Snoop Dogg: ‘The Queen was a fan too. Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my girl’

Written by on July 23, 2024

This morning, Snoop Dogg joined Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby.

From hip-hop royalty to English royalty, Snoop Dogg joined Capital Breakfast’s Jordan North for high tea on the show this morning, where the rapper remembered the late Queen Elizabeth II as ‘his girl,’ sharing his hopes of being let into Buckingham Palace while he is over in London! With talk turning to sport, Snoop also revealed his excitement at seeing breakdancing debut at this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris, and he joked that rival football fans in the UK are ‘worse than gang members’ after recalling that wearing a Manchester United shirt once got him into hot water in ‘enemy territory.’

Snoop Dogg remembers the late Queen Elizabeth II as ‘his girl’ during high tea with Jordan North

JN: “So how long are you in England for?”

SD: “I’m in England for about two or three days. I’m out here fancying some tea. I wanted to see Wimbledon; I think it’s over with.”

JN: “Yeah, it finished last week.”

SD: “Man.”

JN: “Sorry about that.”

SD: “I’ll go by the palace, see if they let me in.”

JN: “Well, I’ve heard the future king, William, is a huge Snoop fan?”

SD: “Hopefully I can get in. Well, the Queen was a fan too. Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my girl. You know what I’m saying? So, just may want to go up and, you know, see what you do.”

JN: “Yeah.”

SD: “Let me in or not.”

JN: “I’m pretty sure you could go to the palace – You’re Snoop Dogg, you can do anything you want.”

SD: “They going to let me in?”

JN: “Yeah, I can sort that out.”

JN: “We also know that you’re a bit of a soccer fan. There’s a famous picture of you in a Norwich FC t-shirt that you performed in. Do you remember as well in 2016 you were given a Burnley shirt – do you remember this?”

SD: “I know that I am very particular about those jerseys that I wear, and I know not to wear them in enemy territory.”

JN: “That’s good.”

SD: “Well, I didn’t know that in the beginning. When I first started coming out here, I think I wore a Manchester U[nited], and I was somewhere I wasn’t…”

JN: “Liverpool?”

SD: “Yeah, somewhere like that! They were like, ‘what the **** are you doing, Snoop? Take that ******* jacket off!’ I thought I was representing!”

JN: “Okay, I am going to give you an up-to-date Burnley top, because that’s my football team, but don’t wear this in Blackburn.”

SD: “Damn, see I hate that you all do that! You’re all worse than gang members!”

JN: “You’re going over there [France] for the Olympics, what’s your favourite Olympic sport? What are you looking forward to seeing the most?”

SD: “I’m looking forward to track and field, definitely, because there are a lot of great sprinters and a lot of great runners. I definitely love gymnastics, swimming, basketball, and breakdancing – I’m definitely looking forward to breakdancing.”

JN: “Oh yes!”

SD: “They put that in the Olympics. And breakdancing has always been a global thing from the moment it came out, and I felt like the world received it after America created it, and the world took it to another level, so I am anxious to see what country is going to do things that I haven’t seen with breakdancing. I was there at the evolution of it, when it was created.”

JN: “Really?”

SD: “Yeah, when hip-hop was born, I was a kid. So, it was like I was seeing the things, like pop-locking and breakdancing. Me and my friends would get a cardboard, wear windbreakers and sweatsuits, and spin, listen to certain songs and do routines. And it was like the biggest thing, it was bigger than rap at the beginning! And then I watched it grow to different countries doing it, and seeing how they added and made it bigger and better. So, by being in the Olympics, it’s a real competition; you get to represent for your country. So, I’m anxious to see what that looks like. I want to really be there for one of those competitions to see who really get at.”
