VANCOUVER – Rapper and noted sports fan Snoop Dogg will help the B.C. Lions kick off their CFL season next month.
The Lions announced Tuesday that the award-winning musician, producer and actor will perform at B.C. Place Stadium head of the team’s game against the Edmonton Elks on June 7th.
Snoop Dogg — who has also gone by the moniker Snoop Lion — has been making music for more than three decades, with hits including “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “Gin and Juice,” and “Still a G Thang.”
He’s become a pop culture icon known for working with a variety of entertainers from rapper-producer Dr. Dre to television personality Martha Stewart, and was a roving correspondent for NBC at last summer’s Paris Olympics.
Snoop Dogg has seven platinum records, 20 Grammy Award nominations, and multiple BET Awards and MTV Movie Awards.
Big concerts have become an annual tradition for the Lions. Last year, the team launched its season with a performance by rapper 50 Cent that drew an announced crowd of 53,788.
