US rapper Snoop Dogg has put his garden shed up for sale to help raise money for charity.

Snoop is selling the treasured outbuilding, where he has written many hit songs, on auction website eBay, with the proceeds going to the rapper's Youth Football League.

He told E! News: "I've had this shed since the turn of the century. I've beaten over 1,000 people in Madden in it, watched football game tapes, seen the Lakers win championships, and, most of all, written hits in it."

And the shed is personally signed by the man himself for the winning bidder, for whom he has this message: "Enjoy it. And let the legend live on, ya dig?!"
