Snoop Dogg made an unusual appearance at Swansea.com Stadium ahead of the Championship match between Swansea City and Preston North End.<\/p>\n
The rapper was attending his first Swans game since taking a minority stake in the Championship club over the summer, and played his part in trying to energize the crowd ahead of kick-off.<\/p>\n
Snoop, who made an impressive arrival earlier in the day, was presented with a Jack Army gift and each supporter was given a commemorative Snoop Dogg branded towel and encouraged to wave it over their heads before the match against Preston.<\/p>\n
Fans were quick to respond, and Snoop Dogg made his appearance with a fireworks display, followed by a blanket of white.<\/p>\n

He was greeted with a rendition of “Hymns and Arias,” along with traditional sing-alongs of “You Jack ******” and “Snoop Dogg’s Barmy Army,” and the audience seemed to be enjoying the moment just as much as he was.<\/p>\n
At one point, Swansea’s stand-in goalkeeper Andy Fisher even had to pause his warm-up to allow Snoop Dogg and his large entourage to move around the pitch.<\/p>\n
