Snoop Dogg may not have been competing in the Paris Olympics, but if there were a gold medal for commentary, he’d be taking home a solid victory. When he joined NBC’s Olympic coverage on December 31, 2023, everyone knew the hip-hop icon would bring the hype—after all, he did the same thing during the Tokyo Games. But little did we know, his presence would be a game-changer, helping NBC soar to an average of 34 million viewers a day, a huge leap from the 19 million seen during Tokyo. Talk about making waves! Snoop didn’t just stick to the sidelines, though. He was everywhere! From the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower. But it wasn’t just sightseeing—he was spotted soaking up the action with none other than Simone Biles.

One unforgettable moment came when the two of them were cheering on Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone as she raced. Biles even admitted it was the first time she’d watched other Olympic events, and she loved it. As for Snoop, he was all about supporting Simone, calling her the GOAT before the Games. It’s clear that fun was the theme of Snoop’s Olympic stint—but the real question is: How does he really feel about being in the Olympics?

Snoop Dogg lived out a childhood dream at the Paris Olympics

Amid an enthusiastically charged crowd, Snoop Dogg opened up about his Olympic experience, and the love just kept flowing. With a shimmy and a hand raised to show love signs, the audience at the Jennifer Hudson Show couldn’t help but shower him with affection. In response, Snoop said, “You know what? I leave with love, Jay. I leave with the love thing, and that’s like, it comes right back at me. It’s like whatever you throw out usually comes back.” And that explains the wave of love and admiration he received during the Olympics. So, what was it like to be there?

Snoop didn’t hold back, beaming as he shared, “I’m gonna be honest with you, Jen. I was like the biggest kid at the Olympics, you know what I’m saying? I was able to do things that I dreamed of doing, and the NBC family allowed me to, you know, exercise my skill set and really just bring love and joy.” And bring that love and joy, he did! His hilarious commentary and high-energy antics made those Olympic events truly unforgettable.

From carrying the Olympic Torch to mixing it up with horses in the equestrian paddock, Snoop’s electrifying coverage kept the energy high. He even took some swimming tips from legend Michael Phelps, adding his twist of humor. And let’s not forget his hilarious sarcasm during the men’s doubles badminton match—if you didn’t laugh, were you even watching? Of course, his time with Simone Biles was just another highlight in a series of unforgettable moments.

When Simone Biles dropped Uncle Snoop’s jaw

Simone Biles not only bagged three Olympic Golds and a Silver but also made a lasting impression on Snoop Dogg. The WWE Hall of Famer was left absolutely speechless as he watched the gymnast phenom execute a jaw-dropping floor routine. Decked out in a Biles T-shirt, Snoop’s sunglasses pushed up, his eyes wide and practically popping out of his head in shock, made up for a viral meme. Snoop Dogg, clearly in awe, shared his amazement on The Jennifer Hudson Show. “I love that! What was happening there? What did you see?” Jennifer Hudson asked. Snoop, still reeling from the spectacle, replied, “Simone Biles jumped about 13 feet in the air.”

Biles soared to an insane 12-foot jump, higher than some of the NBA’s best players! And here’s the crazy part—Simone is only 4’8″ tall. If you subtract her height from that 12-foot leap, she cleared a stunning 7’4″, taller than the towering Victor Wembanyama, one of the tallest NBA players.

After the Paris Olympics, Snoop made a special appearance on Simone’s father’s birthday, gifting him a custom Death Row Records chain. Plus, after raking in a substantial sum, Snoop Dogg has teamed up with Simone for an exciting new partnership. Snoop is serving as a first-time coach on NBC’s The Voice, and guess who’s joined him? Simone Biles joined The Voice as a playoff advisor for Snoop Dogg’s team in Season 26.

Her role is crucial in helping contestants with strategies for stress management and building stage confidence—skills she mastered during her legendary gymnastics career. “We were able to riff off each other and give the artists the best insight going into the next round,” Biles shared. “It was pretty easy, simple. We’re both very mellow. But if we need to bring that energy up, then we can. For us, it was about instilling confidence going into the next week.” Indeed a full-circle moment!
