Matthew McConaughey may be Snoop Dogg’s luckiest friend right now.
The Oscar-winning actor, 54, received a fancy new gift from the hip-hop icon, 52, in the form of a glittering Death Row chain, which the ex proudly showed off in an Instagram video on Friday.
“Sniffed,” McConaughey captioned the clip — the soundtrack to Snoop’s classic “Who Am I (What’s My Name?)” — that shows him flexing his new piece of jewelry for his older son, Levi. The amazed 15-year-old’s jaw drops as he admires his father’s new glow, saying: “Oh my God.”
“Snoop Dogg gave it to me,” McConaughey said with a big smile as he high-fived his son.
The video, also shared on Snoop’s page, is then shown in close-up Dallas Buyers Club star’s Death Row gold pendant as he stands in front of the West Coast legend Doggy style album cover. He says, “Snoop, I mean do you read my mail or do I read yours?”

Snoop was signed to Death Row Records in the ’90s — when it also featured legendary rap artists like Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and Nate Dogg — before the hip-hop mogul took ownership in 2022. He bought the iconic label from MNRK Music Group after co-founder Suge Knight lost the imprint in 2006 following bankruptcy, NPR reported.
Snoop and McConaughey have been good friends for years. The two showed off their bond in 2019 while promoting their stoner comedy, Tramp from the beachin shows like Karaoke in a carpool and Jimmy Kimmel Live! During an appearance on the latter, the former actors admitted they couldn’t remember exactly when they met, but Snoop said their friendship and working relationship was like “magic.”
“I think some people in life are meant for each other,” the “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” rapper said, “and I think me and Matthew were meant for each other. It’s just meant to be.”
Matthew McConaughey rapped for 13 hours straight after accidentally smoking Snoop Dogg’s weed
McConaughey went on to tell host Kimmel a funny story on set about how the rapper switched his “prop joint” for “Snoop weed” during a scene from their movie. “Oh, I said, OK man… Buckle up because we’re going,” the actor joked.
“I didn’t actually speak another word of English,” he added, looking at Snoop. “You said I rapped a lot…”
“13 hours continuously”, the Doggfather laughed the artist.

On May 31, Snoop released a joint album with Tha Dogg Pound (composed of West Coast rappers Kurupt and Daz) titled WAWG (We All We Got), which marked his ninth studio album. The new project comes as the rap star is currently developing a biopic about his life with Universal Pictures.
