Famous for their parts in “Step Brothers,” actors Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly wished Snoop Dogg a happy birthday during a special birthday celebration. Renowned for his hits like “Gin and Juice,” the 52-year-old rapper was present at Ferrell’s charity event, “Best Night of Your Life 2,” which took place in Los Angeles on Saturday.
What’s more, from the surprise bash
Snoop Dogg was pleasantly surprised with a birthday tribute while performing at the event. As part of the celebration, Ferrell presented him with a three-tier cake adorned with a blue bandana and a figurine of the rapper sitting on a throne.
While performing, Snoop Dogg used the birthday cake’s lit candles to relight his joints. John C. Reilly responded positively to this by saying, “That’s what I’m talking about.” The two “Step Brothers” then started singing “Happy Birthday,” inviting everyone to join in. In a thank-you Instagram post, Snoop Dogg wrote, “My brothers surprised me – Will and John.”
The evening started off with Snoop Dogg performing “Boats ‘N Hoes,” a song from the movie “Step Brothers,” alongside John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell. The crowd was also treated to a performance of Snoop’s 1994 hit song “Gin and Juice.”
A number of comedians and musicians, including Jack Black, Jon Stewart, Maya Rudolph, Beck, Fred Armisen, and others, performed at the charity event.
A backstage photo that Snoop posted on Instagram indicates that other well-known rappers, such as DJ Quik, LL Cool J, Ludacris, and Nas, made appearances at the charity concert that Will Ferrell hosted at the Greek Theatre. And the Sunday after that, Snoop shared a video of his birthday party with a casino theme and a barbeque menu.
