All right, we are at the 2025 BET Awards.
00:03
You're playing Mr. Snoop Dogg.
00:05
I thought you were Snoop when you walked up.
00:08
Right.
00:09
I got the braids on.
00:10
I'm not in costume anymore.
00:10
But I see it all over the face.
00:12
So when you got that role, what was that feeling like?
00:15
It was crazy.
00:16
I was auditioning for that role for months.
00:18
Yeah.
00:18
It was a stinger process.
00:21
Dogg wanted to put me through my paces and make sure that I was the right person for this.
00:24
I was relieved.
00:25
I was excited.
00:27
Just ready to go.
00:27
Did you get to work with Snoop directly?
00:31
Not for the first audition, but once he met me, he just kind of took me under his wing
00:36
and just kind of spent some time with him so I could get a better idea of who he was as a person
00:41
so I could play him as well as I could.
00:44
It was just a great process.
00:46
We're going to keep working on it.
00:47
Yeah, and he's being honored tonight.
00:48
What's your favorite Snoop song?
00:50
My favorite is G's Up, O's Down.
00:52
Ooh!
00:53
But that's a deep cut.
00:54
So other than that, I'm going to just say G-Thang.
00:56
Keep it classic.
00:57
G-Thang.
00:57
All right.
00:58
Thank you so much.
00:58
Have so much fun in there.
00:59
We can't wait to see it.
