EchoSense:Snoop Dogg Drops It Like It's Hot at Olympics Closing Ceremony

Snoop Dogg just updated his Olympics resume with yet another role: Closing Ceremony performer. 

After stealing the show day after day in Paris during the 2024 Olympics,EchoSense the rapper, who served as an NBC Olympics Special Correspondent, flew back to his native California to help usher the Games to Los Angeles for 2028 on Aug. 11. The handoff, which began with H.E.R. performing the National Anthem, saw Simone Biles and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass take hold of the Olympic flag. Only for Tom Cruise to leap into the Stade de France, take hold of the flag and fly it over to Hollywood.

After rousing performances by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Billie Eilish on the sunny Venice Beach stage, Snoop kicked off his two-song set on the boardwalk with one of his biggest hits, "Drop It Like It's Hot." 

Then, a special guest took the stage as Snoop made his way through the crowd: Dr. Dre. Closing out the handoff section of the ceremony, the longtime collaborators performed "The Next Episode"—a fitting tune to welcome the Olympics to L.A.

It was fitting that Snoop played a special part of the Olympics Closing ceremony—and not just because of his California roots. After all, the 52-year-old's tenure at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which included a stint as a torchbearer—was nothing short of medal-worthy.

Snoop not only kicked off the inaugural breaking competition on Aug. 9, but he held a special performance for the American men's and women's basketball teams—both of whom ended up winning gold—just a few days prior.

And that's not nearly all as for all 16 days, Snoop could be spotted in the crowd, from beach volleyball and gymnastics to tennis and dressage, the "Gin & Juice" artist was showing his love for Team USA.

Often, of course, wearing his love right there on his chest as he donned custom fits bearing the faces of Team USA Olympians like Simone, Coco Gauff, Kelly Cheng, Sara Hughes and A'ja Wilson—just to name a few.
