SNOOP DOGG STEALING THE SHOW
Written by Ella Melake on August 4, 2024
Since the beginning of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Snoop Dogg has been everywhere showing his support for athletes and in many sports as well.
He has been dubbed an unofficial mascot of the Olympics and has been described by many as a man who looks like “a proud dad”.
With every sport, he has a wardrobe that ensures he is seen not just by spectators but also, the USA athletes.
One particular sport he was excited for was the Equestrian Dressage.
He watched a video on a show he co-hosts with Kevin Hard and referred to the style of horse dance as the ‘crip walk’ and that he needed to see it.
True to his word, the 52-year-old rapper dressed up for the sport and battled his fear of horses.
“I am interested in the horses that dance and I want to give them some carrots and apples … make sure they’re fed before they do their thang” he said.
He matched outfits with businesswoman and philanthropist, Martha Stewart.
“Snoop called me and said he knows I know horses, and he’s a little fearful of horses,” she said.
“I’m still scared of horses,” Snoop said.
“Have you ever ridden a horse?” Stewart asked.
“No,” said Snoop. “I’m scared.”
“So we’re gonna do dressage,” Stewart said.
In the event, Snoop did manage to feed some horses. He then went on to the Parc des Princes, to see the USA women beat Japan 1-0 in the quarter-finals of the Olympic soccer competition.
Snoop’s presence in Paris has been widely celebrated. This week, Molly Solomon, executive Olympics producer for NBC, told the Associated Press: “We’ve been pleasantly surprised by his popularity, but you never underestimate Snoop Dogg. He’s this wonderful mix of swagger and positivity.”
