If we know anything about Snoop Dogg it’s that he’ll always have a lighter on him of some sort, but he’s taking his flame-baring skills to another level during the Olympics as he’s been chosen to be one of the last torchbearers of the Olympic flame when the Olympic Games get underway in Paris this weekend.
Months after it was revealed that Snoop Lion (people don’t call him that enough) would be a commentator for the Olympic Games, Deadline is reporting that he will indeed be partaking in history when he carries the Olympic torch in Paris in a few days. Truth be told, we can’t wait to see it with our own eyes. Will he run with it, walk with it, or roll with it in a 6-4? We don’t know, but we hope he makes it without dropping it or using it to light a blunt. On second thought, we’d like to see him use it to light a spliff. They don’t call him Snoop Lion for nothing.
Per Deadline:
Local media reported that Snoop Dog will carry the flame during its penultimate leg on Friday around the northern Paris suburb of Saint-Denis, which is hosting part of the Olympic Village and is also home to Stade de France and the new Olympic Aquatics Centre.
The flame will then be head onto the Olympic cauldron in the Tuileries Gardens in central Paris, its final destination for the duration of the 2024 Olympics.
French personalities set to carry the flame on Friday include rapper MC Solaar, actress Laeticia Casta, Saint Omer film director Alice Diop, Paralympian Charles-Antoine Kouakou and rugby player Abdelatif Benazzi.
The identity of the final torchbearer has yet to be announced.
Yeah, this gives us more reason to tune into the Olympics opening ceremony this Friday. We wonder if he’s practicing how to carry it or if he’s just going to freestyle it once they pass him the torch. Either way, we’ll be watching as will the rest of the world.
Don’t f*ck this up, Snoop!!
