The Time The Late Queen Elizabeth II Helped Snoop Dogg Avoid UK Ban
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: PIUS UTOMI EKPEI / Getty Queen Elizabeth II has passed away at 96. It’s not a stretch to say Hip-Hop isn’t into the Royals (there’s that whole colonizer situation), but somehow, Snoop Dogg once found himself on the good side of the late monarch. Earlier this year, Snoop detailed how the Queen kept him from being banned in the UK during the midst of his infamous murder trial. The “Gin & Juice” rapper told DJ Whoo Kid how back in ’94 (two years before his acquittal), the Queen held him down. “This was while I was fighting a murder case, over there [U.K.] doing shows,” said Snoop after recalling how UK citizens wanted him banned from the nation. “But guess who came to my defense?

VMAs 2022: Eminem and Snoop Dogg Trip Through the Metaverse
Eminem and Snoop Dogg took a trip through the proverbial metaverse during their MTV Video Music Awards performance of “From the D 2 the LBC” tonight (Aug. 28). Much like in the song’s recent music video, the veteran rappers transformed from human into animated Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT characters. This time out, the segment began with Eminem and Snoop relaxing on a couch while the latter puffed on a comically oversized joint.

The real artists finished the song in front of the similarly real VMAs audience at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Eminem and Snoop performed “From the D 2 the LBC” for the first time on June 23 during...
