“I don’t wanna meet him like I’m out there DJing…I wanna meet him as a fan, as a boss,” he told the YouTuber. It still sounds surreal that someone would decline Jordan.

And it’s because Jordan played for the enemy. “I’m a Lakers fan. I’m not gonna be trying to go fraternize with him.”
But when Broadus turned down Jordan’s event, he made sure that the Chicago Bulls star would not be offended. “It’s like, ‘Mike, I’ve loved you since North Carolina. I’m a big fan of yours, I love what you do, you one of the greatest to ever do it,'” Snoop apparently had to say for Jordan.
