Snoop Dogg has a pretty relatable reason for refusing to wear skinny jeans-Asyia Iftikhar-Entertainment – Metro

Snoop Dogg may be known for his distinctive style but there’s one fashion item he refuses to go anywhere near – the humble skinny jeans.

The Drop It Like It’s Hot hitmaker, 52, is more often than not found in bespoke and uniquely designed attire from colourful matching tracksuits to striking leather jackets – all perfectly matched to the setting.

The one uniting factor between all his looks – created in collaboration with his longtime stylist and designer Talia Coles – is the loose and baggy element.

And now we know why.

The rapper opened up about his sheer aversion to skinny jeans – notorious for the way the uncomfortable fabric clamps onto the leg – in a new interview.

‘I’m skinny, so it’s going to be a problem getting in and out of these motherf***ers, so please don’t.’

‘There’s a certain limit to the skinny, you know what I’m saying?’ Snoop told People.

Then, echoing the plight of countless people over the years, he added: ‘We can’t do that, because I can’t have nobody helping me take my pants off like this, “Pull it off for me.” We ain’t doing that. We are not doing that.’

He went on to praise his stylist who he has never ‘clashed’ with and immaculately brings his visions to life.

‘We work together as a great team of ideas and she understands fashion, fabric, she understands my look, my style.

‘So it’s easy to work with somebody who can take your ideas and then bring them to life, not just on paper but on your body. She understands me. So we don’t ever clash.’

One example he shared was if he were to work with Louis Vuitton or Gucci, he wouldn’t play into their usual ‘flamboyant’ and ‘experimental’ style.

‘We don’t experiment. We bring the fly to the ad. You give us that wardrobe and watch what we do with it,’ he added.

The 90s icon recently made quite a fashionable impression on the masses after leading NBC coverage for the 2024 Paris Olympics as a special correspondent.

After getting suited and booted in a revolving, Olympic-themed, wardrobe (he even had custom t-shirts imprinted with the faces of athletes such as Simone Biles and Coco Gauff) the multi-Grammy-nominated artist secured an alleged paycheck of $500k (£392,165) a day.

This would total $8.5 million (£6.64m) across two weeks if true.

The singer has dabbled in several creative endeavours throughout his career – which was kickstarted after he appeared on Dr Dre’s debut solo single, Deep Cover in 1992.

Since then, Snoop has launched a brand of rose wine, released a cookbook (from Crook to Cook), tried out gospel songs, appeared on a slate of popular game shows, appeared in WrestleMania, and starred in several hit films such as Pitch Perfect 2 and Scary Movie 5 – just to name a few.

No wonder he needs a versatile wardrobe to keep up with his oscillating career.

And he’s nothing if not unpredictable. Just last month he opened up about his his connection with the late Queen Elizabeth II (something he has mentioned before).

‘I’ve heard the future king, William, is a huge Snoop fan,’ he said in a pre-Paris interview with Jordan North, per Rolling Stone.

He continued: ‘Well, the Queen was a fan too. Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my girl. You know what I’m saying? So, just may want to go up and, you know, see what you do, let me in or not.’

But his affinity with the royal family is not unfounded, as Prince William and Kate Middleton collaborated with him at the end of the 2024 Olympics to create a congratulatory message for the Team GB athletes who competed.
