Snoop, Beckham to launch slipper line?

The rapper and soccer star – who are close friends – are so addicted to the comfy footwear they are planning to launch their own line of the ‘house shoes’ when they retire from their respective careers.

Snoop said: “I got David a pair of slippers as a present and he took a picture of him wearing them and sent it to me. I was like, ‘They look cool!’

“We are talking about making a slipper together. So when I stop rapping and he stops playing soccer we can kick back and slip on a house shoe.”

Snoop – whose real name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. – also revealed David’s wife Victoria is the “boss lady” in the couple’s marriage and was initially apprehensive about letting her husband spend time with him.

He told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “I met Victoria one time, at the Live 8 concert in 2005. She didn’t like me much – she didn’t like my bad boy persona. All she knew was, ‘Snoop Dogg’s a bad guy. I don’t want my husband dealing with him – he’s going to rub off on my husband.’

“But now she’s seen my show, and I think I’m cool with her now that she knows I’m family orientated – that I have a structure and a wife. Now she knows I’m a great person to rub off on her husband.

“But Victoria’s the boss lady in that relationship – that’s just how it is!”
