In the Oct. 2 episode of Conan O’Brien’s podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend aired on SiriusXM Garage, Ed Sheeran, 32, reminisced about an unforgettable experience with Snoop Dogg, 51, where they enjoyed a smoking session backstage post a show in Australia last March.
Despite the presence of Sheeran’s wife and mother-in-law, the singer took the opportunity to fulfil his longstanding desire of sharing a smoke with Snoop, an experience documented on Instagram.
It was March 4, during Snoop’s Melbourne concert part of his I Wanna Thank Me Tour, where Sheeran and actor Russell Crowe were gifted gold Death Row Records chains by Snoop Dogg backstage. The moment, captured in an Instagram Reel, was viewed by thousands, showcasing an atmosphere thick with smoke and enthusiasm.
Sheeran was visibly excited in the post, sharing his own image alongside Snoop with a caption reflecting his exhilaration. Snoop reciprocated with a post, donning Sheeran’s chain, and expressing his delight.
The British singer-songwriter found himself engulfed in smoke, an experience intensified due to his casual relationship with smoking. His close proximity with Russell Crowe, a good friend of Snoop, facilitated this unforgettable encounter.
“Being friends with Russell Crowe has its perks, and getting to share a smoke with Snoop is one of them,” Sheeran recounted. “It started with one, then another, and before I knew it, my vision was a blur,” he continued, drawing laughter from O’Brien and the audience. A reminiscent moment to a 2013 incident with rapper The Game was also brought up.
Snoop’s Unending Affinity for Smoking
Snoop’s legendary smoking habits are no secret. He has been open about his prodigious consumption, claiming the intake of an astounding number of blunts daily, aided by a dedicated blunt roller. Recently, Snoop ventured into the cannabis industry with Death Row Cannabis, much to the excitement of enthusiasts.
With strains like Strawberry Gelato and LA Runtz introduced in May, the brand gained traction. O’Brien, a frequent host to Snoop on his shows, reflected on these moments in his podcasts, unrestricted by traditional broadcasting guidelines.
The tale of Sheeran’s smoky encounter with the rap legend adds to the myriad of stories revolving around Snoop’s iconic smoking sessions.
