“Give me a couple of secrets on how you did this. Can I get a picture with you? You wanna smoke a blunt? Hey man, itâs been real.'”

Snoop recalled visiting the legendary rapper after was shot multiple times in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting along with Suge Knight in 1996.
â[Suge] got shot in the head, but he [was] sitting up here talkinâ to us,â Snoop explained. âWhen we drive to Vegas to see ‘Pac, we got to Suge house first, so we havenât even seen ‘Pac. We just talking to Suge, and he got the head wrapped up and he telling us what happened and, you know, ”Pac gonna be alright, he going to pull through, he got shot nine times before, he going to be alright, [they] hit me in the head.'”
However, when Snoop arrived to see 2Pac, he recalled being so overwhelmed that he fainted when he arrived at the hospital.
“He got tubes in him and itâs like, when I walked in, I could just feel like he wasnât even there, and I fainted,” Snoop recalled. “Then, his [mother Afeni Shakur] got me up and walked me in the bathroom and had a conversation with me about being strong. She was like, âMy baby ainât never seen you weak. I donât want you to be weak in front of him. You go in the bathroom and fix yourself up and you go back in there and you talk to him and you tell him how you feelâŠMy baby loves you.ââ
“She knew how much we loved each other,â Snoop continued. âSo, she gave us a moment for me to say some things to him, as far as how much I love him, but I knew that that was gonna be my last time speaking with him.”
Meanwhile, Snoop has provided an update on the current progress of his much-anticipated collaboration with BTS, revealing that his “parts are in”.
