Snoop Dogg appears to have implied that he smoked weed with Barack Obama.

On Tuesday (20 April), the rapper released his new album From Tha Streets 2 Tha Suites.

On the track “Gang Signs”, he raps: “Still sippin’ gin and juice / While I’m smoking marijuana / I bet you never blew with Obama.”

While it is not known whether Snoop and Obama did smoke together, the “Young, Wild and Free” musician has previously claimed to have used the drug in a bathroom at the White House.

“When I do a number two I usually have a cigarette or I light something to get the aroma right,” he told Jimmy Kimmel on his YouTube channel.

“[The CIA agents] said, well you know what, you can light a piece of napkin.

“I said I’ll do that – and the napkin was this,” he explained, indicating the joint in his hand.

His claims were never verified, although it was confirmed that Snoop visited the White House in December 2013.

Earlier this month, it was announced that the rapper was joining US reality TV show The Voice as a “Mega Mentor” alongside regular judges Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Nick Jonas, and Blake Shelton.
