Why is Snoop Dogg all over the 2024 Olympics in Paris and where can I buy his Olympic Pin?

There is still a long time left before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games end, but we can say that Snoop Dogg has undoubtedly been one of the main attractions of this edition of the Olympics.

The American rapper attended the game’s opening ceremony and was honored to carry the Olympic flame. “I felt like Muhammad Ali. I found out that when you hold the torch, you’re a peace messenger,” said the celebrity. However, this was only one of many times we saw the Emmy Award winner in the biggest global sporting event.

During the women’s gymnastics qualifier rounds, Snoop was spotted cheering for the US team, and during swimmer Caleb Dressel’s 4x100 freestyle competition, he was screaming alongside Dressel’s wife, Meghan. “You got it, baby!” screamed the rapper.

As if the dose of humor were not enough, Snoop decided to swim alongside 23-time Olympic champion Michael Phelps. He also competed in a 200-meter exhibition race, dressed in American flag sweatpants, against two-time NCAA 200-meter champion Wallace Spearman.

Why is Snoop Dogg at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games?

The reason is straightforward: the rapper is fulfilling his job as NBC’s special correspondent at the Olympic Games, contributing his experiences and insights. Additionally, Snoop will spend time with the athletes representing the United States and their families during the show Primetime in Paris.

Among his most memorable comments, the events in badminton matches can be highlighted. With his characteristic humor, he took the lead as narrator in one of the game plays: “Gimme that. No, I need that. Nope, over here. Nope, over there. What about over there… Nope, sit down. Wait a minute, hold on…. Get out of the way! Move! I told you, we need that.”

How can I get Snoop Dogg’s Olympic Pin?

Like any big event, collectibles allow fans to always carry a special memory, and one of the ones that have caused the most sensation is the Olympic pin Snoop Dogg has been handing out to different Team USA athletes.

The pin consists of the rapper blowing out Olympic-style smoke rings. Tennis player Coco Gauff was one of those who received the precious item. “This is the best pin that I’ve ever gotten,” said the athlete on her social media.

As expected, fans are eager to know how to get the collectible, but unfortunately, the pin is not for sale to the general public. As Cllct.com has published, the pin is not licensed by the IOC, so it cannot be obtained as official merchandise.
