Snoop Dogg joins Deion Sanders for homecoming, takes jab at Alabama State coach: ‘We SWAC’
Deion Sanders brought a heavy hitter to Jackson State’s homecoming over the weekend.
Snoop Dogg attended the game against Campbell, and, in the process, jabbed Alabama State coach Eddie Robinson Jr. for comments he made earlier this season after a confrontation between the coach and Sanders.
“I know they say we ain’t SWAC, but we’ve got to be something, we’ve got the D-O-Double,” Sanders said.
To which Snoop replied, “We SWAC, What?”
Earlier this month, after Jackson State’s 26-12 win over Alabama State, Sanders and Robinson shook hands before the Hornets coach appeared to shove Sanders away.
Sanders, surrounded by police escorts, seemed aggravated by the gesture.
“I thought it was a lot of disrespect all week,” Robinson said after the game. “You aren’t going to be disrespectful the whole week in the media. We didn’t talk in the pregame. I was out there the whole time at the 50 yard line. He walked around our offensive huddle and our whole end zone. He came the long way around the get to his side of the field. I thought that wasn’t classy at all. …
“He ain’t SWAC. I’m SWAC. He ain’t SWAC.”
Robinson would later apologize for the comments.
Jackson State beat the Camels 22-14 over the weekend.
