The rapper will host the bash in November

Snoop Dogg has been announced as the presenter for the forthcoming MTV Europe Music Awards.

The bash is set to take place in Germany’s Munich OlympiaHalle venue on November 1.

Foo Fighters and Mika have confirmed that they wil perform at the ceremony, although this year’s nominations are yet to be announced.

The even was surrounded by controversy last year, after Kanye West, who took home the Best Hip-Hop prize, had said, “If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility.”

After the nominations are announced, nearer the date, MTV viewers across Europe will decide who takes home the gongs by voting.

In a statement, Snoop Dogg said: “I've called up the homeys from East to West and I guarantee it’s gonna be off tha chain, ya dig?”
