Snoop Dogg recently spoke with Vibe in a video shared on Wednesday (Nov. 13), where he reflected on his positive first encounter with rapper Sexyy Red, known for her hit "Get It Sexyy." Snoop recalled telling her, “You got star power. I love you,” to which she responded, “Unc, you real as a motherf—er.” Snoop, impressed by her energy, responded, “Yeah, I f— with you, cuz,” and the two bonded over their shared vibe.

This exchange came on the same day Sexyy posted a video of herself dancing at an outdoor party with Snoop, where they were both singing along to her 2023 single "SkeeYee," while Snoop enjoyed a cigar. In the clip, Sexyy enthusiastically captioned the video, “I’m wit snoop yal!!”

Snoop emphasized that he enjoys spending time with younger rappers, passing on wisdom and offering encouragement. He shared with Vibe, “One thing about me, I’m from the old generation but I don’t hate on y’all. I may critique, but when I see y’all, I’m gonna give you love and I’m gonna tell you face-to-face, ‘You’re doing an amazing job, here’s some things you can do better.’” His mentorship approach is built on respect and genuine support for the younger generation of artists.

Despite identifying with the older generation, Snoop Dogg continues to make waves in the music industry. His collaboration with Dr. Dre and Jhené Aiko on the track “Gorgeous” debuted at No. 29 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart dated Nov. 16. This marks the first time in 13 years that Snoop and Dr. Dre have appeared together on this chart. The track is a lead-up to Snoop’s upcoming album Missionary, set for release on Dec. 13, his first LP since 2022's BODR.
