Snoop Dogg, the American rapper and co-owner of Swansea City, has issued a unique request to fans ahead of his inaugural visit to the club.
He has asked supporters to serenade him by twirling complimentary towels when he attends Tuesday evening’s Championship clash against Preston at the Swansea.com Stadium.
The music icon, who holds a minority stake in the Sky Bet Championship club alongside television host Martha Stewart and Croatia international Luka Modric, is set to make his first appearance at the ground.
He has called for a sold-out crowd to be in their seats ahead of kick-off to participate in the towel twirling, a tradition often seen in American sports.
A post on Swansea’s official X account stated: "@SnoopDogg is asking the Jack Army to join him in a pre-match towel twirl this evening. Fans are encouraged to be in their seats 20 minutes before kick-off, and to twirl the towels as Snoop walks on the pitch."
The post was accompanied by a short video demonstrating the desired action.
Announcing his visit last week, Snoop Dogg expressed his anticipation on the club’s official website.
He said: "I know it has been a long time coming, but I cannot wait to finally make my first visit to Swansea. From the moment we talked about me becoming an owner, I have been looking forward to the chance to be with you all at the Swansea.com Stadium.
“I have heard so many great things about the atmosphere, especially when we play under the lights. When I watched the Wrexham game, where we showed we are the capital of Welsh football, the noise in the stadium sounded incredible even from over 5,000 miles away. I can’t wait to be a part of it."
The rapper, known for hits such as ‘Gin and Juice’, has enjoyed a successful three-decade music career, topping the UK charts and receiving 16 Grammy nominations.
He previously garnered attention at the Winter Olympics, where he served as an honorary coach for Team USA and a special correspondent for NBC, notably asking British curlers Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds for a photograph.
