Picture: @MFB-NEWS Source: Supplied SMOKED-UP rapper Snoop Dogg was visited by firefighters today after setting off an alarm in his Melbourne hotel room. Fire crews were attending a false alarm incident at the inner-city five star hotel when Snoop's smoke-filled room sparked an emergency call. "We were there for a different reason," a Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokeswoman said today. Then we were called to a second incident in another room. That was where our firefighters met Snoop. The spokeswoman confirmed Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus and whose recent monikers have included Snoop Lion and Snoopzilla, set off a smoke alarm. Asked what type of fumes firefighters encountered in Snoop's room, the spokeswoman said: "I don't know what type of smoke, no." MFB's Owen Sullivan and James Kemp, who checked on Snoop's room, said the rapper was "lovely" and told them he wanted to be a firefighter when he was younger. The controversial rap star is well known for his love of weed. Earlier this week, he caused an uproar after posting a selfie sitting beside a fruit platter and bowl of marijuana buds. Snoop posted this picture on Instagram from his Gold Goast hotel suite earlier this week. Immigration officials said the picture may jeopardise any plans to visit in future. Snoop is scheduled to perform at the Big Day Out Festival at Flemington Racecourse tonight.
