Michael Jordan is one of the biggest names in the game of basketball and sports in general. After dominating the game for a decade and a half, Michael is used to getting what he wants. After retiring from the game, Jordan now owns the Charlotte Hornets and has multiple side businesses. He is also one of the richest athletes in the world of sports. But it looks like even a legend like Jordan doesn’t always get what he wants.

According to a recent tweet, rapper Snoop Dogg once turned down an offer put forth by MJ. Snoop said, “One of the craziest deals I turned down, it was like $2 million to DJ for — I think it was a Michael Jordan event… And I turned it down.”

After being asked why he turned down the offer to DJ for Jordan, he gave an amusing answer. Snoop said, “Cause I was doing some other s**t. I had s**t to do, and I had way more customers before I get to you.” When asked whether he had ever met Jordan, Snoop said he hadn’t but said that he really wants to meet Jordan “as a fan.”
