Seth Rogen recalled the time he shared a joint with Jay-Z in a new interview with Complex.

"There was kind of a moment where I feel like me, and Snoop, and Wiz looked at each other and we were like, 'we should probably all go smoke,'" Rogen said. "And often, when I'm with Snoop, he asks me to roll the cross joint because he's fascinated by them and think they're fun."

Rogen went on to reveal that he also smoked out with many members of the Wu-Tang Clan. His work alongside RZA presented opportunities to smoke with the Wu-Tang Clan's defacto leader. However, it was the sessions with Method Man that stood out the most.

"Once I got to smoke weed with Method Man while he was, like, reading raps off his phone that he had written, just literally standing in a parking lot. Rapping to me as we smoked weed for 45 minutes or something like that," he recalled. "It was truly one of the greatest things of my life."

He also divulged details of the time he got to smoke out with Jay-Z, who approached him and his wife for a puff.

"I was at a party he was at and I was smoking weed with my wife and he came over and smoked a little bit of weed with us," he said. "It was great," he added, revealing that he supplied the weed.
