"Man has the pass to smoke anywhere" - NFL fans go crazy as footage of Snoop Dogg lighting a J before Super Bowl 22 halftime goes viral

Rapper Snoop Dogg was seen lighting up a J prior to the NFL halftime show at Super Bowl 2022. The California-born performer was getting ready to perform with fellow California-born rapper and record producer Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem.

But NFL fans were tweeting about what happened before Snoop Dogg grabbed a microphone.

Goldchain says: "Snoop has a free pass to smoke weed anywhere in the world. Literally anywhere."

Cleveland Cavaliers bilingual play-by-play announcer Rafa El Alcalde tweeted a video of the rapper warming up before going on stage for the halftime show.

DuhKey said: "Great, now everyone knows he smokes weed. Nice job guys."

Tom tweeted: "Gotta get that medicine in so the arthritis doesn’t act up mid show."

Andrew Brian Posadas responded by saying "Essentially this is Popeye eating his spinach before coming to save the day." In this case, Snoop is enjoying another green and leafy substance.

(Raquel) KOBE tweeted: "LMFAOOOOOO the only way Snoop knows how to warm up."

HULK SMASH GAMMA understands what happened and apparently wishes others would as well.

TheRealDeal had a sarcastic comeback for the image of Snoop's pre-halftime festivities.

Raoul Duke stated: "Dude, did you just out Snoop Dogg for smoking weed? I didn’t think that was even possible."

Kurtz von waco kid empathizes with the California-based rapper and icon.

Damione Hughes Jr. asserted: "This is the same man that has smoked at the White House before."

Afua mentioned: "This isn't a surprise to us."

The 50-year-old rapper and Dr. Dre opened the NFL halftime show with the song "The Next Episode" before paying tribute to their fallen friend, rapper Tupac Shakur, with his classic hit song "California Love."

Rapper and actor 50 Cent made a surprise appearance, where he performed his 2003 hit song "In Da Club" before R&B superstar Mary J. Blige sang her classic "Family Affair."

Musician and Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick Lamar then took to the stage. Eminem finally entered with a rendition of his hit song "Lose Yourself."
