Snoop Dogg Wants to Make a Record with Le'Veon Bell

Former Michigan State Spartans star, Pittsburgh Steeler and aspiring rapper Le'Veon "Juice" Bell apparently has friends in high places when it comes to the music industry.

TMZ caught up with Snoop Dogg as he was preparing to step into a van and asked about the football star's rap ambitions (Snoop is a Steelers fan). Check out his response:

"He's a Steeler, He gets that love," Snoop says.

Bell led the Big Ten in rushing in 2012 for MSU and actually released a mixtape while recovering from an injury earlier this year. His rap name, Juice, is apparently a reference to O.J. Simpson.
