After being called in the 9th inning to pinch-hit for an defecting Lil Wayne on Saturday (November 28), Snoop Dogg emerged as the fan-favorite of the highly publicized Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. fight.
While the main event proved to be more about respecting the two legends’ boxing stamina than the sport itself, the Nate Robinson versus Jake Paul undercard gave debauched viewers the carnage they were seeking when the YouTube star gave the former NBA Slam Dunk champ not one but two first-class seats to the canvas, with the second ticket separating Robinson from his consciousness.
“Oh my GOD!” Snoop exclaimed after the first knockdown. “Lord have mercy! Oh, Jesus! Oh, Lawd! Precioussss Lawwdddd … take my handddd… lead my onnnnn … let me standdddd…”
A woozy Robinson found his face back in the reach of Paul’s fists not too soon after and Snoop was even quicker to react.
“Good night Irene,” Snoop quipped moments before Paul connected with the aforementioned face. “Oh, Lawd!” he screamed once again upon the stiff jab’s impact.
The moment gets even funnier when it clicks Snoop also has a top-charting Gospel album under his belt.
Ever the multi-talented entertainer, Snoop soon after channeled his recent Verzuz appearance and performed a medley of classics including “Bitch Please,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “Down 4 My Niggas.” The performance was an impromptu lifesaver, seeing Lil Wayne was signed and sealed to be the musical headliner but didn’t deliver when it was time to hop on the plane.
Hours before the flight, he tweeted out a mea culpa, “Due to unforeseeable circumstances I won’t be performing tonight at the Tyson/Jones fight. Hope the event is still a success and much love to Triller. Love.”
YG, Swae Lee, French Montana, SAINt JHn and Wiz Khalifa also performed energetic sets and Ne-Yo rocked out the National Anthem.
According to Yahoo Sports reporter Kevin Iole, Tyson made $10 million from the fight, while Roy Jones Jr. raked in $3 million. The trickle-down effect module means all the rap stars made out with decent coin as well.
Lil Wayne Reportedly Bails On Mike Tyson & Roy Jones Jr. Fight Last Minute, Snoop Dogg & SAINt JHn To The Rescue
Check below for some of the most fevered reactions from the Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. fight. What a time to be alive.
That was hilarious shit from the Doggfather, big ups to Nate for having the balls to step up.
No one should be surprised Nate got dropped, Paul had the height, weight & reach over him. Nate needs to be on someone’s basketball team, not in the ring. But cot damn……
You obviously don’t watch boxing because If you actually followed Tyson’s career you would know height and reach don’t mean shit.
You sound retarded. Literally everyone Tyson lost to had height reach and weight advantages on him.
I’m out on Snoop. This guy will do anything for a paycheck. He’s a pimp, then he’s a pastor, then he’s a Rasta, then he’s a gangster, then he’s a pop-culture darling, then he’s an activist, then he’s a killer, then he’s a football coach. When you’re that many things, you’re really none of them, you’re just phony.
Stop hatin! Snoop is a legend hes an entertainer and can be what ever he wants to be when he wants to be it. We all go through phases in life since when do you have to be just 1 thing? You sound foolish and close minded or maybe your just broke and wish you had as many opportunities to get paid as he does.
Stormcloak, you said it right. Snoop is a phony ass fake Crip. He walks around with armed guards everyday all day the. Claims he’s a gangster. This clown hangs w Driving Ms Daisy ass Martha Stewart for a check. He talks shit like he ain’t no media puppet. Snoop sings a
Pimp, he’s a prostitute.
He can do all that and all you’ll ever be is a hater, mad online.
Snoop was annoying af.. nxt time bring someone up who actually knows how 2 be funny and commentate
Not laughing at ur knockdown Nate…lol was thinking about the time u tried to congratulate Paul Pierce on a made basket and he dissed yo ass like he didnt see u!!! LMFAO!!!! THE LOOK ON RAY ALLEN’S FACE LOL!!…..peace to Nate, excellent basketball player….underrated 100%
its like 1000 blogs all get the same pr release n news and just run with it, the internet dead at this point its 99 percent garbage
Snoop made it all about him. Went to the well too many times with the uncle cookout jokes. Kept saying stupid, unfunny shit. His commentary was as good as Nate Robinson’s boxing. This site’s takes on both hip hop and non hip hop matters has been so bad for the past few years.
The black community is …idk if this was a white guy that was knocked out white people would not bother making a Joke about it because its a boxing match and theoretically this kind of stuff happens so its not really surprising but we laugh at each other while everyone else laugh at us..and this is another reason why mental health on our end goes unchecked. Big ups for Nate for at least having the courage and putting himself out there for our entertainment.
Stfu. Watch any video where white people do dumb shit and get hurt people are always making fun. Don’t make it a race issue you simple Simon dumb fuck.
Snoop was mocking god. Funny nobody mentions that. Just more proof of how godless society has become.
FOH Karen, my god
helo a nice post
