Cordozar Calvin Broadcus Junior, who is better known across the world as Snoop Dogg, performs the title track of a new Bollywood movie called Singh is Kinng which is being released in India on Friday.
Starring one of Bollywood's top actors Akshay Kumar, it's being dubbed as the fusing of two cultures - where the King of Bollywood meets the King of Rap.
The two are said to have got on like a house on fire and Akshay even managed to get the American rapper to don Indian clothes for the music video.
The film's producer Vipul A Shah said: "Their chemistry was worth seeing as they're superstars from two different worlds. To say the least, the video is looking brilliant."
The song is already a hit in India and is being played regularly on radio stations and in bars.
In the video, the singer who has been in and out of trouble with the police for most of his life, is seen wearing a traditional Indian kurta or long shirt, beige trousers with a turban studded with a diamond.
Indian film-maker Deepak Tijori told Sky News: "He has a very very select audience and the song is blended with a typical Bollywood song. It is a good pinch of salt but will not be the mainstay of the film."
In other words, it's Akshay who is drawing in the crowds in India, not necessarily the US rapper.
But that hasn't deterred Snoop, who apparently has plans to follow up with a tour to India.
"Snoop Dogg has a lot of fans in India and I love 'em right back," he said.
His co-performer Akshayis effusive with his compliments: "The song is mind-blowing. I made a few friends listen to it and they haven't stopped gushing about it.
"I am confident like the rest of the soundtrack this will go on to become a major chartbuster."
