Snoop Dogg Reflects on Meeting Paul McCartney
"This is Paul McCartney, he knows who I am," the rapper recalls of meeting the music legend.
There probably aren’t too many celebrities left on Snoop Dogg’s bucket list, but he checked a major one off earlier this year when he met Paul McCartney for the first time.
Fresh off performing at the Olympics’ Closing Ceremony, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre recently sat down with Complex, and The Doggfather reflected on having the chance to link up with The Beatles legend, where the respect was mutual.
“I did a little concert for somebody in Hollywood. Paul McCartney was there. I never met him before, but I’m a f–king fan of The Beatles,” he began. “I know Jimmy [Iovine] know him, I know Dre know him. I’m in the back smoking and they’re like, ‘Sir Paul would like to meet you.’ I’m like, ‘Oh for real? Hold on.’
Snoop continued, noting he didn’t know McCartney is also a cannabis connoisseur. “I put the blunt out, cuz walk in the room like, ‘Don’t put that down!’ He give me a hug and he meet me and I’m like, ‘F–k, Paul McCartney know who the f–k Snoop Dogg is!'” recalled the rapper. “This is Paul McCartney, he knows who I am. That’s the experience I love is when the people you respect, respect you.”
