‘I’ll do American Idol’: Snoop Lion

KARACHI: American rapper Snoop Lion wants to be a judge on the ‘American Idol.’

After hearing of the millions of dollars the judges earn on the television competition, the
rapper said he is interested in joining the panel.

“I’ll do ‘American Idol’,” he said during an interview.

When he was told that Mariah Carey is earning about $18 million a year for a one-year contract with a renewal option, he looked to his manager and lightheartedly screamed, “Get on it!”

The music icon is reputed for often swearing and generally using offensive language.

However, he said he would be alert of his tone if he appeared on the family friendly
entertainment programme.

The 40-year-old rapper has announced earlier this week that he’s using the name Snoop Lion
for an upcoming reggae album instead of Snoop Dogg.

He now considers himself a Rastafarian after what he calls a life-changing trip to Jamaica,
and is also releasing a documentary about his rebirth.

Singer Mariah Carey is to judge in ‘American Idol’; one of the two seats made available
following Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler’s exits last month.
