Snoop Dogg turned heads as he donned an Olympics tracksuit to serve as a torchbearer ahead of the July 26 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. The rapper continued to make headlines throughout the global sporting event with his custom T-shirts celebrating Team USA Olympians.
While watching the Olympics and providing televised commentary for NBC, Snoop Dogg wore white shirts featuring popular Team USA athletes. The new coach on The Voice sported shirts with the faces of gymnast Simone Biles and tennis star Coco Gauff, who represented Team USA as a flagbearer alongside NBA star LeBron James.
NBC Sports shared a video of Snoop Dogg in his Biles shirt, captioning it, “We’re giving Snoop Dogg’s shirt a perfect 10.” The following day, Gauff took notice of Snoop’s custom shirt featuring her image. She posted a picture with the caption, “Snoop has good fashion,” and shared another slide of Snoop with tennis legend Billie Jean King and other athletes, adding, “didn’t get a pic with Snoop but I was there in spirit,” referring to her face on his shirt.
In a joint video posted by the United States Tennis Association, Team USA, and the Women’s Tennis Association, Snoop Dogg presented Gauff with a pin featuring himself blowing smoke in the shape of the Olympic rings. In an Instagram clip, Snoop stated, “Got something for you, beautiful. This is for you. Great game today. Go, USA,” to which Gauff replied, “Hey, Mr. Snoop. Thanks for this pin. This is the best pin I’ve ever gotten.”
Despite not being a professional athlete, Snoop Dogg remains heavily involved in sports. He coaches football and operates the Snoop Youth Football League. Earlier this year, he continued to inspire young athletes with his commitment to youth sports.
Snoop Dogg’s presence at the Olympics not only highlighted his love for sports but also showcased his unique style and support for Team USA, making him a standout figure during the Summer Games.
