Rapper Snoop Dogg embarked on a notable venture at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, serving as one of the standout non-athletic personalities thanks to a lucrative deal with NBC to provide content and commentary.
Snoop Dogg’s support for Team USA spans all events, enhancing his visibility during the Games.
Snoop Dogg’s affinity for marijuana is no secret. He famously displayed it during his Super Bowl LVI halftime performance. While supporting the USA basketball team against Brazil in the quarterfinals at the Paris Olympics, he handed a small “pack” to WNBA star A’ja Wilson.
Snoop thoroughly enjoys his time at the Olympics, engaging in various activities. He’s been learning to swim with Michael Phelps and overcoming his fear of horses with Martha Stewart’s help. He was spotted alongside A’Ja Wilson, enjoying a break after propelling the U.S. women’s basketball team to the final rounds.
During the men’s quarterfinal basketball game, in which the U.S. won 122-87 against Brazil, Snoop Dogg and A’ja Wilson watched comfortably. Snoop discreetly passed a “package” to Wilson, which was likely just candy, demonstrating his prudence by avoiding any behaviour that could lead to trouble at such a high-profile event.
Despite his past bold actions in various settings, Snoop, as an NBC host and a prominent figure in American music, is not jeopardizing his role or his significant earnings by engaging in prohibited activities at the Olympics.
