According to a report the Daily Mail published on Tuesday, August 6, the "Gin & Juice" rapper has earned $500,000 per day for covering the events in Paris plus expenses. The rumor about Snoop's daily paycheck came from venture capitalist Henry MaNamara, who claims he heard it from an executive at NBC. The report about the six-figure sum appeared to be echoed by German outlet Bild , which also claimed an NBC employee said Snoop will earn up to $15 million by the time the Games are over.
NBC Sports announced they hired Tha Doggfather as an official commentator for the 2024 Olympic Games back in January. Since then, Snoop has been preparing fans for his epic commentary and hilarious antics. Throughout his time in Paris, he's been one of several notable cheerleaders for Team USA and has created numerous memorable moments with the Olympians. He got into the Olympic-sized pool for some swimming lessons with 28-time medalist Michael Phelps, danced with decorated gymnasts Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles, and even dressed up for the Equestrian events alongside his best friend Martha Stewart.
Snoop isn't the only rapper who's made headlines at the Olympic games. Public Enemy's own Flavor Flav has also been a staunch supporter of Team USA, especially the country's water polo teams. Flav became an official sponsor for the women's and men's water polo teams before the games kicked off. The teams' official hype man was spotted cheering on the women's team on the first day of their events.
As of this report, neither NBC nor Snoop Dogg has confirmed exactly how much he's making at the Olympics. Until they do, check out some stand-out moments from his time in Paris below.
