The B.C. Lions have kicked off their CFL season with a concert by legendary rapper Snoop Dogg.

The 35-minute performance came before the Lions hosted the Edmonton Elks in their first game of the season.

Snoop Dogg performed several of his hits, including "P.I.M.P.," "Gin and Juice,," and "Drop it Like it's Hot," plus abbreviated versions of songs he has featured on, such as Katy Perry's "California Gurls."

Fans cheer as Snoop Dogg performs at B.C. Place.

The 53-year-old musician came dressed for the occasion, wearing a B.C. Lions jersey with the number 20 and "Snoop Dogg" on the back over his black hoodie.

He closed the set by signing several footballs and passing them out to fans in the crowd before making a heart with his hands and walking off the stage.
