Snoop Dogg won hearts in the summer of 2024 as NBC’s Olympic ambassador, but when it comes to football, he has his eye on exactly one team: the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he doesn’t want anyone to distract him from advocating for them.

During Sunday Night Football on Oct. 6, the 52-year-old “Gin and Juice” star opened up Today that his passion for the Steelers would keep him from the upcoming Steelers vs. Watch Chiefs games with fans of the opposing team. That rule would extend to even megastar and famed Chiefs supporter Taylor Swift, who is credited with raising the NFL’s profile because of her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

While there’s no “Bad Blood” between the rapper and the 34-year-old pop star, Snoop says he simply doesn’t want Chiefs fans around him when he watches the game. “That’s not happening,” he said simply when asked if he would invite Swift to watch with him. “When it comes to a Steelers game, it’s us or no one. We don’t side with anyone else.” Snoop has spoken positively about Swift in the past, and the Death Row Records owner said he was considering re-recording his albums as Swift did on the Send full podcast. He even agreed that some of her songs were “classic bangers,” so attending sporting events together in the future doesn’t seem to be completely off the table.

The DO Double G explained that despite being a California native, he had always been a Steelers fan. “Well, in the ’70s you had to understand that there were only so many teams that really dominated, and the Steelers were one of those teams that represented what I felt like,” he said. The “Drop it Like it’s Hot” singer seemed to have a great time in the stadium during Sunday’s game, even leading fans in the Steelers’ traditional “Terrible Towel Twirl.”
