Famous rapper now co-owns Welsh football club
The 53-year-old artist had previously hinted at his involvement by helping to promote the Welsh club's new shirt launch.
Snoop Dogg expressed his enthusiasm for the club, citing its proud, working-class history and underdog spirit, and pledged to help the club.
Swansea City anticipates that Snoop Dogg's global profile and love of football will significantly boost the club's commercial performance and reach.
This investment follows a similar move three months prior by Croatian football star Luka Modrić, who also acquired a minority stake in the club.

It's cute & looks like a teddy – but there's another reason people think a fluffy crossbreed is the ‘perfect' dog
PAW-FECT Scroll down to find out Britains favourite dog breeds A FLUFFY little furball is sending TikTok into meltdown and fans reckon it could be the most paw-fect pup ever. Known online as Honey, this adorable teddy-bear lookalike is melting hearts across social media with his big brown eyes and soft golden coat. 2 2 But there's more to this pup than just cuteness. She doesn't shed at all, making her an absolute dream for allergy sufferers and clean freaks alike. Honey is a Pomapoo, a cross between a Pomeranian and a Poodle, and she's got nearly 30,000 fans swooning over her cuddly good looks. With her tiny size and teddy-like fluff, it's no wonder the internet has fallen in love. One TikTok user gushed: 'So cute!' Another dubbed her: 'the most perfect dog.' Others chimed in with 'Looks like a teddy bear' and 'She's unreal.' Pomapoos are what's known as a "designer dog".\ They're a mix of two breeds, combining the smarts and low-shedding coat of a Poodle with the playful, outgoing personality of a Pomeranian. The result is a clever, affectionate little companion who loves cuddles as much as a game of fetch. Padraig Harrington's dog plays hilariously cute role in Irish golfer's US Senior Open celebrations Standing just eight to 12 inches tall, Pomapoos are perfect for flats or houses alike. But don't be fooled by their tiny size, they've got big personalities and love being the centre of attention. Honey's owner shared her adorable antics on TikTok, showing her prancing around like she owns the place. But while this mix is winning fans left and right, not everyone in the dog world is sold on the poodle cross trend. One dog groomer has warned that these 'doodles' – crosses like Goldendoodles, Bernedoodles and yes, Pomapoos – can be a bit of a nightmare if not properly cared for. Emma Badgley, a professional groomer, says many owners underestimate just how high-maintenance these breeds can be. 'Doodle owners are often clueless about the grooming needs,' she moaned in a post on Quora. 'Some of the most matted dogs I've ever seen have been doodles – and trying to groom them when they're knotted and wriggly is seriously stressful.' She added that big poodle mixes like Goldendoodles and Saint Berdoodles can be especially tough, because they've got the energy of a toddler and coats that demand constant brushing. Even smaller breeds like Pomapoos aren't completely fuss-free. If they inherit the Poodle's curls, they'll need regular grooming to stop their hair turning into a tangled mess. Britain's favourite dog breeds HERE are the top ten dog breeds in the UK.... Labrador Retriever Renowned for their friendly and outgoing nature. Popular as both family pets and working dogs. French Bulldog Known for their distinctive bat-like ears and affectionate temperament. Ideal for city living due to their small size. Cocker Spaniel Beloved for their playful and loyal disposition. Excellent companions for active families. Pug Recognised for their charming wrinkled faces and sociable nature. Adaptable to various living environments. Staffordshire Bull Terrier Valued for their courageous and loving character. Strong and muscular build, yet gentle with children. Dachshund Adored for their distinctive long bodies and lively personality. Comes in a variety of coat types: smooth, wire, and long-haired. Border Collie Celebrated for their intelligence and energy. Excellent working dogs, especially in herding. Golden Retriever Known for their friendly and tolerant attitude. Great family pets and skilled in various service roles. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Cherished for their gentle and affectionate nature. Small size makes them perfect for lap dogs. German Shepherd Admired for their loyalty and versatility. Commonly used in police and military roles due to their trainability. And that's not all, some popular breeds like Huskies, German Shepherds and Newfoundlands were called out for being 'anxious' and 'a lot of work' by the same groomer. So, while Honey might look like a living teddy bear, there's a bit of effort behind the fluff. Still, if you're ready to commit to grooming and want a cute, clever, and snuggly sidekick, a Pomapoo could just be your perfect match.
