The Olympic torch gets a funky twist as Snoop Dogg struts through the drizzle in Saint-Denis. Join us for some cheerful Olympic vibes!

In a stunning blend of hip-hop royalty and Olympic tradition, Snoop Dogg took to the streets of Paris, gracefully toting the Olympic torch on a damp Friday in Saint-Denis. With his signature swagger and unyielding mask of chill, the legendary rapper made the perfect torchbearer for the upcoming 2024 Olympic Games. As he strutted around the Stade de France, one couldn’t help but ponder if at any moment he might whip out a lighter—though, let’s be honest, we all know that particular flame shouldn't be lit just yet!

But Snoop's appearances are about more than just carrying the torch. After his wildly popular commentary during the Tokyo 2020 Games, where he became an unexpected darling of the sports broadcasting sphere, he’s back at it as a special correspondent for NBC this time around. With the Olympic games set against the majestic backdrop of the City of Light, viewers can expect some delightful commentary peppered with Snoop’s unique brand of charm, wit, and, let’s face it, probably a few chuckles.

Snoop Dogg's participation highlights NBC's bold strategy to mix traditional sporting events with some of today’s coolest personalities, aiming to attract a younger audience. He's already got social media buzzing with memes poking fun at the iconic rapper lighting up Paris, albeit with restrictions to his regular kind of entertaining fun. Who knew Snoop could carry an Olympic torch without igniting it? That’s Olympic spirit right there!

While we eagerly anticipate Snoop’s amazing commentary, we’ll also be in high spirits as we watch the torch symbolize hope, unity, and the thrill of competition pass from one participant to another. And if you’re wondering how he melds sports and hip-hop—remember, Snoop once dubbed himself the ‘Sports Commentating 2.0’! There’s no doubt he’ll be ready to elevate the games into a new echelon of fun.

Did you know that since the Olympics began in ancient Greece, torch relays have been a symbol of the Games? Also, Snoop holds a Guinness World Record for being the most featured artist on other tracks! Together, these facts add a little extra shine to Snoop's torch-bearing adventure!
