Snoop Doggis shining in Paris… or at least his left hand was — because the guy carried the Olympic flame on Thursday, marking a huge moment for him and hip-hop culture.
The rapper carried the torch through the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis… and check out the photos because Snoop looks like one proud puppy as he does his part to carry the flame to its final destination.
Snoop — wearing an all-white tracksuit emblazoned with “Paris 2024” and the Olympic rings spread across his back — waves to the crowd during his portion of the walk, looking up at the torch in awe.
In fact, everything went off without a hitch… no one got burned and Snoop didn’t drop anything, as if it was hot — so the torch is still on schedule.
As we said… the torch relay began in Greece in April, with the torch traveling across France in the following weeks and arriving at its final resting place on Friday.
Organizers announced Snoop as torchbearer earlier this week, another event on his busy Olympics schedule — he’s already met with members of Team USA and will join NBC for their coverage this week.
