Kenya, March 10 -- American rap icon Snoop Dogg has once again delighted fans by featuring an unexpected viral moment in his growing meme collection on Instagram.
This time, it's a video of former Kenyan Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua whistling during a public event that caught the legendary artist's eye.
The clip, originally captured during Gachagua's tenure in 2023, shows the politician whistling a tune with surprising skill while addressing a crowd, a moment that quickly became a social media sensation in Kenya.
On Monday, Snoop Dogg, known for curating quirky and humorous content, posted the video to his Instagram page with the caption, "Whistle while you work, family! #MemeLordSnoop."
The post has since garnered thousands of likes and comments, bridging the gap between American pop culture and Kenyan online chatter.
Gachagua, who was impeached in October 2024 over allegations of corruption and insubordination, has largely stayed out of the public eye since leaving office.
However, Snoop's spotlight has reignited interest in the whistling clip, with Kenyan social media users buzzing about the unlikely crossover.
"Snoop Dogg just made Gachagua's whistle global-what a time to be alive!" one user posted, while another quipped, "From State House to Snoop's house, Riggy G stays winning."
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has built a reputation for embracing internet culture, often sharing memes that resonate with his 80 million-plus followers.
His addition to Gachagua's video joins a diverse mix of content, from dancing pets to retro TV clips, showcasing his knack for spotting universal humour.
