00:00All right, we are at the 2025 BET Awards.
00:03You're playing Mr. Snoop Dogg.
00:05I thought you were Snoop when you walked up.
00:08Right.
00:09I got the braids on.
00:10I'm not in costume anymore.
00:10But I see it all over the face.
00:12So when you got that role, what was that feeling like?
00:15It was crazy.
00:16I was auditioning for that role for months.
00:18Yeah.
00:18It was a stinger process.
00:21Dogg wanted to put me through my paces and make sure that I was the right person for this.
00:24I was relieved.
00:25I was excited.
00:27Just ready to go.
00:27Did you get to work with Snoop directly?
00:31Not for the first audition, but once he met me, he just kind of took me under his wing
00:36and just kind of spent some time with him so I could get a better idea of who he was as a person
00:41so I could play him as well as I could.
00:44It was just a great process.
00:46We're going to keep working on it.
00:47Yeah, and he's being honored tonight.
00:48What's your favorite Snoop song?
00:50My favorite is G's Up, O's Down.
00:52Ooh!
00:53But that's a deep cut.
00:54So other than that, I'm going to just say G-Thang.
00:56Keep it classic.
00:57G-Thang.
00:57All right.
00:58Thank you so much.
00:58Have so much fun in there.
00:59We can't wait to see it.
01:02You
