Picture the scene. It's your birthday and your friends and family have all wished you Happy Birthday, but then you get a special video message and it's not from someone you know...it's from Snoop Dogg.

Snoop knows your name and that you're the biggest fan of his song 'Drop It Like It's Hot', plus he's personally wishing you a Happy Birthday. Well this is a real possibility now thanks to Cameo.

But it's not just Snoop who can send you a personalised message - Ice Cube, Keri Hilson and a host of iconic stars from the world of Hip Hop and R&B have all signed up.

Tiger King star Carole Baskin may have raised the platform's profile with her hilarious performance of 50 Cent's song 'In Da Club', but there are so many more stars making quality videos on Cameo too.
