Snoop Dogg wants 'American Idol' role

The 40-year-old rapper said he is interested in joining the panel after hearing of the millions of dollars the judges earn on the television competition, the rapper revealed, reported Contactmusic.

"I'll do 'American Idol'," he said.

The music icon, who is is known for often swearing and generally using offensive language, said he would be mindful of his tone if he appeared on the family friendly entertainment programme.

"I'll clean my act up, but I'm still Rastafari," he added.

'American Idol' returns in January and singer Mariah Carey is filling one of the two seats made available following Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler's exits last month.
