Recalling Simone Biles’ Paris Olympics Triumph, Snoop Dogg Makes Hilarious Confession: ‘13 ft in the Air’
The Paris Olympics served up a buffet of unforgettable moments, from jaw-dropping performances to star-studded sidelines. While events like equestrian and tennis had their fair share of famous fans, gymnastics took center stage, with none other than Simone Biles dazzling under the spotlight. Her cheering squad? Oh, just a casual who’s-who of Hollywood and beyond, featuring Ariana Grande, her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, Lady Gaga, Tom Cruise, Anna Wintour, Jessica Chastain, and—you guessed it—the legendary Snoop Dogg.
But leave it to Snoop Dogg to steal the show, proving he’s not just a rap icon but also the ultimate hypeman for the U.S. women’s team. From the stands, he cheered Simone on like a proud uncle at a family reunion. His reactions were so animated and full of energy that one particular photo of him went viral. Fast-forward to now, and Snoop’s added his own hilarious twist to the moment, making a confession about that iconic meme-worthy reaction that has fans cracking up all over again.
Snoop Dogg reacts to the viral meme!
In a recent video shared by The Jennifer Hudson Show, Snoop Dogg graced the show and chatted with the host, aka singer and actress, aka J.Hud. When she asked him about his viral meme picture, a torch bearer for Team USA Snoop replied, “I think I was at I don’t know if that was gymnastics, it was something that was quiet and then all of a sudden you had to make a whole lot of noise. Simone Biles jumped about 13 ft in the air.” The viral pic of Snoop Dogg? Yep, the guy was all kinds of shook. Rocking a Biles T-shirt, he was totally in awe of Simone, his sunglasses pushed up, wide-eyed, and his eyes practically popping out in shock or disbelief.
Simone Biles absolutely stole the show at the Olympics with her jaw-dropping floor routine, where she hit a crazy 12-foot jump! Picture this: she soared higher than even some of basketball’s best, jumping in sync with Taylor Swift’s beats. And here’s the kicker—she’s only 4’8, so if you subtract her height from that 12-foot leap, she cleared a mind-blowing 7’4″, which is taller than Victor Wembanyama, one of the tallest players in the NBA and at the 2024 Paris Olympics
Plus, Simone Biles beat his vertical leap of 10 feet! She nailed a score of 15.066 (with 6.900 for difficulty and 8.166 for execution) in that routine, and you could tell—Snoop was shook! But let’s not forget that gymnastics wasn’t the only time Snoop Dogg made his mark. He had plenty of other moments that kept him busy and vibing all throughout the Paris Olympics!
Uncle Snoop lived his dreams at the Paris Olympics!
While many hailed Snoop Dogg as the unofficial mascot of Team USA in Paris the hip-hop legend described his time at the Olympics as a dream come true, feeling like a big kid. He got to do everything he imagined, and thanks to the NBC team, he had the freedom to showcase his talents and spread a lot of love and joy while doing it! It all kicked off when he was chosen as one of the few cultural icons to carry the Olympic torch during the grand Opening Ceremony of the Games.
Not only that, but the legend himself also became an NBC commentator, adding his signature style and vibe to the whole experience. And if that wasn’t enough, Snoop reunited with his longtime buddy, Martha Stewart, for the Olympic dressage competition. The two of them were rocking full riding gear—helmets, riding coats, the whole vibe—and celebrated Stewart’s 83rd birthday in true style. But wait, there’s more!
Snoop didn’t just hang out in the stands; he got his hands wet too, joining the one and only Michael Phelps in an NBC segment for the Paris 2024 Olympics. Phelps was giving Snoop some swim secrets, talking about how his wingspan and lung power were key to his success. Snoop, being Snoop, had to chime in, saying, “You just described me. I definitely have great lung power. And I do have a swimmer’s body…We could be twins.” Classic Snoop move, right? And that wasn’t the end of it—he was right there cheering on his fellow Olympians, too.
Snoop also showed some serious heart when he supported Caeleb Dressel, the eight-time Olympic medalist, as he claimed another gold in the U.S. men’s 4×100 freestyle relay. The rapper was right there with Dressel’s family, cheering him on like the legend he is. And when the athletes weren’t busy winning medals or training, they were all about that Olympic pin trading. Snoop got in on the fun too! He even had his own custom pin, which none other than Coco Gauff snagged for herself. Whether it was on the field, in the pool, or in the Olympic village, Snoop Dogg was everywhere, leaving his mark and keeping that Snoop vibe alive in Paris and now maybe for LA too!
