The famous rapper was spotted dancing at the gymnastics, dressing up in a full equestrian outfit, and doing some hilarious commentary on badminton for NBC.

Snoop has been supporting Team USA at every event he can get to and has a deal with NBC to provide content and commentary throughout the Games.

According to the NBC Sports website, the network had viewing figures of 35.4 million in the middle of a Sunday during the Olympics, more than double the equivalent day at the Tokyo Olympics.

The Daily Mail reported that Henry McNamara, one of the world's most influential young entrepreneurs, according to Forbes, claimed he heard from an NBC executive that Snoop was getting paid £393,000 ($500,000, €457,960) every day (plus expenses).

German outlet Bild reportedly heard from an NBC employee that Snoop could earn up to £11.78 million ($15m,€13.7) across the Games, with TV rating bonuses in his contract.

The famous gangster rapper was one of the highlights of the Games in 2021, with Snoop and comedian Kevin Hart providing hilarious entertainment for American streaming service Peacock.

Molly Soloman, NBC executive Producer, said: "That performance alone has earned Snoop a job as our Special Correspondent in Paris. We don't know what the heck is going to happen every day, but we know he will add his unique perspective."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 'Gin and Juice' hitmaker said: "I've been out here working the Olympics, talking to the athletes, to families and meeting the people and kissing the babies, and doing the things that I do to politically stay correct."

With the next Olympic Games happening in Snoop's hometown of Los Angeles, it seems written in the stars that he will make a return to the Olympic coverage for 2028.
