. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can innovate by promoting cross-cultural collaborations and highlighting diverse voices and perspectives in media. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rapper-Branded QSR Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snoopadelic-shake.md) - [Rapper-Headed Strawberry Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-cream-dream.md) - [Rapper-Backed Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/broadus-foods-snoop-cereal-brand.md) - [Rapper-Backed Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snoops-high-rollers.md) - [Rapper-Approved Functional Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snoop-dogg-3.md) - [Nostalgic Frozen Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-bombay-ice-cream.md) - [Dispensary-Cafe Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swed.md) - [Rapper-Backed Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-5.md) - [Rapper-Endorsed Flame Stove Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blunt-marketing-campaign.md)
