US rapper Snoop Dogg also at the start at winter games
At Olympia in Paris, Snoop Dogg is the secret star. With his inimitable way and a pinch of humor, he reports about the games. Now he should also quote at the Winter Games 2026.
US rapper Snoop Dogg will again report as a correspondent of the Olympic Games. After his promised premiere at the summer games last year in Paris, the 53-year-old musician will also be deployed in Italy at the winter games next February, as the US broadcaster NBC announced.
With its unique and humorous way, Snoop Dogg is supposed to comment on competitions again, take part in events and create a mood together with the athletes on site. The Olympic Games begin on February 6th with the opening ceremony and ends on February 22nd.
Bring ice skates with you and become ice skating
“The Olympic Games are the biggest stage in the world. And as everyone knows, everything is about sport, bringing people together, combining and having fun at the same time,” said the US Megastar. “I will bring my buffer jackets, snow pants, ski glasses and ice skates,” added Snoop Dogg. And he will “definitely run on ice”.
The TV broadcaster NBC had signed Snoop Dogg for better odds. And that paid off properly, because the rapper delivered unforgettable pictures in Paris during his three weeks.
Among other things, the Californian wore the Olympic torch on the Seine in Paris, danced with the US gymnasts around Superstar Simone Biles, appeared in the rider outfit at dressage, fencing lessons and US swimming star Michael Phelps swimming lessons. The TV rate at NBC rose by almost 80 percent compared to Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Rapper is supposed to ensure a high TV quota again
The US broadcaster also had a lot of costs. Snoop Dogg is said to have received around $ 500,000 a day, for 16 days of the Olympics that was eight million dollars alone. In addition, he is said to have received a fee and a TV quota bonus. According to the “picture”, up to $ 15 million were possible.
Snoop Dogg, co-owner of the Welsh second division club Swansea City since July, had not only inspired the fans with his appearances in the French capital. The New York Times had titled him as the “NBC’s new voice of the people”. For his debut as a TV expert and sports commentator, Snoop Dogg, together with Martha Stewart, even received an Emmy, the most important television award in the world.
As early as 2021, Snoop Dogg was deployed as an Olympic rapporteur, but then from the studio in the USA and not on site.
