Snoop Dogg, the iconic hip-hop artist, has been chosen to be one of the torchbearers for the upcoming Paris Olympics. This is in addition to his commentary duties for NBC during the games. It has been confirmed that he will be carrying the Olympic flame through the streets of Saint-Denis on July 26, leading up to the opening ceremony at the Stade de France Olympic Stadium.
The news was announced by the town's mayor, Mathieu Hanotin, on social media. He expressed his excitement about having Snoop Dogg as part of the final journey of the Olympic flame, and also mentioned that there will be a live concert by French singer Slimane at the Basilica in Saint-Denis, which will be broadcasted on @FranceTV.
Snoop Dogg has been keeping busy leading up to the Paris Olympics. In addition to his NBC duties, he also participated in the U.S. Olympic Team track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon last month. He ran in the 200-meter race alongside seasoned professional sprinters such as four-time Olympic medalist Ato Bolden and multiple medal winner Wallace Spearmon. While he didn't win, Snoop did finish the race in 34.44 seconds, coming in third place.
But before he heads off to Paris, Snoop had some business to take care of in his home state of California. He opened his first cannabis store, S.W.E.D., which stands for "Smoke Weed Every Day" and is a reference to a line in Dr. Dre's song "The Next Episode." The store, located near the Los Angeles International Airport, opened on July 14 and has been a success so far.
It's safe to say that Snoop Dogg is ready for the Paris Olympics, both as a commentator and a torchbearer. Fans can't wait to see him in action and support the athletes as they compete for Olympic glory.
