Snoop Dogg, the legendary rapper, is known for his endless list of side quests. From carrying the torch at the Paris 2024 Olympics to launching a rosé wine at Co-op, he never fails to surprise us with his weird and wonderful endeavors. Recently, on July 26, he made headlines as he proudly carried the Olympic torch through Saint-Denis, in the North of Paris.
While some may question his involvement in a sporting competition, Snoop Dogg, who is 52 years old, has another major role in the Olympics. He is a special US correspondent for NBC and has promised to bring his signature "Snoop style" to the job. In a press release on January 1, 2024, the rapper, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., exclaimed, "It's going to be the most epic Olympics ever, so stay tuned, and keep it locked. Let's elevate, celebrate, and make these games unforgettable, smoke the competition, and may the best shine like gold. Peace and Olympic LOVE, ya dig?"
But this isn't the first time Snoop Dogg has ventured outside of his rap career. In 2023, he launched a rosé wine at Co-op, claiming it paired well with spicy chicken wings. And that's not all, he also released a cookbook called From Crook to Cook in 2018. In 2016, he even launched a cooking show called Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party with chef Martha Stewart. But his love for food doesn't stop there, as he was also seen working shifts at Raising Cane's for a comedy special with the American fast food chain in 2021. Snoop, who is friends with the owner Todd Graves, was more than happy to lend a helping hand.
Apart from his foodie ventures, Snoop Dogg has also explored other fields. He surprised fans by singing in a gospel choir as part of a Superbowl Celebration Concert for his album Snoop Dogg Presents Bible of Love. Although he was criticized for releasing gospel songs after a successful rap career, Snoop responded, "This is not a money-driven project - it's a spirit-driven project."
The rapper has also made appearances on several game shows, both as a host and a contestant. In the past twenty years, he has been seen on shows like Celebrity Blackjack, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, The Price is Right, Celebrity Family Feud, and The $100,000 Pyramid. In 2017, he became the host of The Joker's Wild.
But Snoop Dogg's interests don't just end with music and TV. He is a lifelong fan of WWE wrestling and has even taken to the ring to pummel opponents. In fact, he has appeared in three WrestleMania events and has also hosted fights. He is also a fan of other sports like baseball and basketball, where he has thrown the first pitch for the Brewers and joined the team in the broadcast booth. He even has a tattoo on his arm dedicated to the Lakers basketball team and Kobe Bryant.
Snoop Dogg's talents also extend to the big screen. He has appeared in a multitude of films and TV series, including Training Day, Scary Movie 5, Pitch Perfect 2, The L Word, and The Addams Family. While he has mostly played himself in these on-screen appearances, he has also taken on character roles and has never shied away from random acting challenges.
However, there are some gigs that Snoop Dogg has turned down. In January, it was reported that he turned down a $100,000,000 deal with OnlyFans as he didn't want to upset his wife, Shante Broadus. In an Instagram Live interview with actor Slink Johnson on Wake & Bake with Double S Express, he revealed, "They were like, 'OnlyFans wants you to come on there, Snoop... you can do about $100 million. All you gotta do is pull that thang out.' I'm like, 'N***a, I got a Black wife, n***a.' Ain't no way in the world she gonna allow me to go on there and pull that thang out for no amount of money."
With his never-ending list of side quests, Snoop Dogg continues to surprise and entertain us with his unique talents and ventures. Whether it's carrying the Olympic torch or hosting a cooking show, he always brings his signature "Snoop style" to everything he does. And we can't wait to see what he'll do next!
