Hip hop royalty have hopped to the aid of South Sydney ahead of Sunday’s NRL grand final after producer RZA joined fellow rapper Snoop Dogg in supporting the Rabbitohs.
RZA, a member of legendary rap group the Wu-Tang Clan, showed his red and green colours after revealing on Twitter that he has been supporting the Rabbitohs for the past seven years.
In the message, RZA, whose real name is Robert Fitzgerald Diggs, congratulated the team and co-owner, actor Russell Crowe, on making if to the NRL finals and the decider at ANZ Stadium.
The ‘Gravel Pit’ artist’s post follows hot on the heels of a pic posted on Snoop Dogg’s Instagram account which showed an email from Crowe reminding the rapper to watch the showdown between the Rabbitohs and the Canterbury Bulldogs.
Congrats to the South Sydney Rabbitohs and @russellcrowe for making it to the finals this year. I watched you guys progress for 7 years...

In the email, which was originally sent to Snoop’s agent Brent Smith, Crowe even goes to the trouble to research which US television station will be playing the match so there can be no chance the iconic hip-hop artist will miss the big event.
However, Snoop allayed any fears the 'Gladiator' star may have had by captioning the post with: “Message from Russell Crowe let’s go!!!”
