Snoop Lion

Yesterday Mr Steerpike brought you news that rapper Snoop Dogg had taken his ban from the country of Norway remarkably well. Perhaps I spoke too soon. The Artist Formally Known as Snoop Dogg told hacks in the Big Apple yesterday: ‘I want to bury Snoop Dogg, and become Snoop Lion’. Righty- ho.

‘I didn’t know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, “Snoop Dogg”. And he looked me in my eyes and said, “No more. You are the light; you are the lion.” From that moment on, it’s like I had started to understand why I was there. This was like a rebirth for me.’

I see. With characteristic modesty the rapper also declared:

‘I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated. I feel I have always been a Rastafarian. I just didn’t have my third eye open, but its wide open right now.
