Snoop Dogg Once Turned Down $2 Million Offer To DJ At A Michael Jordan Event

It looks like Snoop Dogg missed his opportunity to meet NBA legend Michael Jordan!

Snoop Dogg explained,

“One of the craziest deals I turned down was $2 million to DJ for a Michael Jordan event, and I turned it down. And I’ve never met Michael Jordan, and I wanna meet him…. ‘Cause I was doing some other sh*t, I had sh*t to do and I had way more customers before I get to you [laughs]. Nah, but I never met Michael Jordan, and I wanna meet him, and I wanna meet him on a different – I don’t wanna meet him on no DJing. I wanna meet him as a fan, as a boss.”

He continued,

“It’s like, ‘Mike, I’ve loved you since North Carolina, I’m a big fan of yours, I love what you do, you one of the greatest to ever do it. Give me a couple of secrets on how you did this. Can I get a picture with you? You wanna smoke a blunt? Hey man, it’s been real.'”

Snoop Dogg then explained why he respects Michael Jordan so much, noting that he’s been a fan ever since Jordan was playing college basketball in North Carolina.

“How couldn’t I [look up to him a lot]? I’m a Black man. I watched him at North Carolina as a freshman do his thing and beat Georgetown. I was a Georgetown fan back then, Dawg Pound, Georgetown Hoyas. So I had to fall in love with him ’cause he hit my team. Then the next year, I saw him win the Player of the Year, then I saw him do his thing with the [Chicago] Bulls and he hit 63 on [Larry] Bird and broke his ankle. I’m like, ‘This muthaf****a’s different!’ Then his first Championship came through us – he had to beat the Lakers.”

Snoop continued,

“So think about what I just told you: he hit the Georgetown Hoyas which was my team, he hit the Lakers which was my team, so it’s respect. You earn respect through competition I think, and you can honor that. As far as if you box somebody, you may talk sh*t about them then once y’all finish boxing, you like, ‘This muthaf**a can really fight.’ Y’all end up hugging and shaking [hands], you be like, ‘You know what? You a bad muthaf**a, I respect you, dawg.'”
