Snoop Dogg stole the show at the AFL Grand Final. He wows the audience with a dazzling concert, replete with impressive musical skills and star appeal. The iconic rapper delivered a 45-minute DJ set, thrilling an audience eager to witness his unique blend of hip-hop and spectacle. The elaborate show at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) was held to honour Snoop Dogg’s 25-year career in music. With those two signings, he’s left a huge indelible mark on all of those three huge global platforms.
Snoop Dogg joined forces with Australian singer Jessica Mauboy in the leadup to rehearsals for the grand final. Their rewards for fans were elaborate. They planned a stunning and heartwarming experience for fans. Snoop Dogg is known for his multi-platinum, chart topping mega hits such as “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “Beautiful,” and “Gin and Juice.” With a jaw dropping 88.6 million followers on Instagram, he reaches a much larger audience. His influence is perhaps best demonstrated by his work across all of the country’s biggest stages, from performing at the Olympics to most recently the Super Bowl.
While he was down under, Snoop Dogg was gifted customized jumpers from the Geelong Cats and Brisbane Lions. Not only were the jumpers themselves super stylish, but the Lions jumper had “Snoop” printed on the back, with “Dogg” on the Cats jumper. Looking back on the importance of Australian rules football, he wrote,
“I know it’s not just a team or club, it’s part of your DNA, so I understand what is at stake. I’m here to do my part and to bring what I bring to the table.” – Snoop Dogg
Andrew Dillon, the AFL’s Chief Executive Officer, expressed confidence in Snoop Dogg’s ability to deliver an unforgettable show. He remarked,
“I’ve always been confident that he’d put on a show, but even more confident now.” – Andrew Dillon
Looks like Snoop Dogg really enjoyed himself in his spare time. He kicked a football with Josh and Nick Daicos on the field, going even further down the Australian cultural rabbit hole. His stirring performances at the Espy in St Kilda were perhaps the real highlights of his visit. He walked away with a cool six-figure amount, extending his winning streak as the premier entertainment king of the world.
For this grand final performance, Snoop Dogg reportedly earned between $1.5 million and $2 million, showcasing his value as a performer. His earnest approach to interaction with fans and incorporation of local culture demonstrates a beautiful respect for his Aussie audience.
