Snoop Dogg is about to perform on one of the biggest stages of his career on Sunday (February 8) as he, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige are set to perform at the Super Bowl LVI Pepsi Half Time Show. For Snoop, the opportunity is still surreal, as he explains it still hasn’t hit him that he will be performing at the big game. 

“I’m not going to understand it until it happens,” he told ABC. “While it’s happening, I’m in the zone. I’m stuck to the script, laser-focused, being on point, sounding good, looking good, and feeling good. I want to give off a great presentation. After the fact, it’s when I’ll be nervous about watching it to see what the reaction is. But while I’m going through it, it’s nothing.”

Snoop Dogg calls performing at the Super Bowl in his home state a “dream come true.” He said he’s looking forward to sharing the stage with music legends who are his friends.

“We’re all one. We’re all united together,” said the 50-year-old rapper, who said he might perform his 1994 classic “Gin and Juice” but hasn’t made a final decision yet. “If you really look at it, that’s what the world needs to understand that we need to come together as opposed to division or separation.”

“I’m still thinking I’m in a dream because I can’t believe that they will let a real hip-hop artist grace the stage in an NFL Super Bowl,” he said. “We’re just going to wait for that moment and put something together that’s spectacular, and do what we’re known for doing and add on to the legacy.”
