Snoop Lion's DJ set in London

Snoop Lion played a surprise DJ set in London.

The 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks' rapper was clearly in the party spirit after his performance at the Yahoo! Wireless festival and later entertained an exclusive crowd at London hotspot Boujis into the early hours of the morning.

The star initially agreed to spin the decks at the South Kensington club for an hour, but treated fans to an additional 60 minutes of floor-fillers both old and new while sipping on Red Bull Editions cocktails.

Snoop's impromptu DJ set followed his rousing performance on the main stage at Yahoo! Wireless in Stratford, east London, where he preceded headline act, Justin Timberlake.

The rapper performed a string of his past hits including 'Drop It Like It's Hot', and even brought out singer Rita Ora to perform their duet, 'Torn Apart', which is lifted from his new reggae-inspired album 'Reincarnated'.

Snoop was full of praise for his 22-year-old collaborator after they took the stage, calling her a "special lady".

The star also vowed to return to the Wireless stage next year because he enjoyed his time at the festival so much and felt he was treated like "royalty".

He told MTV News: "I will definitely make a grand appearance again and return to the stage and grace you all with my presence once more.

"I had a great time the people really gave me a lot of love, treated me with hospitality, so I appreciate the love. It was royal treatment for a royal kind guy."
