Don't know what you heard about me, but I'm a Mutha F****n P.I.M.P

Snoop Lion has revealed he worked as a pimp back in 2003.

The rapper turned reggae singer claims he managed several prostitutes and had a lot of famous clients, including top athletes.

The 41-year-old rapper - formerly known as Snoop Dogg - told the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine: 'I put an organisation together. I did a Playboy tour, and I had a bus follow me with ten b***hes on it.

I could fire a b***h, f**k a b***h, get a new h*: It was my program. City to city, t***y to t***y, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer.

"If I'm in a city where where the Denver Broncos or the Nuggets play, I get a couple of they players to come hang out, pick and choose, and whichever one you like comes with a number. A lot of athletes bought p***y from me.'

However, Snoop insisted that he only did the job out of 'fascination' and never made any money from the illegal transactions.

He added: 'I'd act like I'd take the money from the b***h, but I'd let her have it. It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp. 
'As a kid I dreamed of being a pimp, I dreamed of having cars and clothes and b***hes to match. I said, "F**k it -- I'm finna do it." '
