Snoop’s children get private soccer lessons from David Beckham

December 10th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanE

We already knew that David Beckham and Snoop Dogg had formed one of Beckham’s seemingly endless unlikely friendships. This bond actually happens to make sense, though. Both are overrated performers well past their primes — in fact, Snoop’s officially smoked himself “retarded”; it’s science! — and both have never been less relevant. Sort of makes sense, right?

Anyway, this isn’t just a business partnership. Apparently, Snoop’s kids are getting the professional treatment too:

The former England captain spent several hours with the rapper and his sons Cordé, 13, and Cordell, ten, and daughter Cori, eight, at their Los Angeles home, teaching them free kicks and dribbling tricks.

Beckham, now playing for LA Galaxy, is a huge hip-hop fan, and Snoop is popular with many Premiership football stars, such as Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney.

A spokesman for Snoop said: “Their father loves talking about celebrities he knows, so Snoop’s brood called his bluff when he claimed to know David and insisted on meeting him before they practised soccer.Snoop was really pleased to work with David, as he is a massive football fan. The children loved meeting their hero.’

In exchange for the lesson, Snoop took Beckham to his favourite restaurant, Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘n’ Waffles.

I’ve always wondered what it’s like to be a celebrity’s child. It’s not something I think I’d want to deal with; when you’re famous simply because you’re someone’s spawn, you’re not really getting a fair shake at life. But being Snoop’s child? That, apparently, is a whole ‘nother level … for better and, more often, for worse.
