Jessica Mauboy reveals the shock price she paid to get Snoop Dogg on her 2010 hit Get ‘Em Girls: ‘Back then, that was nothing!’

Jessica Mauboy has revealed the shock price paid to have iconic US rapper Snoop Dogg feature on her 2010 hit single Get ‘Em Girls.

The Australian singer, 37, recently appeared on The Mitch Churi Show and stunned the host by revealing she managed to book the legendary performer for a bargain price.

‘$50,000! Back then, that was nothing,’ Jessica began.

She added that she had enormous respect the California Gurls performer for agreeing to feature on her track at such a low cost.

‘Not only was it important because it was his craft, it was his credibility! I respected that, he has been around for a long time,’ she said. 

She then revealed what it was like filming a music video with Snoop for the song, which became a hit single in Australia. 

‘When Get ‘Em Girls came out it was a different time, I don’t think Australia was ready for it! It was one of the greatest, I was in my prime with Snoop,’ she revealed.

‘He acted in the video, he did studio time. He brought his entourage to the music video and was cooking fried chicken! $50,000 is nothing for that!’ 

Snoop has a huge following in Australia and last year stunned fans when he performed at the AFL Grand Final in September.

The US hip-hop icon ripped through a stunning nine-song set that featured a slew of classics and a few surprises.    

After a performance from homegrown hip-hop star Baker Boy and the obligatory rendition of the iconic Up There Cazaly from Mike Brady, Snoop wasted no time getting the crowd into the mood. 

Before the event got underway, Snoop was egging the crowd on from the big screen with the help of a Super Bowl-style marching band and a litany of dancers. 

Dressed in a crisp white tracksuit bearing his name, Snoop kicked off proceedings with his 1999 collaboration with Dr Dre, The Next Episode.

Another Dre collab, Nothing But A ‘G’ Thang came next, followed by his 2004 Billboard chart-topper Drop It Like It’s Hot.

Jessica Mauboy then joined Snoop on stage for a stunning version of his 2003 track Beautiful.

While some viewers had mixed reactions to the star’s performance, the commentary online was overwhelmingly positive, with fans taking to social media to hail the star.

‘The King of rap,’ one fan enthused while another was critical of the crowd’s reaction to the performance.

‘Snoop is being wasted on this audience,’ they wrote. 

However, one fan hailed Snoop’s turn as being streets ahead of one disastrous AFL performance.

‘Snoop is better than Meat Loaf,’ they wrote.
