Snoop Dogg wants lucrative TV role

23rd May 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Snoop Dogg would appear on a TV talent show as long as the "money was right".

The rapper has admitted he enjoys programme such as The X Factor, which is making the move Stateside this year. Talent shows often feature well-known stars that mentor the contestants and it's a role Snoop thinks he'd be perfect for.

"I'd love to, especially if they got their pounds together," he replied, when asked if he'd like to appear on Britain's The X Factor. "Get your money right and come and see me. That'd be one of the reasons to do it."

Snoop has been thinking about the UK a lot lately, thanks to the recent wedding of Britain's Prince William to Catherine Middleton. He didn't attend the nuptials or watch them on television, but he did think about the happy couple a lot during their big day.

"I had a BBQ that I had to attend so I couldn't break away from that. But I sent a lovely gift, and I left an email for the queen to bless her and her grandbaby," he told Newsbeat. "[I got them] something special, I'd rather not say, they know what they got."

Snoop is currently promoting his new album Doggumentary. He thoroughly enjoyed making the record as he was able to lay down tracks he liked without worrying about how they would be perceived by others. He's sure the LP will be a hit with fans and hopes to continue recording for a long time.

"I'm at the point in my career where it's not about nothing but just making the music that feels good to me and the people who love me," he said. "So I'm in the state of mind where it's not so much work anymore, it's fun. It's not about record sales, it's not about trying to accomplish anything but giving the people who down with me some great music." (C) Cover Media
