However, during the interview, Kotb pointed out that Simone Biles’ mother, Nellie, has some history with the West Coast rapper.
“Snoop, I don’t know if you know this, but Simone and you have known each other for a long time. Right, Nellie?” Kotb revealed.

“The first [gymnastics] competition is Sunday, which is women’s qualifier and, of course, she needs to rest up before that competition,” Nellie Biles, told Kotb .
She was heard on camera saying she felt something in her calf.
But nothing was stopping the seven-time medalist from performing.

She took the floor and displayed a routine set to Taylor Swift’s “Ready For It,” leaving audience members awestruck.
The routine — notably the hardest in the world — was solid and earned her a 14.600, guaranteeing her a spot in the event finals next week.
After completing the routine, Biles could be seen gingerly walking off the floor before receiving a hug from her longtime coach, Laurent Landi.
US gymnastics coach Cecile Landi said the issue with Biles’ leg popped up a couple of weeks ago and was minor.
Her coach added that there was no discussion of pulling Biles’ from the event.
