Snoop Dogg at the helm of the Olympic Games on NBC

NBC's choice of Snoop Dogg as commentator for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games came as a surprise to many. It's not the first time the American rapper and icon has been involved in the world of sport, but his role in Paris will certainly be unique.

An unexpected announcement

Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg had officially announced his new role as commentator for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games via a tweet published on January 1. The full announcement was made during halftime of an NFL game between Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. The news sparked a wave of excitement and curiosity among sports fans.

When we talk about Snoop Dogg, it's usually more for his music or his involvement in veganism or cannabis, but this isn't the first time Snoop Dogg has commented on sporting events. Back in 2021, he caused a stir in the U.S. by commenting on the Tokyo Olympics alongside American comedian Kevin Hart on the Peacock streaming service. His unique style and humor won over viewers.

A full schedule of activities

During his stay in Paris, Snoop Dogg won't just be commenting on the competitions. According to NBC, he will also be exploring the French capital's iconic landscapes. Numerous meetings are planned with athletes, their families and friends.

In addition to providing commentary, Snoop Dogg will have the opportunity to participate in various Olympic events and official ceremonies, bringing his personal touch to these memorable moments.

Audiences are already enthusiastic

Molly Solomon, Executive Producer and President of NBC Olympic Production, says Snoop Dogg will bring a unique perspective to the primetime Olympic show. “He's extremely fun and has a definite personality,” she said.

Jim Fox, a former NHL player who once shared the microphone with Snoop Dogg, praises his intelligence and sports experience. “He's really impressive,” he said, adding that his speeches are likely to be spectacular.

An unforgettable event

Snoop Dogg promises to make the Paris 2024 Olympic Games unforgettable with his trademark “Snoop style“. “We're going to elevate, celebrate and make these games unforgettable, smoke the competition, and let the best shine like gold,” he confided with his inimitable style.

Although nothing has yet been confirmed, some speculate that Snoop Dogg could interact with renowned French singers such as Kendji Girac, Vianney or Vitaa. We could also imagine a meeting between Snoop Dogg and Booba to discuss cannabis and perhaps Booba's new project to launch his own brand of cannabis-based products. These encounters could add an even more festive dimension to the event.
