David Beckham is turning rapper - and recording a track with hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg.

Snoop has asked pal Becks, 32, to work on the backing vocals for his next single.

And the squeaky-voiced footballer - a monster rap fan - is desperate to do it. A source revealed: "Snoop thought it'd be a laugh and David is going to give it a real go.

"They are huge names so the song's bound to be a hit - even if it's no good." The unlikely friends also have plans to team up on a film and fashion label - and design a range of SLIPPERS.

Snoop, 36, has said: "Me and my boy David come from separate worlds but it's not just business talk - we also chat about our families."
