In a tale that blends stardom with smoke clouds, British pop star Ed Sheeran recently shared a wild backstage experience that left him temporarily blind, thanks to none other than hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg.
During Snoop’s Melbourne concert in March 2023, Sheeran—accompanied by his wife Cherry Seaborn and mother-in-law—got more than he bargained for when he found himself in a cloud-filled dressing room with Snoop and actor Russell Crowe. Known for his clean-cut image and mellow melodies, Sheeran admitted he’s far from a regular smoker. But when the Doggfather offers a puff, you don’t say no.
“They were going blunt for blunt for blunt,” Sheeran recalled in an interview, “and I don’t really smoke at all. But I figured, why not?”
That decision led to a moment he won’t forget—or see clearly again anytime soon.
“I remember looking at him and just saying, ‘I can’t see right now.’ I genuinely lost my sight,” Sheeran confessed, laughing at the memory.
This hilarious encounter underscores the sheer potency of Snoop Dogg’s legendary tolerance, with his personal blunt roller previously revealing that the rapper smokes up to 150 joints a day.
While Sheeran’s detour into Snoop’s smoky world left him dazed and confused, it’s now a story for the books—a backstage badge of honor in the ever-wild world of showbiz. And perhaps a reminder: when you’re chilling with Snoop, bring sunglasses… and a guide dog.
