Snoop Dogg has more than 100 million social media followers

Rapper Snoop Dogg says he wants to play his part in making Swansea City become a "global name".

The 54-year-old became a co-owner and investor at Swansea after taking a minority stake in the Championship club last July.

The American star says he "always wanted to invest in a soccer team" – and that he wants to help Swansea generate income to aid their bid to return to the Premier League.

"I want to be real hands on, I want to take the club in a direction maybe it hasn't been before," he told Wales Online.
