Legendary musician Dr. Dre revealed which Premier League club he supports and even namechecked some of their best players.
Dre - real name Andre Romelle Young - revealed his English team following a promotional tour in London with N.W.A back in 1988.
During his tour, he said one night they were watching TV and stumbled across Liverpool, describing them as 'cool cats in red'.

"They’re the team I always look out for when I’m at home," he told the club's official website.
"Back in 1988 I was in London on a promotional tour with NWA, and one night we were watching TV and these cool cats in red came on the box.
"They whupped some poor dudes four or five zip."
On the game he watched that night, he singled out John Barnes as he compared him to iconic basketball player 'Magic' Johnson.

"John Barnes. He was bad," he said.
"Kinda reminded me of Magic Johnson. I’m from LA and dig the Lakers, especially when Magic was there, and Barnes was like him, in that he made the ball talk. The cat was cool."
Dre added: "Michael Owen is your most famous player in the States. Robbie Fowler and Jamie Redknapp are old school, so I've seen them play quite a few times. And there's the guy with the long hair. Help me out here..."
Reminded of Czech star Patrik Berger, he replied: "Bingo! He’s the bomb!"

He also named Owen as his favourite player.
In 1988, the Reds were managed by former player Kenny Dalglish, who steered the club to the Football League First Division title in the 87/88 season.
Dre recently caught up with current star Curtis Jones, so it appears he's still a big Liverpool fan.
