“He’s a good friend…We just kind of liked each other right away,” Willie shared with Yahoo Entertainment. “I was headed to Amsterdam, and Snoop and I had been talking, doing some recording and everything, so I called him and said, ‘Come on over!’ We hung out for a while over there and went to all the best [cannabis] spots over there.”
