Rapper Snoop Dogg pleaded guilty Thursday to carrying a deadly weapon through a security checkpoint at John Wayne Airport last September.

Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was sentenced to 160 hours of community service and three years of unsupervised probation. He was also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine plus about $120 in court fees. Broadus cannot do the community service with children, gangs or football clubs because, prosecutors said, he already does much volunteer work in those areas.

“Why can’t I work with kids?” Broadus asked Judge Erick Larsh. “I do anti-gang stuff. That’s what I do.”

“It is punishment and there has to be pain in that punishment,” Larsh replied.
