Snoop Dogg recently related a vintage tale about how Michael Jackson used to get irritated with him for smoking.
The host of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live questioned the 52-year-old rapper if he had ever met the late singer, who passed away in June 2002, during their discussion.
Snoop revealed: “Mike and I were related.” My family and his family are close to one another. Our record was never released together. We never experienced problems.
He continued by telling an old tale about an occasion when fashion designers Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier had arranged for him and Michael to have their dressing rooms next to one another.
The rapper, puffing on a joint, remarked, “He had Snoop Dogg perform, Michael Jackson perform, but where he messed up, he put the Michael Jackson dressing room right next to Snoop Dogg, so Snoop Dogg is there doing this.”
“Mmm-hmm, and they’re like, ‘You know, Michael Jackson’s dressing room is next door,'” Snoop said. I say, “No, it’s not.” “Yeah, there,” they say, and I respond, “Hold on.” “Open the door.”
“Whoa, that’s amazing. You really put in a lot of work,” Andy remarked, and Snoop joined in to play Michael, adopting a quiet, high-pitched voice. Indeed. There he is, staring at me. “Snoop, don’t do that,” he commanded.
