Snoop Dogg laughed at a post suggesting IShowSpeed mistook an impersonator for the West Coast legend and took a selfie with him.

Over the weekend, the popular content creator attended the Fatal Fury boxing event in Times Square, New York City. While there, he ran into someone who looked just like Snoop Dogg and took a selfie with him. Video of the hilarious moment surfaced online, and Snoop responded to a post suggesting Speed thought the man was the real Doggfather.

"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 almost @ishowspeed," Snoop wrote in the caption.

The impersonator is likely actor Eric Finch, a professional Snoop look-alike who once filmed a Corona commercial with the 53-year-old rapper.

While Snoop Dogg has plenty of impersonators, dubbing one 'Doop Dogg' in 2022, IShowSpeed met his female Argentinean look-alike, influencer Milica Ybañez, earlier this year during a livestream.

"Why do you look like me? Bro, she’s like the Argentina version of me," he said in the clip below.

Speed otherwise enjoyed himself at the Times Square event, even playing new video game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves with fans.

In other Speed-related news, it looks like the young streaming aficionado may soon have a major payday coming his way from DDG, who recently asked if IShowSpeed would cameo in an upcoming music video for a few million. During a stream of his own, the rapper-YouTuber offered $2 million for Speed’s appearance. Speed has not yet publicly responded, but don't be surprised if you see him shining like crazy in DDG’s next video.
