Snoop's new chain pays tribute to the legendary group.

Last night, Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to show off a new diamond chain inspired by legendary New York rap group Wu-Tang Clan. Snoop posted a video showing fans the look and some of the details of his new chain. The video is accompanied by the groups song "Gravel Pit." As you'd expect fans took to the comments to share their thoughts on the piece, largely with fire emojis. The chain was created by King Ice a California based jeweler who's made similarly elaborate chains for numerous other high-profile celebs.

It's the second time that Snoop Dogg has recently offered a co-sign through custom pieces. In his bid to become the first black owner of an NHL team he's joined a buying group for the leagues Ottawa Senators. The group is currently in a bidding war with another buying group which is led by Ryan Reynolds and also includes The Weeknd. In an Instagram post last week Snoop showed off some sleek custom Senators sweatpants that left many fans speculating whether he'd completed his purchase of the team.

Snoop Dogg's Crazy New Chain

Snoop Dogg is also set to play Mass Appeal & Live Nation's Hip Hop 50th anniversary show later this year. He will headline alongside Ice Cube, Lil Wayne and Run D.M.C. Just this morning, it was announced that Wu-Tang Clan would headline a different celebration of the genre's 50th birthday. The Hot 97 Hip Hop 50 Show will feature Wu-Tang alongside Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey. The shows will take place in August and September respectively, bookending the genre's actual birthday in mid August.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have been teasing a collaborative album for a while now. Recently they once again gave fans a peek at the album, which is expected to be titled Missionary. Snoop shared a photo of the two in the studio with an evocative caption that got fans attention. "Coming soon" Snoop captioned the post, which was more than enough to get people talking. A release date isn't currently confirmed but the project appears to be well under way. What do you think of Snoop Dogg's new chain? Let us know in the comments below.
