Rap star Snoop Dogg has admitted to being a huge admirer of Sir Paul McCartney.
Sir Paul McCartney is a fan of Snoop Dogg.
The 53-year-old rap star recently met the Beatles icon and Snoop was shocked to discover that McCartney listened to his music.
During an appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, Snoop shared: “He wanted to meet me. That was crazy!
“I was like, ‘I want to meet Paul McCartney.’ They was like, ‘Sir Paul would like to meet you.’ I’m like, ‘For real? Bring him over here!'”
Snoop explained that they have a “mutual love” and appreciation for each other and their music.
He said: “It was about just respect and love, and he really knew who I was musically. That blew my mind.
“Like, I’m telling him about all the records I like from him, but then he telling me about who I am and how he liked me. It’s just appreciation. I call that mutual love, fan appreciation.”
McCartney remains hugely passionate about making music, describing it as his “hobby”.
The iconic star previously insisted that he’d continue to write new music, even if he “finished playing professionally”.
The 82-year-old singer told the Guardian newspaper: “It’s my hobby. If I’ve got a day off I might write a song. Because I love it, that’s all there is to it.
“If I finished playing professionally tomorrow, I’d still do it – it beats working.”
McCartney shot to stardom as part of the Beatles in the 1960s, and he still has very fond memories of working alongside John Lennon, who died in December 1980, aged 40.
The duo formed a legendary writing partnership, and McCartney believes they complemented each other perfectly.
The ‘Penny Lane’ hitmaker reflected: “He was a genius … I helped.”
