Snoop Dogg reached out to Amy Winehouse

Snoop Dogg, who has recently been on tour in the UK, told the BBC's Radio 1 that he reached out to Amy Winehouse back in 2009 because he was concerned "she was down". 

Speaking to Scott Mills, the 'Gin & Juice' rapper revealed how he tried to set up recording sessions with the previously troubled singer to help get her back on track, saying he asked her to "come to the studio with me and I'll get your spirit back right and get you back in the right mode and the right mentality."

"When she was down and out I tried to lift her up."

"When she was going through that little phase I was trying to be a friend."

Although the pair never found time to work together, Snoop admitted how relieved he is to see the 'Back To Black' star back to her normal self:

"It didn't happen but she did get her life back right,"

"It was just concern, knowing that if I helped get her in the studio I could get a private moment with her and let her know she's got some real friends."
