As a Fan of 90s Hiphop. I'm very happy about this collab. I like that BTS don't choose their collabs in terms who's the hottest and most successful Artist at the moment, just to gain even more popularity and money. They are actually Fans of Snoop and it fits, especially Yoongi or Namjoon have deep HipHop roots. They even started as a HipHop group. So I'm excited.

[@jaetine9006]

Snoop is a hip hop legend. Legends can’t be described by relevancy… it makes no sense. Snoop is what you call an OG. tbh it’s disrespectful to question his relevancy when it’s not an issue that even pertains to him. Snoop doesn’t need anything. Not clout, not money, not exposure, not opportunity, not some need to prove himself, not awards… he’s got 19 studio albums not counting his collab albums. He doesn’t have the hype of a new artist cause he doesn’t need it, everyone already knows who he is. And people who actually listen to American rap and hip hop do know his recent music as well as his radio hits well into the 2000s. Also he’s 50yrs old and y’all compare him to hip hop artist on the come up who weren’t even alive years after he was already a rap success and who frankly likely will not have as long or successful of a career as him. It doesn’t make sense. Also I’m pretty sure BTS and HYBE aren’t gonna do a collab unless they feel they have something to gain from it. Anyways…. 😅 I don’t even rep for snoop like this, but some of these takes on this collab with BTS are just not based on reality or facts.

Snoop Dogg genuinely likes kpop (he called it his "guilty pleasure"). He's been on Show Me the Money, where he complimented Mino's skills, and he also made a song with Psy ("Hangover" -- G Dragon and CL are also in the video).

I do not believe that Will Smith’s actions were really about that joke. The whole history of him being emasculated by his wife and some bumping up against Chris in the past both played into it. The joke was in poor taste but pales in comparison to being physically assaulted by someone. And the latter is against the law.

Will could have handled it a million other ways that would save face and humiliate chris and make Will look like 'the man' protecting his wife than resort to violence on national tv. Now he's facing backlash and chris is selling out his stand up tour.

Exactly 🥶 will literally resigned from The Academy over this….. apparently they were going to suspend him for 10 years if not. That family is taking out their own internal problems on other people and although I loved Will, you’re absolutely right. There were soooo many other ways he could’ve handled that with dignity. Instead he made the WHOLE world talk about her insecurity and their messy family. He could’ve taken the mic and said wonderful things and made a fool of Chris but… he blew it

@@soul_asmr This. If he felt the need to march up there, he could've grabbed the mic and said something like, "Its not right or cool of you to make a joke about my wife's mild health condition of alopecia." It would've educated all those at home watching who maybe would've done some research and learned and grown empathy about it and also informed Chris, since its said he didn't even know)(not everyone knows every detail about every celeb!) she didn't have the style randomly(she's has very short cuts in the past too).I'm betting Chris would've immediately apologized and all would be right!

Chris could most probably not have known about her condition, just like ALOT of us. That being said, that joke MIGHT be a little insensitive but c'mon, it wasn't that bad at all man to have you get up and straight up respond with violence when you could've handled that waaayyy better by talking to him backstage about it instead of completely humiliating him. There's no justification for that imo. Hosts have made way more worse jokes and the celebrities have handled the too far gone ones with class most of the time. Kudos to Chris for keeping his composure. To respond to words with violence ain't something I'm willing to back, especially when the joke was THAT mild. Uncalled for by Will

[@thenamelessdragon]

dude, the joke wasnt that much different from a joke about any other illness. i.e if someone tried to joke about your loved one being lighter if they had to have their breasts removed to combat breast cancer. that joke was pretty dang insensitive and should have been called out. i agree that will smith could have done 100 things which were more worthy of the situation i.e using his words or even discussing it privately, but this is minor assault. will smith should get slapped on the wrist with a fine and maybe banned from acting for a year. perhaps even having his reward revoked.

[@iamsquishy]

I think the bts-snoop dog collab is great! In my opinion, the reason why bts isnt very big with the older generations is because bts and their more recent music (referring to the songs they promote with) have a disney channel vibe. I dont think the general 30 year olds and older audience are attracted to look up bts music if all that has been presented to them is very pop- family friendly songs. However that audience grew up with snoop dogg and the 90s hip hop scene, so I think this collab can make that audience interested in seeing what will come out from this collab. Or at least they may vibe with the song more if it does take a hip hop/ old bts route. I remember when psy and snoop dogg collab came out and everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) was looking forward to see an unexpected collab happen. We know that bts has a strong, powerful force when it comes to hip hip, and as long as the song showcases that talent then I think this collab could bring in more older fans. [Btw, I'm 25 and am surrounded by 30 year old or older people at work and I hear their music interests often (hip hop, r&b, rock are the most popular). So I hope they too like the song cause I love meeting older ARMYs :)]

“Sticks and stones will break your bones, but names will never hurt you.” Being insulted by comedians is normal at the Oscars. Turning the other cheek is supposed to be the mature thing to do. Beating someone up at a public event (or anywhere else) is considered immature and something guys trying to prove their masculinity do. At bars. While drunk. In the eyes of many Americans, Will Smith was doing this for himself and his own pride, not for his wife. His actions actually made her look worse. She is a grown up who does not need that kind of “protection”. He also ruined the Oscars for Quest-love and the group of winners who were announced right after that. Their special moment was all about him.

[@juannifer32]

Whoever came up with that lie about sticks and stones should be arrested. Some words can hurt worse than a slap! You know how many people are bullied with words? Many people bully with words because they know they can get away with it because since they didn't touch you you can't do anything. Words can sometimes have more impact than something physical.

[@imscenery]

Mostly with you on this one. I hate that 'sticks and stones' saying because it is often used as an excuse for bullying. But this was not bullying. Jada is a celebrity, not a regular person, with all of the benefits and drawbacks that come with it. Chris Rock did not really even make fun of her. He used a movie reference to point out that she was bald. She did not look hurt or upset. She looked like she thought it was a lame joke - which, to be fair, it was. This was not the first time that either one of them have been lightly roasted and it comes with the territory of being a famous actor. They are not anywhere close to being new to this situation or unaware of how it should be handled because they have both being doing this for decades. And this is not like the cases of random people constantly abusing them on the internet - so his response was way out of proportion. Also, they were in the front row at the Oscars. Go back and watch the opening monologue of EVERY Academy Awards for the past several decades and you will see that the nominees and people sitting in the front row are always roasted a little. Billy Crystal is famous for doing it in song form whenever he hosted. Then we have to consider the fact that Will Smith was not just representing himself. He was there as a nominee for a movie where he played a real person whose family was present at the ceremony. From the reactions afterward, I don't think any member of the Williams family were pleased and I cannot blame them. From now until forever, whenever that award or movie is brought up, no one is going to talk about the movie, the man who inspired it, the result of their hard work, or even other awards the movie might have received. It is always going to be, "Hey, wasn't that the year that Will Smith forgot that he was an adult, a professional, and on live TV and decided to act like a teenage thug?"

[@juannifer32]

@@imscenery One I saw Jada's face as well she looked shocked at the joke and then rolled her eyes the camera doesn't go back to her for us to see her expression after that. Two you don't really think he meant that joke as a compliment right? As you said comedians are roasting them to humiliate not to give compliments. GI Jane didn't shave her head for losing hair because she had an illness GI jane had a choice in the matter she shaved her head for a spot in the military that's not Jada's situation. We know Jada and Will knew they would be roasted and they probably prepared for it and I strongly believe they thought all the jokes would be about their entanglement. Other comedians that were at the Oscar's even made jokes about the entanglement Will and Jada laughed. Chris is the only one who brought up Jada's having no hair! Even if Chris didn't know about Jada having alopecia he knew how black women are ridiculed for their hair or lack there of. It's ironic that Chris did a whole documentary about black women's hair and then made a joke about Jada having no hair. Chris was very Insensitive and he knew better but just didn't care. Me personally I am against physical and verbal attacks so I think they both were wrong. Many people seem to downplay words as if words aren't powerful some words hurt worse than a slap. People need to learn even though you can say what you want to say you can't control how someone reacts to your words. People take advantage all the time of the fact that there are no consequences for what they say no matter how hurtful people are taught to ignore it or brush it off but when is enough enough? And calling Will a thug? So is Alec Baldwin and Shia LaBeouf thugs as well?

Knetz are absolutely delusional. The GI Jane joke isn’t even a low blow. He didn’t even make fun of her condition. She has alopecia, not cancer. Nowadays people are being way too sensitive

They’re not delusional. They know themselves that other white a busters have done worse on the and have not had this much a of big reaction.

The only ppl crying about this is white celebs who have mostly like done worse or are friends with abusers and won’t mind their damn business. Only a few were smart enough to say it was none of their business and not everything needs their opinion. Acting like will smith did the worst thing ever is very micro aggressive

@@maliamalis6389 This has nothing to do with white people lmao and you're making a "what about..." type of argument. We're talking about different cultures (American vs SKorean). The majority of Americans rightfully say Will Smith's actions were uncalled for. And yes, Knetz are delusional if they justify Will's actions. No one's acting like Will did the worst thing ever but what he did was wrong. Don't get me started with the "don't joke with someone's family" type of bs. The joke Chris made was aimed directly at Jada, not at Will about Jada. There's a big difference. Will was laughing at the light hearted joke; Jada was not. Two seconds later Will gets emotional. I'm not a professional but to me this looks like what an abusive relationship looks like. Lastly, your "mind your own business" mentality is what creates the bystander effect. When things are wrong, it's okay to point them out.

Before you judge the US too harshly: 1) A lot of people thought the Chris Rock joke was rude but in the US you don't get to slap someone. (Well, until Will Smith). Smith should have used his words to shut it down. It is painful when a loved one is mocked and worthy of a response, but not worth having the police involved. 2) Yesterday on Nakd Seoul you all commented on the appearance of Bang Si-hyuk as large headed and unattractive. Seams mean! Also, when BTS was a rookie band, didn't Koreans think RM was ugly, J-Hope had a horse face, and Jimin was fat? These were also VERY hurtful comments!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pastelpink5587]

Only Anna made a comment about Bang PD and she apologised right after. As Danny said in the video it all comes from the fact that Jada isn't liked in the US, because people know about her past "relationship" and in Korea they don't know almost anything about her. So they view Will Smith's actions as reasonable. But in the eyes of the West, Will seems like a coward, doing everything Jada asks, even though he should have left her a long time ago.

Chris did not know about Jada's condition with the hair loss. It was a joke about her haircut and GI Jane, a strong powerful woman who overcame the odds and kicked butt in a movie...was it even a bad joke?...not really...Will already had issues going on within him about the whole affair Jada was having with the younger man..and how Jada emasculated him on her show by saying the affair was Will's fault because he was a bad lover and couldn't love her the way she wanted. So Will, to save whatever little manhood he had left, tried to show that he was still the man, got up and slapped Chris. Jada's condition...non-life threatening a small sliver of her scalp where she had lost hair...she decided to shave her hair and said she likes it and doesn't care about what anyone says...still Chris did not know about it. Will has been known to makes jokes about bald guys...oh the hypocrisy. Jada is a narcissistic woman. Knetz are whack if they feel that slap was called for...Chis did what he was hired to do, be a comedian and was not in the least bit wrong. Maybe in Korea it is acceptable, hitting someone for whatever reason...but not the USA, it's against the law. Unfortunately, Chris didn't press charges...wish he did...but he still has time.

Will Smith’s behavior did not go over well in the US. I have been his fan for 25 years.. watching his all movies, tv shows & listening to his music. I’m very disappointed & angry with his behavior. You don’t resolve conflict with violence. His actions took away from all the other Oscar winners, the fact that the Oscars were hosted by three women & an all black staff was producing the show. He is only the 5th African American male to win an Oscar in its 90+ year history. So his Oscar win & the setting was important because a lot of effort has been put into having more diversity at the Oscars. He embarrassed himself & the African American community on national tv. We are already seen around the world as violent, aggressive & dangerous. His behavior played right into that stereotype for all the world to see. That is what I find the most disappointing. He tarnished his name, reputation and his moment to shine with this foolishness.

Will laughed before he saw her unamused and decided to act by rushing on stage and slapping a comedian for a quick joke - WORDS - that he didn’t like. Where’s the line of what is/isn’t acceptable? Who gets to decide that line? Will showed us the person he was, made it even worse because they asked him to leave and he refused, he then won the award (no apology to Chris is speech even though Chris could have had him arrested IN the awards show but chose not to), went out and partied all night, and then the next day made an apology of “I’m sorry, Chris, but…” which isn’t an apology. He resigned from academy because he knew he f’ed up and wanted to resign before they told him to leave. I’ve read that since Will violated code of conduct that they “could” take his award away…maybe that would be fair? That’s for the academy to decide. We have free speech in US and this is part of it - things are said that some people don’t like. But it’s all protected AND words said should never cause a physical response. Will was out of line. Period.

The GI Jane joke was nothing. Some might even consider it a compliment. If she's that sensitive about alopecia then she can wear wig, but she likes to draw attention to herself.

I hope people, esp. children, weren't traumatized.

Smith was out of control and deranged. He should have been escorted out of the building and subdued. Chris Rock was hired to do a job, and should sue Will Smith and the academy.

Also Snoop is relevant, whether he’s made music or not, he wouldn’t have been part of the halftime show if he wasn’t. The difference in American vs Koreans reaction on the Oscar Slap is I don’t think Koreans always understand Americans humor, I don’t think what Will Smith did was appropriate to do on national television, he could have done it during the commercial break, the joke wasn’t that horrible, but because of Jada’s reaction, Will then decided to react, why when his wife cheated on him with her son’s friend of all people, I wouldn’t have ruined my reputation over a stupid joke, I think Jada has made a fool out of her family with this talk show she has or had, not sure if it’s still on,never watched it, but she shared private things herself and her family that should have stayed private, now I had no clue about her problem, don’t watch the Oscars only saw what happened because it was all over the news, but even finding out after words, it still wasn’t that horrible of a joke, even Will made the comment that in Hollywood you need to have thick skin and be able to take a joke, it has been done for years on all the award shows involving acting, People Choice awards had Ricky Gervais on who went WAY over the line with a joke he made and was band from hosting the show for awhile, no one is safe, when a comedian host an award show. I applaud Chris for keeping his cool, he so wanted to say something, but kept his cool, not a big fan of Chris Rock either, but violence is never the answer, and I believe they are taking the Oscar away from Will Smith now, will be interesting to see if Will’s career will end up in danger.

But most do think that chris was worse than Will in this scenario, so they are confused why Chris didn't say sorry. They think Will being banned makes sense because of his poor reaction. But also think that, Will got his due, but Chris is just being praised for his professionalism. Chris was professional work-wise, Koreans also see that. But to Korean people, his actions before that don't just disappear.

I agree with Ricky Gervais - if the joke was for Jada, it should have been directed towards her "entanglement" with her son's best friend; what a field day with his first name being a month of the year - so many possibilities! Jada had Will come onto her Red Table show and further publicly humiliated him by making him admit it was his fault she wasn't satisfied for her having the affair OR continuing to be in the marriage. Talk about a crime, her gaslighting her husband probably contributed to his blowing up in public; but that's been discussed in several of the many reactions.

I also agree that if the joke was for her that it should have been directed to her but definitely NOT about the “entanglement “ that probably would have gotten him smacked as well. But about the whole red table talk thing… did you actually watch it because nothing of what you said is what actually happen. They decided (as a unit) to do the red table talk after August drop the bomb about his and Jada’s relationship. Will and Jada stated at the time that they were separated and Will okay the “entanglement”, and they also later shared they have an open marriage. They also talked about how Will had his own entanglement as well. How did she humiliated him if he already knew about August? How was she gaslighting him or the contributing factor of his blow up? The real contributing factor to his blowing up is people continuously painting this false narrative that Jada is a villain and that she’s a cheater when that not the case. With the Chris Rock situation Will shouldn’t have smacked him but Chris went off script to make a joke about Jada’s hair without knowing why she cut her hair and also understanding how black woman are very sensitive about their hair. This also is not the first time he made a tasteless joke about Jada at the Oscars.

[@namjoonie936]

the smith family are weird im not shocked he smacked someone

[@kimleemoon]

Will’s behavior was classless. He acted like common street trash

[@grapefanta5975]

I want to agree with you, but I’m not sure if he got his point across. If anything, the slap just distracted people from the message

[@AmbiCahira]

As for Chris and Will I think what rubbed people the wrong way is that at formal events there's social etiquette on how to conduct yourself and Chris never broke those rules but Will did. I do not like that comedians aren't held to a formal level of jokes though. I just don't see why it should be okay to joke at people's expense when everybody should be in a celebration mood. I think they shouldn't joke about the guests appearance, religion, sexuality, family, illnesses, and probably not scandals either. Chris had in the past made fun of Jada by joking about Beyoncés panties as well and I just wish the joke level was kept to a higher standard. I wish they could save those type of jokes to their own shows but straighten up their act some more for the formal stuff.

[@sotto-maior2820]

Apparently Will Smith was aways aware about Jada’s “entanglement” and according to August, they had Will’s blessing. Will and Jada were in a bad moment in their relationship, and though they were still married, their marriage was kinda open

[@rachel-dc4ti]

and you can see him laugh about it on an interview on her show too

[@zeyv4551]

Do you really believe he was okay with it? Was he sleeping around too? LOL.

[@zeyv4551]

[@lillyess385]

He obviously wasn't ok with it because he's acting out.

[@HadassaMoon144]

Jada herself refutted that Will gave that boy permission. She said that in her red table top show. The boy was the one who spread that for clout.

[@sevenhundred77]

Chris Rock didn’t directly make a joke about alopecia. Just because someone said something publicly, doesn’t mean he knows it for sure anyway. Jada was mildly upset, the videos showed her looking annoyed (the reaction was not super extreme). She might have stood up for herself or asked Will to deal with it. Could she not have stood up for herself? Will, just looking at her annoyed face, went up on live television being aired to millions of people, and slapped Chris. Can he not use words? They couldn’t have talked about it privately after? Or even yell up at the stage if SO aggravated? Physically hitting someone so publicly and then justifying it is gross and immature. Even if he was going to hit him, that the right area and time? It just shows the rashness and whim of his action. But does anyone need a man to stand up for them by hitting someone? Not anyone I know. Not me either.

[@maliamalis6389]

People (mostly white ppl) have too many opinions about this and attacking will smith way more and we all know why then everyone other actor who are actual abusers. If Chris rock took in stride and has said multiple times he doesn’t want to call any authorities For it or hold it against will. It wasn’t that serious he didn’t die he should ant have made a joke so many comedians are problematic because they see everything as a joke even a disease death etc

[@bluetack7006]

I don't think that BTS and Snoop Dogg is random. If you have been following BTS from their early debut and their American Hustle Life you know that BTS early actually also rooted from American Hiphop scene, with the other main influence would be Seotaiji. Snoop Dogg is actually one of many legends that BTS been praising so it's not really surprising that among a lot of artists they choose to collab with Snoop. He's also a vibe, which is what I think BTS aimed for lately. To create music that vibes. Newer fans might think that it's a random combination, well it is, IF we only considered BTS' music style and Snoop's musical activity these past few years. But if we think about how they used to be? It's not that random. Also, I am actually anticipating this collab because I've been waiting for them to make music in their old style. Heavy in hiphop and not just bouncy feel good disneyish music. Which is what I hope this comeback would be. Though, if they made happy music, it'll be fun too. And please, why do we even talk about relevancy here??? You don't doubt a legend's relevancy. Compared with recent rappers that rely in autotune and mumble rap, Snoop Dogg is MUCH more relevant.

[@JackInTheBox0294]

Right

[@shannonneil8327]

Get well David. Awesome show as usual guys. 👏 you are were awesome Danny. Always excited about every episode

[@Animation27]

Relevancy is not needed when discussing Snoop. The man is a living legend. That’s like discussing whether Paul McCartney’s music is still “relevant” - it doesn’t matter, the man is freaking Paul McCartney! Snoop Dog is always relevant cuz he’s freaking Snoop Dog!

[@davidmun1601]

I am gong to have to push back on the hosts on the Will Smith-Chris Rock debacle. I do understand this need to protect their family, but Jada Smith is not just a wife but a public figure as well. What Chris Rock did, which he has been doing for some time now, was crack a joke about a public figure. Will Smith, for whatever reason, decided to lash out. That comment was not even that mean-spirited. Knowing what we know now about Jada Smith's condition, I can understand why she did not like that comment, but I did not know about it and from what I have read, neither did Chris Rock.

[@mikrokosmos136]

Knowing the love Tannies has for music and fans, they do what they want. I believe this is another genre of tannies want to do with their fav artist (like Jin was the one who proposed the collab idea with Coldplay) and also they want to reach a wider audience just like how they do with all other songs. And all I noticed they keep growing and growing the fanbase 🕺

[@MidnightWingFox]

Aight, I'm a millennial who grew up with Snoop Dog. He did have some fun stuff with artists left and right throughout the 2000's [collabs with 50 cent, Luda, etc] There's a joke about Snoop [if you're a video game nerd]: Snoop is the real life player who finished the game [life] and is now just doing side quests. he's level 100 doing level 15 side quests. He literally has always been doing weird and crazy random stuff since as long as I can remember. But I think it's not like a "fun project" but someone who is spending time getting cultured anywhere and everywhere he wants to and can... cooking with Martha Stewart is something no other rappers really do regularly and still hold their street cred. lmfao! But he does that shit. I love to see celebrities like him, that are so widely respected and who have high street cred, go out and do what other artists would think is wild and never something they would do. He's pretty much an icon/legend in the US.. I would appreciate seeing other artists inviting more Kpop openly, too. Honestly, I'm digging that Kpop has been becoming more popular in the US and I actually hope someone like Snoop [as all the other western artists keep doing] shows that it's fine to like Kpop... as I feel it still is deemed "weird" by a large number of people in the US. ....I'll be honest, I am kinda high typing all this, myself.....

Did Danny just say that Will Smith won a Grammy for Best Actor? How did the editors miss this :D

[@inthearmynow8125]

I too wondered if Danny's script isn't proof-read. At around 2:30 he said Will Smith won the "GRAMMY"....... Danny, u gotta do your research, or editing, better

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

I don't think it's such a mystery how such a mistake gets made. Both are the pinnacle awards in their fields, they were held days apart from each other, and so much news we are talking about is from these two shows. Oops! It happens. Yes, editing might have caught that, but just as Spell Check doesn't flag real words used incorrectly, it was probably something that didn't catch at the ears of the editor. Oops. I'm pretty sure I'm guilty of accidentally mixing up which show/award I'm talking about, and I KNOW I don't always catch what auto correct does to me.

[@Catherine______]

Families are usually off limits…unless when the people in your family are also celebrities in their own right, when you’re a public figure, you’re fair game like every other celebrity. Will, Jada, Willow and Jaden are all fair game for comedians, they’re all multi-millionaire celebrities in their own right, with their own successful careers. Comedians will always roast the font row at award shows, it’s Hollywood tradition. The joke was tame. There were jokes on Will and Jada’s marriage/sex life by Regina Hall and Laverne Cox that evening that were wayyyyy more offensive than Chris’ joke. You fake laugh, and move on swiftly, don’t show you’re offended or make a fuss or the comedians will come for you even harder next time.

[@oliveb.]

That's what I don't get. Everyone KNOWS this is what happens at these award shows. That's what comedians do and yes if you are in the front rows, you should buckle up. Matter of fact, there have been way harsher jokes told at other award shows (remember Ricky Gervais) so it makes what he did way more mind boggling for me. Also, I wonder if someone like Ricky Gervais had made that joke would he have done the same thing🤔

[@davidmun1601]

I agree. Also, it's not like Chris Rock called her names. If Will Smith had issues, he should have gone to Chris Rock afterwards and told him to lay off his wife's hair.

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

@@oliveb. has anyone seen a response/ reaction to the slap from Ricky Gervais?

Were you raised in a barn? Shouting in a gala? How about addressing the issue in a civilised way like talking to Chris in private or addressing it when you're on stage.

[@flocontour9682]

As a professional entertainer attending the Oscars means accepting the possibility one could be the subject of a joke, be it positive or negative. It is part of the 'show.' Jada Pinkett Smith portrays herself as an 'enlightened and empowered' woman. As such, she should have taken care of this situation herself. Imagine had she stood up, faced the audience and declared - GI Jane rocks!! In doing so she would have taken control of the situation and gained a positive platform from which to speak about her issue. Certainly one's significant other should 'have one's back' and support them. But, the response to an verbal insult should never be physical violence.

[@Super_Chamchi]

Why not Nas? RM looks up to Nas. I don’t care about Snoop back in the day and I still don’t. He can’t live without his weed. I hope BTS don’t meet him.; I can’t even breathe with that smell. Do people not know Chris is a comedian? It’s expected at the Oscar. Will was actually laughing until he saw his wife’s face. We all know his wife controls him like a puppet except KNETZ.

[@nyjhac.1168]

Nas isn't the only rapper he looks up to but has also mentioned snoop in one of his songs. What you may not like maybe ok with them and or tolerable just so they can meet and work with him. For all we know they already smoking, we don't know them personally. Let them work with, idolize, meet whomever they choose as long as it makes them happy

[@camididit5139]

Bro snoop sneaked a blunt into the White House I don’t think we can stop him. And I think people are misinterpreting his excitement. I think he always talks like that it’s just swag. The fact that he rarely puts out music but announced the bts thing before bts must means he’s excited about what’s to come

I think sd and bts collab will be good, really meaningful, with a deep message, like rm x wale collab. Maybe not the most "noisy" one, but a song we will love and respect. If not, I hope it has a really high production, at least. But who knows, maybe it becomes a hit 🤣👍

@@zeyv4551 True, but my confusion is more on why he decided to slap Chris Rock in front of his colleagues at an award show and millions of people watching instead of handling it afterwards. Plus I would be more angry and upset about people bringing up the whole entanglement issue than making a joke about Jada’s shaved head. Maybe it was a sensitive issue bc of her condition but I am curious if others made a comment about her hair before and got the same reaction from Will?

[@anaisc8733]

I think a lot of collabs are coming with BTS, we also saw Ariana producer and BTS producer together a few hours after the Snoop Dogg collab news, so I think they are doing this collab because they are fans and admire Snoop, and that they are going to do a collab with Ariana like you said because she is a relevant star in the US. Then as for Will's slap, I think whatever past actions his wife has taken is between him and her, but publicly shaming a black woman without anyone yet talking about her and what she felt shows a real problem, without forgetting all these celebrities and especially white women who are making it about them when it is not relevant.

[@beany1944]

Why do you bring race in, blaming whites for Will Smith's juvenile behaviour especially white women, you seem to revert to the victim mentality. You have a inferiority complex. If all else fails blame the white person. Racist racist racist.

Snoop Dogg is well known to collab with anyone and everyone. He hates staying in a hip-hop bubble like most artists do and he loves working with all kinds of artists. he does all kinds of things. i mean he even streams and has a freaking cook-book. this collab is not surprising at all and i can't wait to see it. i quit listening to BTS in recent years and maybe Snoop will help them get back to their hip-hop roots as well.

[@micpie9480]

Remember when Will Smith’s wife said that she doesn’t care what anybody think about her hair? But that’s beside the point. I think it’s pathetic that Will Smith, a f*cking grown a*s man, had to step up for his wife (in the worst possible way may I add) over a joke. It may shock some of you but it’s never ok to slap someone even when you are famous. Also why didn’t she step up and do it herself? Both of them were extremely pathetic that day and props for Chris Rock for handling their childish behavior professionally like an adult should when dealing with childish behavior. And if anybody wandering, no I don’t hate Will Smith. I think he is a pretty good actor but that doesn’t excuse what he did. Also I’m not a Chris Rock fan. I didn’t even knew he existed before the incident. I’m just telling my opinion on the matter. At least some of the memes are funny.

[@SonoNariFiorewithGrace]

I feel like a lot of artists want to collab with bts, snoop dogg does do a lot of random collabs from time to time
