British pop star Ed Sheeran has shared a surprising story about a recent encounter with American rap icon Snoop Dogg. According to Sheeran, he briefly lost his vision after smoking weed with the rapper.
The Shape of You singer made the revelation in a lighthearted TikTok video. In the clip, Snoop Dogg is seen rolling what appears to be marijuana, while Sheeran adds a cheeky caption: “Last time I smoked with Snoop I lost my ability to see.”
The post quickly caught attention online, with fans reacting in shock and amusement. It gave them a glimpse into a side of Sheeran they don’t often see relaxed, humorous, and completely honest.
Snoop Dogg’s history with cannabis
Snoop Dogg’s love for marijuana is no secret. He’s built much of his public image around cannabis culture. From music lyrics to interviews, weed has remained a part of his brand for decades.
Last year, Snoop stirred up the internet when he announced he was “giving up smoke.” Fans were stunned. Could the world’s most famous smoker be quitting weed?
It turned out to be a clever marketing trick. Days later, Snoop revealed he was promoting a smokeless stove in an ad campaign. The “smoke” he mentioned wasn’t about weed at all. The joke landed perfectly, and fans got a laugh out of it.
Ed Sheeran’s other weed stories
This isn’t the first time Ed Sheeran has talked about cannabis use. In past interviews, he has shared stories about working with other artists who smoke heavily.

One name he mentioned was Nigerian music star Burna Boy. According to Sheeran, Burna is one of the heaviest weed smokers he has ever worked with. Despite their different musical backgrounds, the two artists have worked closely together.
They collaborated on Stormzy’s hit single “Own It”, which went to number one in the UK. They teamed up again on “For My Hand”, a track from Burna Boy’s Love, Damini album.
When weed hits too hard
Sheeran’s story of going temporarily blind may sound extreme, but it’s not entirely unheard of. Experts say that consuming high levels of THC, especially for people with low tolerance, can cause temporary effects such as dizziness, confusion, or blurred vision.
Though these symptoms usually fade quickly and aren’t considered dangerous, they can be alarming for someone not used to them. That might explain Sheeran’s experience during his smoking session with Snoop Dogg.
Laughing it off
Despite the incident, Sheeran doesn’t seem to have any hard feelings. His tone in the TikTok video is playful and light. He appears to look back on the moment with humour, not embarrassment.
Fans appreciate this side of him. Whether it’s sharing silly personal moments or talking openly about his music career, Ed Sheeran remains one of the most relatable stars in pop music today.
A star who keeps it real
From international tours to laid-back hangouts with rap legends, Sheeran continues to show fans what life behind the scenes looks like. His recent story proves once again that even the biggest stars have surprising and very human moments.
