Snoop Dogg was all smiles on Thursday as he served as the penultimate Olympic torchbearer, carrying the flame through Paris and frequently beholding its majesty.
Snoop was originally announced as an Olympic torchbearer earlier this week, and his journey was set to take place in Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis, past the Stade de France, the new Olympic Aquatics Center, and a section of the Olympic Village. As you can imagine, the rapper was met with plenty of cheers from Parisian fans who watched Snoop carry the torch.

He’s not just a participant in the torch-lighting tradition this year either — Snoop Dogg is a full on Olympics correspondent this year with NBC, and will be both in-studio and on the ground seeking the biggest storylines of the 2024 summer games. Check out photos from Snoop Dogg’s stint carrying the Olympic torch ahead of the opening ceremony.
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris began this week, but the opening ceremony goes down in Paris today starting at 1:30 p.m. EST.
