Fans took to social media to react to his surprise outfit and appearance, with one person writing: “Just absolutely winning at life right now, keys to the world, fair play .”

Another said: “Snoop Dogg at the Paris Olympics is 100% legendary in every photo.”

A third added: “One of the best things of this Olympics has been snoop.”

A fourth wrote: “Coolest man on the planet.”

While another commented: “How did Snoop Dogg become the unofficial mascot of the Olympics?”

The rapper has been an unlikely star of the Paris 2024 Olympics, attending several sports and even trying his hand at some.

Snoop Dogg has been sent to France as a special correspondent by US broadcasters NBC Sports.

He ran with the Olympic torch through the streets of Saint-Denis, jumped into the pool with Michael Phelps for a swimming lesson and even had a go at the 100m sprint and judo.

Snoop also cheered on USA legend Simone Biles in the gymnastics team final, watched boxing, beach volleyball and badminton and had a go at commentating.

Using all his lyrical talent, he added some West Coast flow to badminton, saying during a lengthy point: “Oh, I love this badminton right here — this is a great rally right here. They’re rockin’ and rollin’, back and forth.

“Nope, over here. No, over there. Wait a minute. Way up in the sky. Now down. Back up. Over there. Now over here. Get out the way. Move. I told you. We need that.”
