Dr. Dre has opened up about his relationship and “synergy” with Snoop Dogg – see what the rap icon had to say below.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight after performing for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games handover celebration, – which also included Billie Eilish and Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dr. Dre revealed that his bond with Snoop Dogg goes much further than just recording music in the studio.
Dre said to ET: “It’s magical. I don’t even feel comfortable performing without Snoop. Something about the synergy that me and Snoop have is really interesting.” He went on to add, “Really, Snoop, he’s the superstar. I’m the co-star when we get on stage. It’s different when we’re in the studio, you know? I’m the captain when we’re in the studio, but when we go outside, Snoop is the guy.”
Dre then spoke about the Olympic handover performance, during which he and Snoop Dogg performed ‘The Next Episode’. The performance was pre-taped, given the time difference between Paris and Los Angeles.
When asked how they managed to keep the performance a secret, Dre explained: “The Olympic Committee, they handled that. I was wondering how they were gonna do that and nobody had cell phones or anything like that. It was filmed the day before it aired.”
In March, Dre revealed that he and Snoop had completed recording the long-awaited sequel to their 1993 hit album, ‘Doggystyle’. The album is being titled ‘Missionary’, and entered the mixing and mastering stage in April. It has yet to receive a release date but is expected to drop sometime this year.
