Snoop Dogg recently cheered up a group of homeless men by buying them lunch and giving them a bag of marijuana.

The hip-hop star, who now goes by the name "Snoop Lion," admits he wanted to do a good deed, so he gave food and pot to the needy.

He tells America's GQ magazine, "These guys were asking me for food the other day, so I bought them lunch... Then the one guy goes, 'I smell that Snoop Dogg (weed) on you. I partake in all things Snoop Dogg.' And I go, 'Well, it's Snoop Lion now,' and I went to my car and I had some weed, so I said, 'There you go, you go enjoy that.' And he looked at it and said, 'I knew I smelled that Snoop on you.' And I was like, 'You guys have to share that.'"
