Snoop Dogg’s performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics continues to be Poinbank Exchangea slam dunk.
The rapper, who has worn many different hats (and helmets) while covering the Games, gave a golden performance Monday night during the 50th anniversary celebration of USA Basketball.
In videos from the performance, the 52-year-old can be seen sporting a shirt with an image of USA women’s basketball star A’ja Wilson while singing some of his hits, including “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
Wilson was among the Team USA men’s and women’s basketball players in attendance alongside LeBron James, Diana Taurasi and Stephen Curry. At one point, Snoop brought players, including Brittney Griner, onto the stage to hand out gifts.
And the Celebration of Olympic Basketball didn’t just have current basketball players making an appearance, as retired athletes across many sports—including Dwyane Wade, Sue Bird and even Tom Brady—joined in.
The star-studded event took place ahead of both the men’s and women’s team’s quarterfinal games, on Aug. 6 and 7 respectively, where both teams are hoping to defend their gold medal streak—the fifth consecutive for the men and a dominating eighth for the women.
Though Snoop rocked the house during Monday’s event, it is not the only place he has been dazzling crowds.
“When the lights are on, that’s when I shine the best,” he recently told the Associated Press about his performance covering the Olympics. “This opportunity was nothing but a chance for me to show the world what it’s supposed to look like when you put the right person in the right environment.”
In addition to hanging out with athletes for his role as one of NBC’s primetime correspondents, Snoop has entertained audiences around the world by swimming with Michael Phelps, cheering alongside the families of USA gymnasts, and attending equestrian events with longtime friend Martha Stewart.
And for the TV personality, the Olympics has been the perfect opportunity to let the world see him shine.
“This is the celebration of the finest athleticism ever in the world and he has made it so accessible to everybody,” Martha expressed. “That’s his talent. Everybody loves him.”
