Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav: The Olympics’ Top Cheerleaders
The Olympics just wouldn’t be the same without a dash of celebrity flair. The 2024 Paris Olympics has had its fair share of stars supporting Team USA, but let’s be real: no one’s brought the hype quite like Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav.
These two iconic rappers have been making waves all over Paris, quickly becoming the ultimate cheerleaders for our Olympians. Even before the Games kicked off, X (formerly Twitter) was buzzing when Snoop lit up the Olympic torch during the opening ceremonies.
In a video from the women’s gymnastics qualification on Sunday (July 28), Simone Biles spots someone in the crowd, and the next thing you know, she’s busting a move with her teammate Jordan Chiles. As the NBC announcers try to figure out why the duo suddenly started grooving on the competition floor, the camera zooms in on Snoop Dogg, who’s seated in the stands, sparking an impromptu dance party.
Snoop even caught up with Michael Phelps to snag some swimming tips from the American icon and 23-time gold medalist in a video shared by NBC Sports on Monday (July 29). “Now MP, how does one get fast in the pool?” Snoop asked. Phelps pointed out a few key factors: “Wingspan, lung power.”
Snoop was all in, thinking it was a perfect fit. “You said wingspan, lung power — I definitely have lung power,” Snoop Dogg joked. “Our bodies are similar, Mike, we could be twins!”
Fans couldn’t get enough of his hilarious commentary during the badminton showdown between USA and China. “Oh I love this badminton right here. This is a great rally here between China and the U.S. right here. As you see, it don’t stop ’till the casket drop. They rockin’ and rollin’ back and forth. Give me that. No, I need that. Nope, over here,” he playfully narrated.
Flavor Flav has been lighting up social media too. Most recently, he’s been sponsoring the U.S.
Women’s Water Polo team with a five-year deal to help the team with their financial struggles.
The rapper, along with Spike Lee, showed some love to the U.S. Women’s Water Polo Team.
Flavor Flav and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden crossed paths at the Paris Olympics during a U.S. women’s water polo match against Greece, where the two shared a hug.
He didn’t stop there though. Flavor Flav also cheered on the U.S. Women’s Rugby team. NBC Sports shared a video of him chanting his support. “Flavor Flav at the rugby game baby! USA all the way! What can I say? Rugby we play! We gonna win this G!” he exclaimed.
