Radio hosts unleash on Snoop critics

Snoop Dogg’s controversial booking for the 2025 AFL Grand Final has scored support from The Warm Up hosts Cam Mooney and Matt Worland, who brushed aside backlash on air.

“Snoop the Loop is going to be in town,” Worland said on this morning’s show.

“He’s got that entertainment factor that’s going to cut through.”

Worland acknowledged some outrage, particularly from older audiences.

“I know listeners of 3AW were very upset about Snoop being in town. He was banned from coming into the country 15 years ago.”

Still, he defended the decision.

“We can’t get Jimmy Barnes again. Daryl Braithwaite can do a song or two, but he can’t do Horses eight times.”

Mooney agreed, adding that the local options are tired.

“Can you please bring up a name other than ACDC, who I know are about to tour but they are 100.”

Mooney used his Big Hairy List segment to remind listeners of Snoop’s sports cred. From the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show to Olympic commentary with Kevin Hart, and even an impromptu WWE appearance in front of 81,000 fans, Mooney said Snoop has proven his star power.

The pair also played Snoop’s official Grand Final teaser:

“100,000 fans and the best two teams and your boy, big Snoop D O Double G at the MCG.”

They had a laugh at AFL boss Andrew Dillon attempting to rap lyrics in a promo video.

“He’s a big Snoop man,” Mooney joked.

“The fact that he knew the lyrics, or do you think someone was holding them up for him?”

For Mooney, the reason Snoop fits is simple.

“He’s become bigger than a singer now. He’s huge.”
