Snoop Dogg has been a prominent figure at the 2024 Paris Olympics, thanks to his role as a special correspondent for NBC.
Following his successful stint during the 2021 Tokyo Games, Snoop has been making waves in Paris. According to Henry McNamara on X, NBC is paying Snoop $500K per day and covering all his expenses, which are likely substantial given his lifestyle.
This arrangement underscores NBC’s high regard for the legendary rapper.
Snoop was one of the final torchbearers, carrying the Olympic torch through the streets of Saint-Denis alongside Pharrell Williams.
Throughout the Games, Snoop has been spotted at various events, including gymnastics, basketball, swimming, and equestrian competitions.
His enthusiastic support for American athletes is evident, often donning shirts featuring past and present U.S. Olympians.
If McNamara's report is accurate, NBC’s investment in Snoop's appearances is significant.
This isn't Snoop's first time covering the Summer Olympics.
He served as a correspondent during the Tokyo 2021 Games, co-hosting the successful Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg.
This success led to his special correspondent role in Paris.
Hart is also back this year, hosting the highlights show with Saturday Night Live star Kenan Thompson.
Looking ahead, the 2028 Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, Snoop Dogg's hometown.
It's expected that NBC will bring him back for his third consecutive Olympic Games.
For now, fans can enjoy Snoop's numerous appearances around Paris as the 2024 Olympic Games continue until August 11.
