“Those grandbabies grew up to be Prince William and Harry, so I had influence on them and they had influence on their grandmother, which enabled me to get into this beautiful country. They love my music. There’s mutual love and respect.”
Snoop went on: “Coronation Street, I love it. If they call me I’ll do it. I’ll play whenever they need.
“I love the cinematography, acting, the storylines and just the reality.

“I love the team at Roobet because they’re about giving back, not just taking and making money. They give to charity and give opportunities to people who wouldn’t other wise have it.”
He also hit out at cancel culture insisting: “That’s what the fans love.
