While wrapping the gold chain around Ed Sheeran's neck, Snoop Dogg can be heard saying, ''We want to see all your videos, all your dressing rooms, all your drinks, smoking all your w**d – come to Death Row.''
Mr Sheeran then replied: “Well, I'm in your dressing room, drinking all your drinks.”

Death Row Records was originally founded by Dr. Dre, The D.O.C., Michael ‘Harry O' Harris, and Suge Knight in 1991. In February 2022, Snoop acquired the company from MNRK Music Group, making him the owner of the famed hip-hop label.

Another commented, ''A Lannister soldier and a Gladiator.'' A third wrote, ''If that doesn't show you how people from different backgrounds can be great friends, nothing can.''
