Snoop Dogg praises Beckham

Snoop Dogg says David Beckham helped "enlighten" his three children.

The 'Sensual Seduction' singer asked David to teach his children Corde, Cordell and Cori how to play soccer, and revealed the experience worked out very well.

He said: "David and I hang out a lot. I think he's cool. I asked him to teach my kids how to play soccer - and he invited them over to his academy.

"My eldest son Corde didn't even believe I knew him. He's the best in the game and he helped enlighten my kids on a different sport." Snoop also revealed he regularly studies dictionaries to expand his understanding of the English language.

He added: "I have about three thesauruses. I bought them to enhance my train of thought so when I'm on TV, people will say, 'He is sharp and articulate. He is not just a thug.'

" Earlier this year, it was reported David was set to rap on Snoop's upcoming record. The pair are also said to be planning to release a range of slippers.
