    Snoop Dogg has created the hottest and most in-demand Olympics souvenir of the 2024 Paris summer games.

    Snoop, aka Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has been passing out special Olympics pins to members of Team USA to show his support . The pin shows the “Gin and Juice” rapper blowing smoke rings in the colors of the Olympic rings with the Eiffel tower in the background.

    One of the recipient of the special pin was none other than tennis phenom Coco Gauff.

    “Hey Coco, it’s big snoop Dogg, I got something for you beautiful,” the hitmaker said in a video he sent to the Olympian, showing the special pin. “Have a great day today/ Go USA.”

    Gauff responded with a video of her own, saying, “Hey mister snoop. Thank you for this pin, this is the best pin I’ve ever gotten.” She added that she hopes to see him at this year’s US Open.

    Exchanging special commemorative pins is an Olympic tradition that dates back to the first Olympic Games of the modern era in 1896.

    Many have been trying to get their hands on Snoop pins, quickly making them a coveted commodity.

    Alena Saili and Tysha Ikenasio from New Zealand’s women’s rugby team have been hot on the trail of the Snoop Dogg pin, sharing their hunt with videos posted on TikTok .

    Also taking to TikTok to document their quest for the Snoop pin was journalist Arielle Chambers. “My collection would be incomplete without one of your pins,” she said in a video. “I need it.”

    She seemed to have excellent manifestation powers, as her next video was actually with Snoop Dogg, who promised her he would “get her one.”

    Snoop has been everywhere at the 2024 Olympics , running as an Olympics torchbearer, serving as a sportscaster for NBC and cheering Team USA on any chance he gets, earning himself the title of Team USA’s biggest fan.

    He was seen cheering on the USA women’s gymnastics squad as they competed in the all-around team event, catching the eye of gold medalists Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles.

    Chiles started getting down and dancing as she spotted Snoop in the stands. Mr. D-o-double-g matched her energy, standing up from his seat and moving to a beat that only he and Chiles could hear.

    Snoop sat with Chiles’ parents and basically became an adopted member of their family, cheering her on every bit as hard as her mom and dad.

    “They’re invested in me being me, and that’s what I love about them because they don’t want me to water down anything or to be something I’m not. They want Snoop Dogg,” Snoop said about him stepping into the role of broadcaster, as reported by The New York Times.
