The "Doggystyle" rapper is set to provide his distinctive take on the Summer Olympics in Paris, visit famous landmarks and interview the athletes.
Snoop Dogg, a hip-hop icon and former Martha Stewart cohort, has got a brand new bag.
The “Doggystyle” rapper has been officially hired by NBC as “special correspondent” for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, and will not only provide his distinctive take on the competitions but also visit famous landmarks and interview the athletes.
The news was first announced at halftime during “Sunday Night Football’s” coverage of the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings game on NBC and its Peacock platform.
Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, has since confirmed the new gig himself.
“I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible athletes bring their A-game to Paris,” he told several outlets in a statement Sunday. “It’s a celebration of skill, dedication and the pursuit of greatness.”
