Ed Sheeran has stunned fans with a wild confession that he temporarily lost his eyesight after a smoking session with hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg. The British singer, known for chart-topping hits like Perfect and Shape of You, made the shocking revelation in a TikTok video posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, showing him and Snoop backstage during one of the rapper’s global tour stops.
The footage shows Snoop Dogg calmly rolling what appears to be marijuana while Ed watches on, laughing. The caption read: “Last time I smoked with Snoop I lost my ability to see.” Fans initially thought it was a joke until media outlets confirmed the post and Ed’s past comments on his experience with celebrity weed smokers.
This isn’t the first time Sheeran has spoken candidly about his run-ins with high-profile smokers. During a 2023 interview, he described Nigerian Afro-fusion star Burna Boy as “one of the heaviest smokers” he’s ever met, recalling their studio sessions while recording Own It with Stormzy and For My Hand from Burna Boy’s Love, Damini album.
Snoop Dogg, 52, remains one of the world’s most iconic cannabis advocates. His announcement in November 2023 that he was “giving up smoke” sent shockwaves through the internet. However, fans felt trolled days later when it turned out to be a promo for a smokeless fire pit. Snoop’s legendary tolerance has become part of his brand, and Ed Sheeran’s temporary blindness might just be further proof of how potent those moments can get.
Reactions online have ranged from amused disbelief to concern for Sheeran’s health. Some fans questioned if it was literal blindness or just an extreme high, but others saw it as a hilarious reminder that not everyone is built for the Snoop Dogg lifestyle. TikTok users have already started remixing the video into comedic skits, adding to its viral momentum.
Sheeran, who rarely smokes and has spoken openly about cutting down on drinking and drugs to focus on family, seemed to be sharing the moment with a mix of awe and self-deprecating humor. It’s unclear when the video was recorded, but many believe it was filmed in late 2024 during Snoop’s UK tour stop, which Sheeran was rumored to have attended.
Whether you see it as a cautionary tale or rockstar lore, Ed Sheeran’s unexpected “blindness” is now part of pop culture’s wildest weed moments—solidifying once again that when you roll with Snoop, you’re in for a ride.
