Snoop Dogg Gifts Simone Biles’ Dad a Death Row Chain for His Birthday
Written by djfrosty on August 9, 2024
The 2024 Summer Olympics have given Snoop Dogg so much, and he’s returning the favor while spreading the love in Paris.
While Snoop was hanging with Simone Biles and her family on Thursday (Aug. 8), the star gymnast’s dad was celebrating his 75th birthday. Snoop Dogg came bearing gifts and gave Mr. Ronald Biles a new Death Row chain.
Simone posted a photo to her Instagram Story featuring her dad rocking the gold chain with a birthday cake, while her sister Adria also put up a clearer picture of the new ice. “Snoop gave him a chain now he don’t know how to act,” Adria wrote. “75 looks great on you! happy birthday I love you.”
Simone Biles was in attendance alongside Snoop for a track and field event, which she reveals is the first Olympic contest she’s ever gone to that wasn’t her own gymnastics competition.

“I’ve actually never watched any other event before, so this is my first time. Yeah, ever,” she told Snoop Dogg.
Snoop has had a few viral moments with Simone and the Biles family throughout the Olympics. The celebrated gymnast and teammate Jordan Chiles noticed someone dancing in the crowd at a qualification round on July 28 and quickly realized it was indeed Snoop Dogg, who hit a few moves and showed off his Biles T-shirt, before the two athletes joined in the moves from the floor.
The Biles family doesn’t forget, and Simone’s mother, Nellie Biles, recalled a time in 2010 when they were visiting NYC and saw Snoop, who spurned them for a photo opportunity in Times Square. “We asked for a picture and you said, ‘Two minutes.’ One, two and you were gone,” she reminded Snoop during a chat with the rapper and Today show’s Hoda Kotb.
Simone Biles continues to add to her legacy as the most decorated gymnast in history at the 2024 Olympics, where she’s snagged three gold medals and a silver.
