Gymnastics Star Takes a Rhythmic Route With Snoop Dogg After Team USA?s Road to Paris Shoot

The 2023 gymnastics season had a dramatic ending. After epic comeback performances all year and hair-raising feats, these athletes calibrated their paths to the Olympics in a photoshoot session. Former Olympians like Sunisa Lee and Jordan Chiles brought their own brand of glamour to the event. Post their time before the camera, these legendary athletes had the mind-blowing opportunity to spend some time with the musical genius Snoop Dogg. While Lee and Chiles did justice to the rare opportunity, it was another gymnast bearing the moniker “Flips” who took the limelight.

Snoop Dogg has been making appearances to promote his recent business venture in the cereals industry. Nevertheless, he did not expect to become a mentor and judge to gymnastics ace Frederick Nathaniel Richard. Was he able to impress the rap star?

Frederick ?Flips? Richard tries his rapping skills with Snoop Dogg

Fred Richard was keen on impressing Snoop Dogg with his rapping skills. In a video uploaded by the 2023 World all-around bronze medalist on his Instagram, he tried his best to earn praise from the musical sensation. In the exciting rap session, he “completely failed” in the first attempt. Snoop Dogg turned into his mentor and explained the importance of blocking out doubts and staying true to oneself in the rap game. Following this expert advice, Fred Richard could satisfactorily deliver a whole new rap verse describing himself. He was pleased with his improvement and captioned the video, “How’d I do” to elicit more praise from his fans.

Snoop Dogg not only taught him the secret to his self-confidence but also showed him the proper hand gestures to enhance his performance. The ?Drop It Like It?s Hot? rapper brought an extra dose of liveliness and levity to the occasion by teasing the gymnast for his awkward hand movements. But what transpired next was more unexpected than anyone could have expected.

Rapper’s serious lesson to gymnast

Many believed the rap session to conclude with laughter and jokes, but Snoop Dogg suddenly turned very serious. He wished to impart his wisdom to Fred Richard and took him through the nitty gritty of a rap performance. Dogg showed him how both feet and hand coordination matter for the projection of confidence on the stage. Fred Richard followed suit and freestyled the verse with a little more gumption.
