Snoop Dogg Gives Willie Nelson An Ugly Sweater For Christmas

by Roger Wink, VVN Music on January 5, 2017

One of the stranger friendships in music is the one between country superstar Willie Nelson and rap icon Snoop Dogg.

The two worked together in 2008 on the song My Medicine, along with Everlast, for Snoop’s album Ego Tripping.

Once again on Snoop’s 2011 set Doggumentary on Superman

Then, in 2012, they got back together for Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die from Willie’s album Heroes.

The friendship lives on today as Snoop gave Willie a brand new piece of clothing for Christmas, one that Nelson proudly wears on his Twitter feed:
