Snoop Dogg greeted by fans as Swansea City co-owner makes first visit to stadium

Watch as Snoop Dogg is welcomed to Swansea by a record-breaking crowd of over 21,000 people.

The American rapper, who is a minority owner of the Championship club alongside American television host Martha Stewart and Croatia international Luka Modric, made his first appearance at the Swansea.com Stadium on Tuesday (24 February) for their clash against Preston.

Footage shows the rapper, real name Calvin Broadus, arriving at the stadium and mingling with fans who had been eagerly waiting for him.

Snoop Dogg, who joined the Swansea ownership group last July, arrived three hours ahead of kick-off at 7.45pm. He requested that the sold-out crowd be in their seats before the game begins so they could twirl complimentary towels – a staple action for supporters in American sport.
