Snoop also said he told her what he often says to the stars of today when he meets them: “I said, ‘One thing about me, I’m from the old generation but I don’t hate on y’all’. I may critique, but when I see y’all, I’m gonna give you love and I’m gonna tell you face-to-face, ‘You’re doing an amazing job, here’s some things you can do better.’”
Snoop, meanwhile, is preparing to release ‘Missionary’, the follow-up to his 1993 debut ‘Doggystyle’ that sees him reunite with producer Dr. Dre. The album will be out on December 13 via Death Row Records, and is set to feature a host of stars, including Sting.
Dre had previously said he hoped for a November release date, and explained that ‘Missionary’ differs from ‘Doggystyle’ because: “This one’s gonna show a different level of maturity with his lyrics and with my music. I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career.”
Sexyy Red, meanwhile, confirmed that she did vote for Kamala Harris in the presidential election, despite her previous comments supporting Donald Trump.
She had previously said: “They support him in the hood. At first I don’t think people was fucking with him. They thought he was racist, saying little shit against women. But once he started getting Black people out of jail and giving people that free money. Aww baby, we love Trump.”
“We need him back in office. We need him back because, baby, them checks. Them stimulus checks. Trump, we miss you.”
However, on November 1 she said, “I just voted!”, alongside the hashtag #Kamala4President.
