Team USA have been the envy of every other nation at this year's Olympics in Paris thanks to them boasting Snoop Dogg as their biggest cheerleader spurring them on in the crowds.
He's ended up being something of a good luck charm for the athletes from across the pond and has been seen hyping up stars, including Simone Biles, before they go for gold on the world's biggest sporting stage.
The legendary West Coast rapper, 52, has been stealing the show in the city of love ever since he carried the Olympic Torch along its last leg of the relay through the streets of Saint-Denis in the north of Paris.

He couldn't have really got off to a much better start than that for his first Olympics, could he?
Snoop has continued to outdo himself though and has certainly proved that he is taking his role as a special correspondent for broadcasting giant NBC very seriously.
It came of the back of that hilarious highlight show that he hosted with comedian Kevin Hart in 2021, where they shared their thoughts on stars competing at the Tokyo Olympics as well as the infamous 'crip-walking' horse.

Fans of the 'Gin and Juice' rapper have been loving seeing his animated reactions while he watches Team USA athletes compete, as well as listening to him show off his commentating talents while his country took on China in badminton.
Snoop then strutted out in full equestrian gear for the dressage team Grand Prix Special over the weekend alongside his unlikely bestie Martha Stewart, seeing fans call for him to be awarded a special medal for all his hard work.
The father-of-four will be reportedly be paid handsomely for lending a hand at the Olympics - even though it looks like he's just out in France having a blast while also being on the clock.
Snoop - who's real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr - was dubbed an 'ambassador of happiness' by NBC's executive producer Molly Solomon.

"We’ve been pleasantly surprised by his popularity, but you never ever underestimate Snoop Dogg," she said.
Let's face it, he's worth the money, whatever he is getting paid.
And thanks to this bloke eavesdropping on the conversation that was taking place on the table next to him in a New York City restaurant, we now have a decent idea about what region his wage is in.

Venture capitalist Henry McNamara took to social media to share the gossip he had overheard about how much Snoop is supposedly making for his work at the Olympics.
"Sat next to an NBC exec at dinner," he claimed in a post on X shared on Sunday (4 August).
"He said Snoop gets paid $500k (£392,165) 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."

If the information McNamara alleges to have heard is accurate, it would mean that Snoop will walk away from his role as a special correspondent a whopping $8 million richer for 16 days of graft.
He touched down in Paris before the Opening Ceremony kicked off on 26 July and will be covering the Olympics for NBC until the competition finishes on 11 August.
Although the reported amount might be staggering, social media users reckon Snoop is 'worth every penny'.
One said: "Worth it! Snoop Dogg is rocking the @Olympics."
Another added: "He is worth 2x that amount. Snoop is America."
A third commented: "Personality goes a long way."
While a fourth chimed in: "Totally worth it - he’s working hard & bringing so much attention to the broadcast/socials."
