It was a case of the Drog and Snoop Dogg on Wednesday night as Chelsea veteran Didier Drogba kicked back at the Cannes Film Festival with the legendary rapper. 
Less than 24 hours after he sat out Chelsea's shock 3-0 defeat by West Brom at The Hawthorns, Drogba jetted off to the south of France for the prestigious event. 
After rubbing shoulders with celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Cara Delevingne on Tuesday evening, the 37-year-old Ivory Coast forward bumped into Snoop Dogg on Wednesday night.

Drogba posted a picture of the pair on his Instagram account stating: 'Great to catch up with my big bro yesterday @snoopdogg in Cannes @viproom SN double O PEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
The pair's friendship seems to go back a long way. In fact, Snoop Dogg took to Twitter to congratulate Drogba and his Chelsea team-mates following their triumph against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final back in 2012. 
Thomas Mueller's 83rd minute strike put the German giants ahead but Drogba levelled matters five minutes later before stepping up to take the decisive spot-kick during the ensuing penalty shoot-out to deliver the European title for the Blues.
