Swansea<\/a> co-owner Snoop Dogg proved to have the magic touch after correctly predicting that Liam Cullen<\/a> would score during his first visit to the Welsh club.<\/a><\/p>\n The 54-year-old American rapper, who owns a minority stake in the Championship club along with U.S. television host Martha Stewart and Croatia<\/a> international Luka Modric<\/a>, was at the Swansea.com Stadium for Tuesday’s clash with Preston to see Cullen snatch a 1-1 draw with a stoppage-time equaliser.<\/p>\n Footage posted by the Swans on their official X account on Wednesday shows the musician rubbing Cullen’s No. 20 shirt in the dressing room before the game and saying, “He’s going to get a goal Tuesday,” and then him telling the player the tale after the game.<\/p>\n Snoop Dogg, who had earlier posed with a personalised No. 20 shirt he had pressed himself, says: “I walked out of here, I saw your number — because that’s the number I wear, 2-0 — and I rubbed your jersey and I said, ‘You’re gonna score’.”<\/p>\n The rapper joined the Swansea ownership group last July and made his way to south-west Wales after his spell at the Winter Olympics in Italy, where he served as Team USA’s honorary coach as well as a special correspondent for broadcaster NBC.<\/p>\n Earlier in the day, he had requested a sold-out crowd to be in their seats ahead of kick-off to twirl complimentary towels — a common action for supporters in American sport — as he walked onto the pitch before kick-off.<\/p>\n Preston were leading 1-0 through Daniel Jebbison’s first-half strike when Cullen, who asked Snoop Dogg to sign his shirt, levelled with a header in the fifth minute of added time at the end of the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Snoop Dogg attended a Swansea game for the first time since becoming a co-owner.\u00a0Photo by Dan Mullan\/Getty Images.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-504194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Liam Cullen celebrates scoring Swansea’s equaliser.\u00a0Photo by Jacob King\/PA Images via Getty Images.<\/p>\n
