Snoop Dogg has revealed that he tried to organise studio time with Amy Winehouse in 2009, when he was worried about her health.
The rapper, who released new album 'Doggumentary' earlier this month, has said that he met the singer in a nightclub back in 2009.
''When she was down and out I tried to lift her up. When she was going through that little phase I was trying to be a friend," Snoop told BBC Radio 1.
Snoop Dogg invited Winehouse to come and record with him, adding: ''It didn't happen but she did get her life back right. It was just concern, knowing that if I helped get her in the studio I could get a private moment with her and let her know she's got some real friends."
Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has revealed that he road tests new music on David Beckham.
