Snoop Dogg might be one of the most famous and influential rap artists,but it seems he also is quite the collector of European football shirts.

The American rapper, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, displayed his range of jerseys with a post on Instagram, with the caption: "Internationally loved and globally respected."

Among the shirts are some from the biggest clubs in Europe, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon, Manchester United and Liverpool – suggesting that Snoop Dogg doesn't care too much for football rivalries.

One shirt that sticks out is that of Premier League club Burnley – certainly a solid and well-run top-flight club, but not one that would usually find its jersey being worn by American rap stars. Perhaps Snoop Dogg is a quiet Sean Dyche fan – after all, they do share the same initials.

Snoop Dogg often collects and then wears football shirts of the city he is touring and performing in. Maybe next time he tours the UAE we could see him in an Al Ain or Al Nasr shirt?
