Snoop Dogg has gifted his fellow Day Shift co-star Jamie Foxx a chain featuring the infamous Death Row logo.
The two co-stars appeared together on the red carpet premiere of their new Netflix action film, and Snoop took a moment to honor Jaime with a meaningful new piece of hardware.
“Yeah I got something for the Foxx man you know for looking out for me, for speaking up for me, for putting me in this motion picture,” Snoop told Entertainment Tonight. “I wanted to gift him with something special.”
He then handed Foxx a red box labeled Death Row Records, and for a moment the “Blame It” star was in disbelief.
“You gotta be kidding me man,” he said. “You gotta be kidding me man. This better not be what I think it is cause I saw everyone else getting one and I didn’t wanna say nothing in the interview.”
He continued: “the Death Row chain man. The Death Row chain man. Rose gold, and let me tell you why that’s so significant. I watched this man as a young artist sometimes have to fight for his life, and he was giving everybody anthems and songs. While we were partying and dancing sometimes he’d come to the crib and he’d be like, ‘I don’t know.’
“So for this day to come to here for us to see him bloom it’s special. To see him kicking ass in this movie as an actor, and at the same time anybody can tell you, Snoop is the ambassador of grace, entertainment and fun.
He added: “Anytime you say Snoop Doggy Dogg, your soul lights up. So for this moment right here. It means everything my dude.”
Jamie Foxx was right in saying that everyone seems to be receiving a Death Row chain these days. Snoop Dogg recently gifted Stephen Curry his own chain, and had previously given one to NFL star Eli Manning for his 41st birthday.
Atlanta star LaKeith Stanfield, who played Snoop Dogg in Straight Outta Compton, recently slid into Snoop’s comments to ask for his own Death Row chain as well.
Ma$e Announces He's Joining Death Row Records
Directed by J.J. Perry, the vampire hunter film Day Shift stars Foxx as a hard-working, blue-collar dad who splits his time between cleaning swimming pools and hunting vampires, while Snoop stars alongside him as fellow vampire hunter Big John Elliott.
“We’re making something that you’ve never seen before,” Foxx said in a behind-the-scenes clip. “It’s fun, and the stunts that you see are amazing and it’s practical. The way J.J. uses all of his stuntwomen and men is brilliant. So I can’t wait for people to get a dose of this and find out how to kill vampires.”
Snoop Dogg and Jamie Foxx have had nothing but love and respect for each other for years, the former even said he would require someone of Foxx’s caliber to play him in a biopic.
“I don’t know who could play me,” he said in February 2021. “I think it’s gonna have to win me over. When I think of someone playing you, I think of how Jamie Foxx played Ray [Charles]. That was like, spot on. So I would have to find me a Jamie Foxx or somebody that can actually become Snoop Dogg on screen and give me all of that element.”
Damn, thought we‘d get a new Jamie album on the label
Danny Boy would be pissed
So we’re just handing out DeathRow chains to just anybody?
Ha ha, even Eli Manning got a Death Row chain.
sorry all this cgi makes movies look like cartoons n video games i.e fake
Orlando Anderson should have just waited 25 years and Snoop would have probably got one. He didn’t have to sreal one and then kill Pac.
You don’t know if Orlando Anderson had anything to do with Tupac Shakur’s murder, that’s just speculation on your behalf.
Baby Lane was the prime suspect in Pac’s murder before he was killed himself. His own mf uncle Keefe D straight up told the LAPD that Orlando was the shooter in Pac’s case. Stop being one of those “PAC IS ALIVE!!” clowns
Jamie Foxx deserve this honor on Suge
That chain used to be very exclusive to select people. Now it’s being passed around like backwoods in a group smoke session. Damn Snoop
Snoop trying to resurrect Death Row is kind of sad. It’s dead man. That style of music isn’t coming back. Snoop has independently owned 3 labels I believe before this, and all 3 failed so quickly that they were forgotten a day after his new artists dropped music. Doggtown records. Doggystyle records. Both failed because Snoop is doing the same old tired junk. Not saying Doggystyle would sound tired today… saying most everything he came out with since that was not that good. He had some hits that aged very badly, like “that’s that shit”. Aged poorly. 1 classic album and 14+ meh to crap albums. Sad man. Let death row be the past. Can’t come back without dre and Pac.
