Who’s doing the best at the 2024 Olympics? Don’t look at the medal count, because that’s not a factor: The answer is Snoop Dogg. He got to carry the torch, he had a laugh with Simone Biles’ mom, and now, he’s had a delightful private tour of Paris’ iconic Louvre museum.

Snoop shared a video of his visit on Instagram, and it’s good, clean fun. He starts, “You ever seen Night At The Museum? Well tonight, you get to go in the museum with Snoop Dogg, and we’re gonig to be snooping around.”

Of course, “snooping around” was more a play on words than it was an accurate description of his conduct, as Snoop behaved himself, didn’t touch anything he wasn’t supposed to, and so on. That doesn’t mean he didn’t enjoy himself, though.

While looking at the “Mona Lisa,” Snoop jokes, “Just found out I was Mona Lisa’s twin brother: Tony Lisa.” He then opted to see if the “Mona Lisa” is one of those paintings where the eyes seem to follow you around the room. That didn’t seem to be the case, but Snoop did observe, “She smile real hard when I stand on this side.”

He checks out some other art from there, so give the video a watch above.

Lil Wayne Reveals The Real Reason He Doesn’t Perform “Mona Lisa” Featuring Kendrick Lamar

Lil Wayne has an absolutely stacked catalog that spans over three decades, with so many hits that his concerts are always going to miss at least a couple of classics. But a recently surfaced clip from one of his concerts sees him give an explanation for why he doesn’t perform one of his biggest hits of the late 2010s: 2018’s “Mona Lisa” featuring Kendrick Lamar off of Tha Carter V. Of course, a lot of people might assume that this might be because of the K.Dot and Drake beef that reached its peak this year, given Weezy’s bond with Drizzy through Young Money. However, even though he has reason to obfuscate if this is really the case, his actual explanation for this omission seems much more reasonable and honest.

“People in front, listen, listen,” Lil Wayne’s remarks not performing “Mona Lisa” featuring Kendrick Lamar began. “This is the second time I seen this within my last three shows. Somebody had a sign that said to do ‘Mona Lisa.’ I’m not sure if that means you, if y’all said y’all real Lil Wayne.

“So if you real Lil Wayne fans, do you know I don’t know the lyrics to my s**t?” Lil Wayne asked the crowd. “Do you know how hard that f***ing song is, girl? You know what I mean? I don’t like to rap the words, but I’m going to learn that s**t. I’m going to learn it. I’m going to learn. I got you. This is for her and for the ‘Mona Lisa’ lovers. But this ain’t ‘Mona Lisa,’ but this for y’all. Let’s go,” he concluded before playing another song.

“That moment in the studio with Wayne, I never told Wayne this,” Kendrick Lamar had said of Lil Wayne a couple of years ago. “That changed my perspective on work ethic. These not no motherf***ing ‘fly by night’ verses. These is set right there and thought out right in front of your face. And he’s excited about it, and he’s loving music, and he loves what he’s doing. That gave me a whole other appreciation, and we took that same intensity and work ethic, and applied it moving forward.”
