Snoop Dogg calls it like he sees it, especially when he represents the Milwaukee Brewers.
On Saturday, his presence provided extra entertainment during his surprise appearance at American Family Field during the Milwaukee Brewers’ game against the Cincinnati Reds, which the Brewers won, 3-1. The rapper treated fans to the first pitch of the game dressed in all Brewers gear. He warmed up on the mound with his moves from the music video for “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” and Brewers first base coach Quintin Berry joined him. The rapper then threw a strike at Berry. While that earned a standing ovation, Snoop struck pure gold when he headed to the booth for the Bally Sports Wisconsin broadcast with Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder, where he commented on plays live at the game.

He also gave props to Brewers’ Christian Yelich. “Deuce-deuce, it’s deuce-deuce revolver was my problem solver, let’s go,” he rapped during one of Yelich’s at-bats. “Give him a single, he does like to mingle,” Snoop said as Brewer’s catcher Gary Sanchez reached first base in the bottom of the second. The Brewers posted an abridged version of his inning on their social media channels, but it was complete with Snoop making rhymes about players and rooting for the home team. Snoop Dogg’s appearance at the game preceded his show on Saturday night at Milwaukee’s Potawatomi Casino Hotel.
