Snoop Dogg, then Snoop Doggy Dogg, had a track simply entitled 'Doggy
Dogg World' on his debut album in 1993. The chorus runs:

It's a crazy mixed up world, it's a Doggy Dogg World
It's a Doggy Dogg World, it's a Doggy Dogg World
The Dogg's World.

The play on his name and the phrase was presumably deliberate.
