Snoop Dogg previously said he had plans to open a restaurant in the city with none other than Gordon Ramsay.

The rapper explained: “I have been speaking with my boy Gordon for a while about opening a restaurant together - but the pandemic slowed things right down.

"Gordon has got a few places in Vegas and Vegas is Snoop’s city - so I kind of figured that we would open a place there - but I know Gordon is from Scotland and people know my love for Scotland and for Glasgow as a city so - why not there."

Discovered by Dr Dre in early 1990, Snoop Dogg even managed to secure himself a guest slot on Dre's The Chronic in 1992.

His first album Doggystyle, made it to number one on Billboard's hip-hop and Top 200 charts and spawned successful singles "Who Am I (What's My Name) and "Gin and Juice".

The rapper has continued to produce hits throughout the noughties including "Drop It Like It's Hot".

Held in high esteem and affection by hip-hop fans worldwide, Snoop Dogg is now one of the most recognisable faces of the genre with fans in Glasgow set to enjoy a taste of his varied back catalogue.

Snoop Dogg will be playing the OVO Hydro on March 16. Tickets are on sale now.
