On a Tuesday evening, Snoop Dogg showcased a relatable side of himself like never before. Taking to Instagram after the Los Angeles Lakers secured an overtime victory against the New York Knicks, the influential rap artist and cultural icon attributed his heightened blood pressure and anxiety to the team’s performance.
In a recent game, the Lakers faced off against the top Eastern Conference team, the Boston Celtics, and unfortunately lost 125-121. It was disheartening, especially because it came on the heels of another overtime loss just a few days prior. However, the Lakers bounced back in their next game with a thrilling 129-123 victory, putting an end to their two-game losing streak. Their star player, LeBron James, showcased his impressive skills by recording a triple-double. In a video capturing the aftermath of this win, Snoop Dogg was seen celebrating and enjoying the moment, but also expressing some concerns about the team’s performance.
“You probably know what that smile means – it’s the Lakers triumphing!” “We always manage to come through,” he responded, letting out a light laugh. With a more serious tone, he added, “You’ve really got my heart racing and my nerves on edge, damn you!” If you want to achieve victories consistently, you better start finding a solution. “I can’t believe I’ve reached this age!”
It seems like Snoop Dogg will have to stay on top of his blood pressure management for a while, as the Lakers are currently occupying the 13th spot in the Western Conference with a not-so-impressive record of 24-28. On Thursday night, they will be facing off against the Pacers in Indiana.
Last year, the star had the amazing opportunity to perform in the Super Bowl halftime show alongside Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and Eminem. Lately, they’ve been making a name for themselves by promoting different brands and even starting their own YouTube channel dedicated to creating music for kids.
