He’s been the unlikely face of the Paris 2024 Olympic games, rocking up to several events including equestrian following his iconic turn holding the torch.
And Snoop Dogg was back at it on Saturday as he donned a snazzy patriotic Olympics-themed ensemble while taking in the Men’s Basketball Quarter Final.
The rapper, 52, was joined by WNBA star A’ja Wilson as they sat courtside to watch the USA take on Brazil in the nail-biting match at Paris’ Bercy Arena.
Snoop – real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. – looked to be thoroughly enjoying the game, with the hitmaker seen clapping and cheering in support of the players.
His support also extended to his outfit, with the white T-shirt and shorts adorned with the American flags as well as the Olympic rings emblem.

Completing his look, Snoop added red USA socks, a black flat cap, dark shades and a gold diamond-encrusted chain which featured the Eiffel tower.
Meanwhile A’ja, 28,put on a leggy display in white Ralph Lauren shorts and a matching polo top.
Snoop’s appearance comes after he borrowed a presidential tradition in the U.S. when he decided to give a surprise phone call to the ladies who medaled in the 200-meter final for Track and Field at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
‘Great job, ladies! Great job!’ the hip-hop legend, 52, can be heard telling the three ladies in a Facebook Reel shared to the official Team USA Track and Field account.
The video featured Gabby Thomas, who had just won the gold for Team USA, Julien Alfred, who made Saint Lucia proud by taking home silver, and Brittany Brown, the bronze winner who also represented Team USA.
Feeling excited over her accomplishments at the games and to be talking to the Doggystyle star himself, Brown made a point of letting the superstar rapper know she’s from Pomona, California, which is just 45 miles northeast of his hometown of Long Beach, California.
‘Snoop Dogg, I know you have a team in Pomona, California. I’m from Pomona. I’m just letting you know I’m from Pomona. IE, Pomona,’ Brown told the Gin And Juice star.
For which Snoop quickly replied: ‘You already know — most definitely. Y’all made me proud today.’
