Snoop Dogg is allegedly pulling in quite the paycheck for his time in Paris as a correspondent for the 2024 Olympic Games.
On Sunday (August 4), New York-based venture capitalist Henry L. McNamara – who’s currently in Paris attending the events – took to X to share what he overheard from an executive at NBC.
“Sat next to an NBC exec at dinner, he said Snoop gets paid $500k a day plus expenses to be here promoting Olympics,” McNamara said. “From Gin and Juice to a few million to be a celebrity at the Olympics – what a world.”
The numbers have not been confirmed, however.
As a special Olympics correspondent for NBC, Tha Doggfather has been trying his hand at all kinds of sports since the 2024 Olympic Games kickstarted in Paris last week.
In a video shared on Instagram, for example, the West Coast rap legend wielded a sword and donned a fencing outfit (complete with a stars and stripes-themed mask) while dueling with U.S. Olympic fencer Miles Chamley-Watson.
The clip showed Snoop cautiously batting away the 13-time team Pan American champion’s attacks and being backed down while offering some hilarious commentary on the lopsided contest.
“Hold on now! Time out! Back that ass up!” he said.
However, Snoop soon found his confidence and suddenly went on the offense, even trading his anxious pleas for tough talk.
“Come on, cuh! Where you from? Huh?” he jokingly asked Chamley-Watson.
Snoop’s performance earned the approval of the pro fencer, who wrote on Instagram: “What a day hanging with my new Dawg!! @snoopdogg. Such a pleasure legend. We getting ready, not to mention my man was a natural. I think you ready for the Olympics now. Stay Tuned.”
Snoop Dogg has been a ubiquitous presence at the Olympics, rubbing shoulders with Team USA’s star athletes and providing plenty of entertainment for those watching at home.
The Long Beach legend was even tasked with carrying the Olympic torch for his home country during the opening ceremony, during which he put on for his city by doing the Crip Walk in the process.
