One of the world’s greatest athletes will be joining Snoop Dogg in his quest to find new talent. Simone Biles will be joining The Voice as a guest mentor.
As spotted on The Grio the American Olympian is taking her talents to the entertainment industry. This week the Spring, TX native announced that she will be appearing on the reality television series to assist the “Next Episode” rapper. In a recent interview with The Associated Press she revealed how the taping went. “We were able to riff off each other and give the artists the best insight going into the next round,” the gymnast explained.
To hear her tell it the offer checked a lot of boxes for her. “It was pretty easy, simple,” she said. “We’re both very mellow. But if we need to bring that energy up, then we can. For us, it was about instilling confidence going into the next week.” While winners can recognize other winners she did admit that she is taking the opportunity serious and took the time out to get an understanding on her role and the expectations that come with it. “These are the learning steps: Learn, process, go back in and work,” she added. “They all have the vocal talent. It’s about harnessing that, knowing when to bring it out and which songs to sing and which genre you fit in. And what you want your legacy to be. This is truly a special show as well as the judging. They don’t get to see the physical appearance first. It’s all off of ears, listening and putting their craft together as well.”
Simone Biles and Snoop Dogg’s chemistry dates back to the Paris Olympics. The two had several fun moments during the games including some banter that went viral. Additionally, Snoop gifted her father Ronald Boles a Deathrow Records pendant. You can see her debut as the Team Snoop Playoffs Advisor on Monday, Nov. 25 on NBC.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg will remain linked forever musically and their undeniable chemistry was once more on display during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics. In a new interview, Dr. Dre teased that the long-promised Missionary album with Snoop Dogg could see a release this November.
Dr. Dre, 59, spoke with Entertainment Tonight about his surprise performance with Snoop Dogg as the Summer Olympics concluded in Paris with the games taking place in Los Angeles, Calif. in 2028. The pre-recorded performance of “The Next Episode” was done with an “LA 28” backdrop in Snoop’s hometown of Long Beach. The concert also featured appearances from H.E.R., Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and Billie Eilish.
The ET chat opened with the producer praising Snoop for bringing him out of his usual reclusive state in the studio to create magic onstage. Dre did make certain to let it be known that when it comes to producing and creating, he’s the “captain” to use his words but once more showed deference to the Doggfather for his ability to perform.
Later in the discussion, Dre shares details of his work on Missionary, which was initially billed as a followup to Snoop’s debut album Doggystyle on its 30th anniversary, which occurred in November of 2023. Dre’s goal now is to finish mixing between 14 to 16 songs for Missionary by September 1 to have it ready to go in November.
Other great points raised during the Dr. Dre interview were his views on the breaking competition in the Summer Olympics, his aspirations to join the games as an archer, and more.

Snoop Dogg became quite the fixture at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, employing his affable charm and eternal smooth image at will. It should safely be assumed that Snoop Dogg isn’t doing the Summer Olympics gig at a pro bono rate, and it’s being reported that he stands to rake in millions for his contributions.
Snoop Dogg, as we’ve said in these pages previously, might be the most recognizable public figure in the United States, if not the world. The Doggfather brought his signature cool to the Paris Games starting on July 26 with an epic showing as a torchbearer for the opening of the Summer Olympics that won’t be soon forgotten.

According to venture capitalist Henry L. McNamara, Snoop, 52, is making six figures daily for his time in Paris but we will continue to state that these reports remain unconfirmed.

“Sat next to an NBC exec at dinner, he said Snoop gets paid $500k a day plus expenses to be here promoting Olympics. From Gin and Juice to a few million to be a celebrity at the Olympics – what a world,” McNamara wrote on X on Sunday (August 4).
McNamara’s quip should be taken with a grain of salt as it isn’t expected that Snoop or NBC would want to reveal such detail to the public. That said, the expert job Snoop has done in getting involved with all aspects of Olympics coverage is commendable and he should be handsomely compensated. Further, there exists a relationship between the major broadcasting network and the rapper as Snoop worked as a judge on the hit series The Voice.

From donning full equestrian gear to hopping in the pool with swimming legend Michael Phelps and exchanging words with Team USA’s women’s gymnastics team, NBC has gotten a lot of content and mileage out of the Long Beach, Calif. legend so perhaps the $8 million Snoop Dogg is slated to earn isn’t that much of a stretch once you tally up the 17 days of service.
The 2024 Summer Olympics will have its closing ceremonies on August 11.

Snoop Dogg has spoken out about his special bond with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
In an interview with U.K. radio station Capital FM, the rapper sat down for tea at the posh Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park Hotel in London with interviewer Jordan North, where they touched on the “Gin and Juice” hitmaker’s relationship with the longest-reigning British Monarch.
“I’ll go by the palace, see if they let me in,” he said during the interview on July 23, presumably referring to Buckingham Palace. North replied, “Well, I’ve heard the future king, William, is a huge Snoop fan.”

“Well, the Queen was a fan too,” Snoop remarked, adding, “Rest in peace to the Queen, that was my girl. You know what I’m saying? So, just may want to go up and, you know, see what you do.”

This isn’t the first time Snoop has spoken about the Queen. In a 2015 interview published in The Guardian, he revealed that Queen Elizabeth II had intervened in his deportation from the U.K. amid calls for him to be kicked out of the country while he was touring back in 1994.
“When they tried to kick me out of England, the Queen made a comment that her grandbabies loved Snoop Doggy Dogg, and he had done no wrong in the U.K., so she gave me permission to be here,” he shared.
Snoop added, “Those grandbabies grew up to be Prince William and Harry, so I had influence on them, and they had influence on their grandmother, which enabled me to get into this beautiful country. They love my music, and it is what it is. There’s a mutual love and respect.”
Elsewhere in the Capital FM interview, Snoop spoke about another one of his unlikely friends – Martha Stewart.
As Jordan showed Snoop the ropes when it came to high tea etiquette, the rap star quipped, “Oh etiquette is key, I have a friend named Martha Stewart who loves teaching me that word etiquette. Yeah, in the hood we don’t have etiquette, we just get cracking, like a breakfast egg.”
In more Snoop-related news, the artist-turned-unofficial Olympic Ambassador has been busy exploring everything the Paris 2024 Olympics has to offer.
He has been a fan-favorite correspondent all over NBC broadcasts, providing lively coverage of the 2024 Olympic Games.
Recently, he caught up with swimming icon and 23-time gold medalist Michael Phelps for some tips in a video shared by NBC Sports on Monday (July 29). The 52-year-old has been spotted across the Olympic Village, cheering on gymnastics competitions, chatting with Simone Biles’ mother, and serving as an official torchbearer for the United States.

If we know anything about Snoop Dogg it’s that he’ll always have a lighter on him of some sort, but he’s taking his flame-baring skills to another level during the Olympics as he’s been chosen to be one of the last torchbearers of the Olympic flame when the Olympic Games get underway in Paris this weekend.
Months after it was revealed that Snoop Lion (people don’t call him that enough) would be a commentator for the Olympic Games, Deadline is reporting that he will indeed be partaking in history when he carries the Olympic torch in Paris in a few days. Truth be told, we can’t wait to see it with our own eyes. Will he run with it, walk with it, or roll with it in a 6-4? We don’t know, but we hope he makes it without dropping it or using it to light a blunt. On second thought, we’d like to see him use it to light a spliff. They don’t call him Snoop Lion for nothing.
Per Deadline:
Local media reported that Snoop Dog will carry the flame during its penultimate leg on Friday around the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, which is hosting part of the Olympic Village and is also home to Stade de France and the new Olympic Aquatics Centre.
The flame will then be head onto the Olympic cauldron in the Tuileries Gardens in central Paris, its final destination for the duration of the 2024 Olympics.
French personalities set to carry the flame on Friday include rapper MC Solaar, actress Laeticia Casta, Saint Omer film director Alice Diop, Paralympian Charles-Antoine Kouakou and rugby player Abdelatif Benazzi.
The identity of the final torchbearer has yet to be announced.
Yeah, this gives us more reason to tune into the Olympics opening ceremony this Friday. We wonder if he’s practicing how to carry it or if he’s just going to freestyle it once they pass him the torch. Either way, we’ll be watching as will the rest of the world.
Don’t f*ck this up, Snoop!!
