Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre Bring Long Beach Vibes to Paris for 2024 Olympic Closing Ceremony

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre added a touch of Long Beach flair to the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, leaving an indelible mark on the global event. The iconic West Coast duo pre-recorded a performance in Long Beach, California, which was broadcast as part of the grand finale, capturing the attention of millions around the world.

The short but electrifying performance not only celebrated the end of an incredible Olympic journey but also set the stage for the next chapter— the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Snoop and Dre’s appearance was a fitting teaser for what’s to come, with fans eagerly anticipating the LA28 Games.

The show kicked off with Snoop Dogg delivering a beachside rendition of his classic hit, “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” As the beat dropped, the camera transitioned to a stage where Dr. Dre joined him for a powerful performance of “The Next Episode.” The energy was palpable, reminding everyone of the enduring influence of these two legends.

Snoop Dogg, who took on the role of a special correspondent for NBC during the Olympics, added his unique charm to the coverage. According to reports, Snoop was handsomely compensated for his work, earning a staggering $500,000 per day, plus expenses, as he brought his West Coast swagger to the global stage.

In addition to his on-air duties, Snoop tried his hand at various Olympic sports, showcasing his versatility and sense of humor. One of the highlights was a fencing match against American Olympic fencer Miles Chamley-Watson. Dressed in full fencing gear, complete with a star-and-stripes mask, Snoop faced off against the 13-time Pan American champion. Despite being outmatched, Snoop’s quick wit and playful banter made the encounter a memorable one.

At one point, Snoop humorously called for a timeout, saying, “Hold up! Time out! Back that ass up!” as he defended against Chamley-Watson’s relentless attacks. But soon enough, Snoop found his rhythm and even went on the offensive, surprising his opponent with some unexpected moves.

Chamley-Watson, impressed by Snoop’s effort, took to Instagram to express his admiration. “What an amazing day playing with my new Dawg!! @snoopdogg. Such a fun legend. We’re just getting started, and let me tell you, my guy is a natural. I think you’re ready for the Olympics. Stay tuned!”

Snoop Dogg’s presence at the Olympics brought a fresh and entertaining perspective, seamlessly blending his larger-than-life personality with the competitive spirit of the Games. He not only mingled with Team USA’s star athletes but also brought joy and laughter to fans watching from home.

Adding to his Olympic legacy, Snoop Dogg was even entrusted with carrying the Olympic torch for his hometown during the opening ceremony, where he famously performed his signature Crip Walk, paying homage to the city that shaped him.

As the world looks forward to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have already set the tone, promising an unforgettable experience that blends music, culture, and athletic excellence.

The countdown to LA28 has officially begun, and if Snoop and Dre’s performance is any indication, the world is in for a spectacular ride.
