Snoop Dogg won hearts as NBC’s Olympic ambassador in the summer of 2024, but when it comes to football, he has one team in mind: the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he doesn’t know who’s rooting for them. I also don’t want to be disturbed by this.
On Sunday Night Football on Oct. 6, the “Gin and Juice” star, 52, revealed that his passion for the Steelers has led him to attend the upcoming Steelers vs. Chiefs game with fans of the opposing team. He told Today that he didn’t feel like watching the game anymore. The rule would also apply to Taylor Swift, a megastar and well-known Chiefs supporter whose relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is credited with raising the profile of the NFL.

There’s no “bad blood” between the rapper and the pop star, 34, but Snoop says he just doesn’t want Chiefs fans to be around him when he watches games. When asked if they would watch Swift together, he simply replied, “That’s not going to happen.” “When it comes to the Steelers game, it’s either us or anybody else’s side. We’re not taking anyone else’s side.” Snoop has spoken positively about Swift in the past, and has been quoted as saying by Death Row Records. owner said on the Full Send Podcast that he is considering re-recording his album in the same way as Swift. He also agreed that some of her songs are “classic bangers,” so it seems like it’s not entirely impossible that they attend a sporting event together in the future.
DO Double G explained that he has always been a Steelers fan despite being from California. “Well, I had to understand that in the 1970s there were only a few teams that really dominated. The Steelers were one of the teams that represented how I felt,” he said. The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” singer seemed to have a good time at the stadium during Sunday’s game, even leading fans in the Steelers’ tradition of “bad towel twirling.”
