Fans: Snoop Dogg, 51, is a fan of Game of Thrones and Emilia Clarke, 36, is a fan of Snoop Dogg

Backstage: The Drop It Like Its Hot rapper and Daenerys Targaryen met up backstage after his recent concert at London’s O2 Arena

Praise: Snoop told her, ‘You’re an amazing actress, beautiful spirit. You’re so believable. I would protect your eggs any day’

During the show, Snoop Dogg celebrated 25 years of hip hop and was joined on stage by artists he has collaborated with over the years. 

And Clarke wasn’t the only celeb Snoop hung out with after his concert.

Backstage was a star-studded location following his show with David Beckham, 47, and his sons Roman, 20, and Cruz, 18, also visiting the Gin and Juice rapper. 

It turns out Beckham and Snoop’s friendship goes back three decades.

Speaking to MailOnline at the Berlin launch of his new collaboration with online crypto casino Roobet, he said: ‘We’ve been friends since the early nineties. We love the same things. We love to win. We love to work hard. We’re family men, and people love us.

‘We’re naturally attracted to each other. We built the friendship years and years ago. He created a family, and I created a family.’

Their friendship is so close that in 2007 Snoop even welcomed Beckham – at the time a new signing for Los Angeles Galaxy – as a special guest on his former reality show Father Hood, during which the unlikely pair unsuccessfully attempted to introduce soccer to the rapper’s children.

And he admits the episode was a reminder of how far reaching their friendship is after the former sportsman – himself a father-of-four – included sons Romeo, 20, and Cruz, 18, in their backstage reunion on Tuesday evening.

Gushing: Later, Clarke  shared a photo and video on her Instagram and captioned it, ‘SNOOP. DOGGY. DOGG. The man, the myth, the legend. When he calls, you (I) come running.#my16yearoldselfishavingalifealteringmomenthere #soismy36yearoldself’

More fans: Snoop also met up with his old friend David Beckham and his sons Roman and Cruz

‘When I had my show Father Hood on the E! Channel he came on and did some things with my kids about his football,’ he recalled.

‘His babies were real little babies then, but when he come to see me the other day he brings his babies with him and they’re grown now.

‘We’ve just grown as a friendship, as a brotherhood and as a family.’

The reunion gave Snoop an opportunity to offer Cruz, an aspiring singer and musician who turned 18 on February 20, a belated birthday gift – and some equally valuable tips on how to succeed in the music industry.

‘I gave him some real good advice,’ he explained. ‘Then I gave him a Death Row chain and told him to own it.’

The rapper is dad to Cordé, 28, Cordell, 26, and Cori, 23, from his 25-year marriage to Shante Broadus, and Julian, 25 from a former relationship with Laurie Holmond.

But becoming a grandfather proved to be the defining point in his life and the start of a less reckless chapter after his eldest child welcomed son Zion with girlfriend Jessica Kyzer in 2015.

‘Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways,’ he said. ‘The main way is being concerned with how I live, how I move, the kind of people I’m associated with, because I want to see my grandkids grow old.

‘The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps as far as how I move, who I hang out with, where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking.’

‘Am I doing extra-curricular or am I just doing what I’m supposed to be doing?’
