Snoop Dogg has revealed that he fainted when he first met Pam Grier.
The West Coast rapper was at The Jennifer Hudson Show when he saw a photo of himself and Grier from his 2001 horror movie Bones.
According to Vibe, Snoop found Grier’s aura overwhelming.
“We was doing a movie, Bones, right? And this is young Snoop. I’m young at the time, right? They tell me I got the role with Pam Grier. So, I’m like, ‘Oh alright, I got Pam Grier!…I Catch the flight from Frisco to Vancouver. So, when I get to Frisco I’m sitting down and Pam Grier walk up and just sit right next to me and started talking to me.”

“My heart was beating fast, Jen. Jen, my heart was beating fast [like] da, dum, da, dum, da, dum. So, I’m like, ‘I hear what you’re saying, Pam. Give me a minute.’ I go to the bathroom and faint…I fainted. I’m laying on the ground. My security come in they like ‘Get off this nasty floor, man. What is you doing?’ I’m like, I looked up I said: ‘Cuz, I just met Pam Grier.”
Snoop Dogg Was Starstruck
Grier then took Snoop Dogg under her wing, but he couldn’t even make eye contact.
“She broke me down. She gave me all the information that I needed as far as to, like, lose that. She gave me information on how to be a better actor, a better person, and how to receive people like this who you are infatuated with. So, I thanked her for that, and I believe I became a better actor after that. So, Pam, I love you for that. And I appreciate you.”
Bones came out in 2001, following Jimmy Bones (played by Snoop Dogg), a man who returned for vengeance after being killed by his people.
Though it didn’t make waves in its initial release, the film has become a cult classic.
