Snoop Dogg has revealed that he shares an unlikely friendship with late Queen Elizabeth, revealing details about their special bond and how she was a fan of his music. The bond stems from the time when the UK was in a frenzy in the 90s over whether or not to deport the rapper to the US following an altercation, but Queen Elizabeth came forward and defended him from getting deported.
Recalling the incident and how she helped him a great deal at the time, the singer spoke about his bond with the royal family member. Here’s everything Dogg said about his relationship with the deceased queen.
Snoop Dogg And Queen Elizabeth’s Friendship
In a conversation with Jordan North on Capital FM, Snoop Dogg revealed he might stop by the Royal Palace on his next trip to London. “I’ll go by the [Buckingham] Palace, see if they let me in,” he said.
Jordan then asked him, “Well, I’ve heard the future King, William, is a huge Snoop fan?” Dogg then replied, “Well, the Queen was a fan too. Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my girl. You know what I’m saying?”
The rapper has previously talked about the Queen’s intervention during his deportation with much gratitude, talking about how she came to his defense. According to Independent, Dogg said, “Guess who came to my defence? Just take a guess. The Queen.”
“The Queen said, ‘This man has done nothing in our country. He can come.’ The queen… bow down… When the Queen speaks, bow down. That’s Harry and William’s grandmother, you dig? You think they weren’t there, saying, ‘Grandma, please let him in, grandma. He’s OK. We love his music,'” he said.
He further added that the Queen said, “You know Harry, I’ll let him in for you. He’s not so bad after all and he’s quite cute.’ The Queen, that’s my gal.”

Why Did Snoop Dogg Almost Get Deported From The UK?
Snoop Dogg is no stranger to legal troubles. One of his biggest cases in the early 1990s was charges of first and second degree murder in connection with the death of a gang member. Although they were dropped in 1996, it had a profound effect on his career.
In 2010, the rapper arrived in London for a music festival and a dispute with airport staff led to a brawl because of his aggressiveness. He was refused to enter the country and Queen Elizabeth had to intervene. According to him, the Queen let him off as he did nothing wrong, and also because Prince Harry and Prince William were fans of his music.
This incident remains one of Snoop’s most cherished incidents as he speaks about it often.
