In a surprising revelation, Tom Kenny, the voice behind SpongeBob SquarePants for 25 years, has shared that the beloved animated character is a massive fan of rap legend Snoop Dogg.
This fun tidbit adds a fresh layer to the quirky world of Bikini Bottom as fans gear up for the upcoming film, SpongeBob: Creature from the Krusty Krab, set to hit theaters on December 19, 2025.
Kenny, who has brought the optimistic sea sponge to life since the show’s debut in 1999, recently spilled the beans during an interview, hinting at SpongeBob’s musical tastes. “SpongeBob’s got Snoop Dogg on repeat,” Kenny said with a laugh. “You can imagine him flipping burgers at the Krusty Krab, humming ‘Still Dre’ while dreaming of rolling through Bikini Bottom with the top down.”
But the Snoop Dogg fandom is just the tip of the iceberg. According to Kenny, the new movie will dive deeper into SpongeBob’s character, presenting a “coming-of-age” story that uncovers previously unknown facets of the iconic sponge. “This film is going to show sides of SpongeBob fans haven’t seen before,” Kenny teased. “It’s still got all the goofy charm, but there’s a lot of heart and some surprising revelations about who he is and what makes him tick.”
SpongeBob: Creature from the Krusty Krab promises to blend the franchise’s signature humor with a more mature narrative, exploring SpongeBob’s journey in a way that resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers.
The film, directed by series veteran Derek Drymon, will feature the classic voice cast, including Bill Fagerbakke as Patrick, Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs, and Carolyn Lawrence as Sandy, alongside new characters and, perhaps, a nod to SpongeBob’s rap obsession.

Fans are already buzzing with excitement, imagining SpongeBob cruising through Bikini Bottom, blasting Snoop Dogg’s hits like “Drop It Like It’s Hot” or “Gin and Juice.”
Social media has lit up with memes of SpongeBob in oversized shades, leaning back in a lowrider boatmobile, with Dr. Dre’s beats echoing underwater. While it’s unclear if Snoop Dogg himself will make a cameo, the rapper’s influence on pop culture makes him a perfect fit for the SpongeBob universe.
As the release date approaches, anticipation is building for what promises to be a fresh take on everyone’s favorite fry cook. Will SpongeBob’s love for Snoop Dogg inspire a rap battle at the Krusty Krab? Could we see him spitting rhymes with Squidward?
One thing’s for sure: SpongeBob: Creature from the Krusty Krab is shaping up to be an unforgettable adventure, with a side of West Coast flavor.
Mark your calendars for December 19, and get ready to see SpongeBob like never before—square pants, big dreams, and a playlist that’s straight-up gangsta.
