In recent years, Snoop Dogg has come to Montreal to DJ an event celebrating a marijuana company and to speak at C2 about the cannabis industry. At the latter conference, he was presented with a Montreal Canadiens jersey by Mayor Valérie Plante.

The jersey did not stop him from trying to buy the Ottawa Senators last year as part of a group that also included actor Ryan Reynolds. (The bid failed.)

In February, the 52-year-old rapper sued Walmart, alleging the brand was sabotaging his cereal brand by hiding it from its shelves.

Anyhow, Tuesday’s announcement — and the fact his previous tour date is on June 6 in Quebec City — suggest Snoop will be spending Grand Prix weekend in Montreal. His concert will be a few hours after the race’s conclusion, so some people will inevitably have quite the Sunday!
