Inspired by his Hollywood friend Ryan Reynolds’ purchase of Welsh team Wrexham, Snoop Dogg has said that he is prepared to invest in Celtic FC. The multimillionaire rapper who is football-daft claimed that he would be crazy not to invest money in his beloved team and that he would even be delighted to serve as their mascot.
The 17-time Grammy nominee, who was popular as a torchbearer at the Olympics in Paris, stated in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mail: “I love what Ryan has done with Wrexham – it’s just a great story.”
“I’ve been considering investing in a sports team for a while; if the opportunity to invest in Celtic arose, I wouldn’t be foolish to do so. Despite my extensive football watching in Europe, I have never encountered Celtic supporters like them. They have a really unique quality.
“The greatest players and coaches in the world tell you that there is nowhere like Celtic Park, and I want to be a part of that. That’s why their fans are talked about throughout Europe.” You couldn’t make that up—a dog is their mascot.It must be a coupling made in heaven when Snoop Dogg transforms into Hoopy the Hound. The headlines are self-explanatory.
Snoop, 52, has been a supporter of the team for 20 years and is worth £120 million. He claimed to be ecstatic when they won the 2022–2023 title while playing in Glasgow last year while wearing the strip.
The Long Beach, California-born rapper has made appearances in numerous Hollywood productions and has previously discussed duetting with Sir Rod Stewart, a Celtics supporter. However, he would also adore sharing a stage with Susan Boyle, another Hoops devotee.
Snoop, who married his childhood lover Shante Taylor in 1997, stated earlier this year that he would love to sing with Sir Rod in Las Vegas and attend a game at Parkhead. “I would love to go to a Celtic game with Sir Rod – if not this season maybe next – we need to make that happen,” the father of four stated. Vegas has actually always been Snoop’s hometown, and he is one of the real monarchs of the city.
When Snoop landed in Scotland last year before his performance at the OVO Hydro, he was met by a bagpiper performing the song “Still D.R.E.” He claimed that the crowds here are the best in the world. “Scots always show me so much love; they greet me with Celtic jerseys or bagpipes,” he remarked.
“They are very sophisticated; Snoop always feels loved when he lands in Scotland, and you guys reciprocate that love.” My most recent performance in Glasgow was fantastic. I swear, Scotland, I will return.
Since 2005, when Scots DJ Big Al gave him his first strip, Snoop has been a Hoops fan. He mentioned that, aside from watching Celtic, his favourite thing to do when he travels is to eat Indian food and asked for recommendations.
“The UK has the best Indian food in the world. If you know of the best curry in Glasgow, please let me know on social media,” he stated.
Because of his resemblance to the cartoon character, the businessman, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., was known as “Snoopy” when he was younger. His albums have sold 35 million copies.The celebrity, who has always loved wrestling, thinks highly of Scots WWE icon Drew McIntyre. In 2016, Snoop was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame. “Drew is an incredible wrestler – one of my favourites of recent years,” he said earlier this year. I would be delighted to offer commentary on one of his championship bouts.
The rapper is eager to collaborate with Scot Calvin Harris on another song. “We are going to make it happen,” he declared in 2023.
