Guess who’s back in the muthaf@(!n house? Yep, it’s Snoop Dogg! The Doggfather—who’s already a best-selling artist, savvy entrepreneur, and a constant face across entertainment—has been picked to carry the Olympic torch through the streets of Saint-Denis in northern Paris this Friday, just in time for the opening ceremony.
Saint-Denis, where you’ll find the Olympic Stadium and Aquatics Centre, is set for an iconic moment. Snoop Dogg won’t be doing this solo; he’s teaming up with some big French names like actress Laetitia Casta and rapper MC Solaar for the final stretch. This star-studded lineup just shows how the Olympics unite people from all over the globe, amping up the excitement to the max.
But wait, there’s more! Snoop Dogg’s role in the 2024 Olympics goes beyond the torch relay. He’s also snagged a gig as a commentator with NBC during the events, bringing his unique vibe and perspective to the coverage. Just another feather in his already loaded cap.

The Olympic torch has been on a two-month adventure across France, hitting 68 different spots before its grand arrival at the opening ceremony. The only other American torchbearer in 2024 so far is Jason Bonfig, a senior exec at Best Buy. Bonfig’s involvement shows how torchbearers come from all walks of life.
As we count down to the opening ceremony, there’s one big question: who’s gonna light the Olympic cauldron in the Tuileries Gardens? Even Tony Estanguet, the organizing committee president, says the chosen one doesn’t know about their pivotal role yet. That surprise factor just adds to the buzz!
Snoop Dogg’s stint as a torchbearer not only highlights his massive influence but also captures the inclusivity and celebration that the Olympics stand for. His journey through Saint-Denis is set to be a major highlight leading up to what promises to be an epic opening ceremony.
Stay tuned for more updates and don’t miss Snoop Dogg’s commentary during the events. The 2024 Olympics are shaping up to be unforgettable, with stars from all over the world coming together to celebrate athletic excellence and global unity.
