Snoop Dogg admits to listening to bootleg of Jay-Z's '4:44'

Looks like, signing up for Tidal for exclusive albums isn't really Snoop Dogg's thing as he admitted that he had to turn to piracy to sink his teeth into JAY-Z's new album '4.44.'

In his Insta shout-out to Jay-Z, the 45-year-old rapper said that he illegally listened to the album because he doesn't quite understand how the music streaming service works.

"I wanna shoot a shout-out to Jay-Z, just dropped another motherf**kin' hot album, 4:44," the 'Drop It Like It's Hot' hit-maker said.

He added, "But you know what, I don't got Tidal so my ni*** had to bootleg it to me. I'm on iTunes and shit coz I don't understand it y'all gotta explain it to me. I went to iTunes looking for his album and I couldn't find it. But my homie sent it to me you understand me."

Released on Friday, '4:44' is only available to Tidal customers who subscribed before 26 June, unless they're on the Sprint network.
