Paris Olympics

Snoop Dogg Is Reportedly Making This Much Every Day At The Olympics

by

Snoop Dogg has been all over the 2024 Paris Olympics on NBC. NBC made Snoop a special correspondent for the Olympics after a successful run during the 2021 Games in Tokyo. According to Henry McNamara on X, they’re paying him $500K per day and covering his expenses as well. Considering Snoop’s lifestyle, those expenses won’t be low, either. It speaks to how highly NBC thinks of the 52-year-old that he has gotten this kind of deal.

Since arriving in Paris, Snoop Dogg has been all over the country. He was one of the final torchbearers of the Olympics, carrying the torch through the streets of Saint-Denis alongside Pharrell Williams. After that, fans have seen Snoop Dogg all over the place at the Olympics. Fans have seen him at gymnastics, basketball, swimming, equestrian, and everywhere else. He has shown especially enthusiastic support for American athletes. During many of his appearances around the country, Snoop often wears shirts of American Olympians, past and present. If McNamara’s story is accurate, none of those appearances have come cheap for NBC.

Snoop Dogg Gets Paid Well In Paris

This is not the first time that Snoop has covered the Summer Olympics. Snoop worked as a correspondent during the Tokyo games in 2021, an event marred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Snoop and Kevin Hart co-hosted Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg, and the series performed well. It was thanks, in part, to that success, that NBC gave him a special correspondent role in Paris. Hart is also back in the fold this year, hosting the highlights show with Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson.

The 2028 Summer Olympics are taking place in Los Angeles. It would be surprising if NBC did not bring him back for his third straight Olympic Games. Snoop Dogg was born and raised in Long Beach, which is about 40 minutes away from Los Angeles. It would be a homecoming for the legendary rapper-turned-TV personality, one that Snoop will be unlikely to miss out on. For now, fans can enjoy his many appearances around Paris during what has been an extraordinary few weeks of high-level competition. The 2024 Olympic Games conclude on August 11.

Snoop Dogg Absolutely Loved Watching A Dressage Horse Dance To ‘Gin And Juice’

Aside from the athletes, no one has had a better Olympics than Snoop Dogg, as he has been everywhere in Paris, serving as an NBC correspondent and Team USA superfan. Fans have loved getting to see Snoop’s various side quests during the Olympics, as he’s carried the torch, popped up at seemingly every event, hung out with Cookie Monster, toured the Louvre, and looked like he’s had a blast doing it all.

Over the weekend, Snoop joined his friend Martha Stewart at the dressage competition, where he got to take in the horse dancing that caused him to go viral back in 2021 when he lost his mind on his highlights show with Kevin Hart watching what he called “horse crip walking.” This time around, Snoop wasn’t going to miss a chance to see it in person, and on Sunday night he and Martha joined Mike Tirico in the NBC studio to talk about their trip out to the dressage competition. However, NBC had a surprise for Snoop, as they had video of a horse from Poland that did their routine to his song “Gin & Juice”, which led to an impromptu freestyle from the Doggfather.

As Snoop explained, after going with Martha he gained a real appreciation for the dressage competition and the way the horse and the “driver”, as he called them, are so in sync. There’s still no word if Snoop will be able to get one of the horses in a music video, but having one perform to one of his songs is pretty close.

Snoop Dogg And Cookie Monster Took A Moment To Fulfill Their Munchies In An Adorable New Video

The world doesn’t seem to agree on Snoop Dogg being the greatest rapper of all time. But, there is another title he can snatch without debate—the most globally popular.

Today (August 3), the “Gin And Juice” rapper boasted his beloved status by appearing in a video with Cookie Monster. Elmo brought his beef with Rocko to the 2024 Paris Olympics game. While Cookie Monster, on the other hand, opted for a sweet treat with Snoop Dogg.

In an adorable clip, Snoop Dogg and Cookie Monster enjoyed cookies as they stepped away from the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

“Hi @SnoopDogg, me C. double O K.I.E,” read the post’s caption.

Users online ate the joint video up and didn’t hold back in their responses.

“The collaboration I never knew I needed,” wrote one user.

“Snoop really is the side quest captain 😂,” penned another.

“Did not have Snoop and the Cookie Monster on my Bingo card, but here for it,” joked another.

“What a collab. We need Cookie in Snoop’s next video 😂,” chimed another.

Prior to the Olympics, Snoop Dogg jokingly vowed to give up his favorite green plant if given the chance to cover the competition. However, he didn’t say anything about abandoning his munchies once they crept up.

Flava Flav Emerges as USA Women’s Water Polo Sponsor, Joins Jill Biden at the Paris Olympics

Flava Flav and Jill Biden cheer on US Women's Water Polo Team in Paris

Flava Flav has always been a man of many talents and ventures whether it is music, reality television, or business. And while nobody probably had Flav sponsoring the USA Women’s water polo team on their 2024 bingo card, that is exactly the case as the artist has emerged as playing a vital role in the team’s success and journey to the Olympics.

The story began in May when women’s water polo team member Maggie Steffens posted how most of the women work one (or more) full-time jobs in addition to practicing and competing in the sport. She commented how the women’s water polo team, like many of the less popular sports, relies on sponsors to pay for things like equipment, travel, and pool time.

Flav commented on her post, vowing that “as a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports,” he would “personally sponsor you my girl,,, whatever you need,” promising that his manager would be in touch with her agent and vowing to “use all my relationships and resources to help all y’all even more. That’s a FLAVOR FLAV promise.”

The former Public Enemy artist indeed came through on his promise, donating an undisclosed amount of money and more importantly, serving as the team’s unofficial hype man, attending matches wearing a Team USA branded water polo cap and (of course) a similarly branded waterproof clock necklace. Joining him to cheer on the team was First Lady Jill Biden, who thanked him for his support of women’s sports.

On X, Flav shared a video of him embracing Biden and team members along with the caption:

“I love all the support Women’s Water Polo is getting,,, ya boy is so appreciative that the First Lady came to the First Game . THANK YOU @flotus Dr. Jill Biden for all the support of you and your family.”

In a statement to the Associated Press, Flav stated that “When I come out and I watch this water polo team … ‘USA! USA!’ Yo, I’m going to be the biggest hype man that they ever had in their life,” he told the AP on Friday. “I’m going to be bigger than any cheerleader that they had in their life. I’m going to cheer this team on, and I’m going to cheer this team into winning a gold medal.”

Snoop Dogg Trolled By Simone Biles’ Mom For Snubbing Them Years Ago

Snoop Dogg was called out by Simone Biles’ mom, Nellie Biles, during an opening ceremony interview with NBC at the Paris Olympics. The iconic gymnast’s mother recalled she and her daughter asking Snoop for a picture during a trip to New York City back in 2010. Despite promising to hook them up, he apparently snubbed them just minutes later.

“I will never forget that we met you in Times Square. 2010. And you said—’cause we asked for a picture—two minutes. One, two, and you were gone [laughs],” Nellie joked. Snoop laughed off the remark as the interview moved on to another topic. Snoop has been commentating on the 2024 Olympics for NBC and Peacock.

Additionally, he served as a torchbearer for the opening ceremony. Speaking about the honor afterward, he recalled seeing Muhammad Ali at the Olympics in 1996. “It was emotional for all of us to see the champ holding that torch and walking up there,” he said. “This is my own version of it. I don’t want to get too emotional, but I know that this is special. This says a lot about America as far as where we’re at in this world […] I would have never dreamed of nothing like this.” Check out the clip of Biles’ mom speaking with Snoop Dogg below.

Similar to professional sports, music is a competitive arena. The 2024 Paris Olympics has only heightened the tension in the air. But the lighthearted mashups of competitors in the games and music’s biggest stars has shown just how interwoven things are.

Last month, Snoop Dogg vowed to give up smoke (but for real this time) to cover the showdowns. Yesterday (July 1), SZA relived her inner gymnast dreams with Simone Biles.

In the pair’s sit down, SZA showed off her freakishly flexible skills in a friendly handstand battle. When asked about her abilities, the “Saturn” singer revealed to Biles that before pursuing a career in music, she trained to be a gymnast. Biles then asked what made her leave the life of an athlete behind.

“When it was clear to me that I wasn’t going to be a national gymnast,” she said. “I was like, ‘Ok, let me see what I can do. See what else I could do.”

SZA took to Instagram to share the episode and praise Biles. “I was SO honored to hang out with you, Simone Biles 🥹🤸🏾‍♀️🐐,” she wrote. “THIS FELT LIKE A FEVER DREAM. Good luck at your THIRD Olympic Games ! 🤞🏾🏅#ParisOlympics.”

Watch the full conversation behind SZA and Simone Biles below.
