Snoop added: “When I watched the Wrexham game, where we showed we are the capital of Welsh football, the noise in the stadium sounded incredible even from over 5,000 miles away. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
Tom Gorringe, chief executive of Swansea City, said Snoop had been at the training ground on Monday and he and his group were “really excited” about being here.
“It’s not just a gimmick, he buys into what the club means and what it means to the wider city,” he told BBC Wales.
He said there had been a huge amount of commercial interest.
“We’re operating at a level we haven’t done probably ever before, even in the Premier League days, in terms of our commercial swing and the brands we’re speaking to.”
The rapper hit headlines at the Winter Olympics, where he was an honorary coach for Team USA as well as a special correspondent for broadcaster NBC, when he asked British curlers Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds for a photo.
Snoop Dogg, known for hits like Gin and Juice, has had a successful three-decade music career, having topped the UK charts and received 16 Grammy nominations.
