Snoop Dogg has said the Queen is his "gal" after claiming she once stopped him getting kicked out of the UK.
The rapper was facing a murder charge in the US in 1993, which he was later acquitted of, and as he was touring the UK at the time there were calls for him to be removed from the country.
However, Snoop claimed the monarch stepped him.
Opening up during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, the chart star recalled a newspaper headline from the time that said: "Kick this evil b****** out."
"This while I was fighting a murder case, over there doing shows," he explained.
"But guess who came to my defence?" he went on.
"Just take a guess. The Queen!"
The Young, Wild & Free rapper continued: "The Queen said, 'This man has done nothing in our country. He can come.'
"Bow down… when the queen speak, bow down."
Snoop, 50, added: "That's Harry and William's grandmother. You dig? You think one of them say, 'Grandma, please let him in grandma! He's ok, we love his music'."
The star then pretended to be the monarch and adopted a different accent as he joked about what she might have said to the princes.
"You know Harry, I'll let him in for you," he said.
"He's not so bad after all and he's quite cute!"
"Thank you Queen, I love you baby," Snoop added.
"The Queen, that's my gal."
Snoop and his bodyguard were arrested in 1993 after a man was shot and killed in Los Angeles.
The musician's star was on the rise at the time, and his album Doggystyle had topped the chart in America.
Snoop and his bodyguard were both acquitted in 1996.
