The rap legend is known to be a fan of Versatile, and even appeared in a video for their 2019 single Escape Wagon.

At the beginning of the song, the Gangsta's Paradise hit maker can be heard drawing comparisons between Dublin's Ringsend and Los Angeles and labelled the inner city neighbourhood "the Compton of Europe".

The venue has become a celebrity hot spot lately as "king of Instagram" Dan Bilzerian visited the pub this week with a group of models.

The 41-year-old social media personality is known for flaunting his luxurious lifestyle and after visiting the Crumlin haunt.

He shared snaps of him downing shots in a swimming pool surrounded by models.
