Fans go crazy as IShowSpeed mistakes a Snoop Dogg lookalike for the real deal and asks for a photo

IShowSpeed has made headlines, but this time, it's not for his entertaining live streams. The young streamer caused a social media sensation after he accidentally mistook Snoop Dogg’s lookalike for the real rapper himself.

@FearedBuck on X, formerly Twitter, shared the now-viral clip with the caption:

“IShowSpeed thought he met Snoop Dogg and asked to take a picture with him.”

The clip showed Speed sitting in the front row of an event, dressed in an all-black outfit. He was gesturing to a Snoop Dogg lookalike for a picture together. Later, Speed shared the selfie on his official social media account, where the two of them posed with smiles while the lookalike flashed a peace sign.

Fans react to IShowSpeed's picture with Snoop Dogg's lookalike

Following the now-viral clip, several netizens have shared their opinions on IShowSpeed's mistake.

Some netizens maintained the belief that the lookalike was, in fact, Snoop Dogg.

“I mean, why does "fake" Snoop have seats that are so close to the event and a press credential around his neck? Plus, that dude's really tall, like Snoop. I'm not hating on him for this one,” @kyboss360 commented.

“If that's not snoop, why did he have a special badge in the front row? They aren't gonna give some random guy that kind of access,” @rhartman stated.

Other netizens expressed their disbelief over the uncanny likeness between Snoop Dogg and his lookalike, claiming that if they were in Speed’s shoes, they would definitely have been fooled, too.

“Would have def fooled me. Esp cus some celebs do look slightly different irl sometimes. Damn this dude prolly got all kinds of free shit over the years,” @fvck_college tweeted.

“Holly Molly! I actually thought this was Snoop. Nahhhh, IShowSpeed wasn't carzy to have thought this was Snoop. The resemblance is too much! I would definitely have gone up for an autograph myself,” @uniqueidomagirl said.

However, some netizens didn't see the resemblance between the rap legend and his body double.

“So IShowSpeed… this YouTuber with enough energy to power a small country… thinks he met Snoop Dogg… takes a selfie… posts it… and it’s a LOOKALIKE! Not even close, yo! This guy looked like Snoop if he was built by AI trained on a bootleg CD cover!” @citrixfarsi commented.

“That definitely not snoop I can tell that lol,” @themoe85 added.

Another felt that Speed should have realized it was not the real Snoop when he saw the look-alike of Tupac strolling by.

“I think he knew there were a few lookalikes there,… fake Tupac walking by gave it away,” @BrooklynBoyB added.
