Okay, technically the Olympics are a bunch of sporting events all rolled into one, but whatever. You might be wondering who the breakout star of this year’s games is — perhaps literal queen Simone Biles? But, if you ask us, the stars of this year’s Olympics aren’t even athletes at all.

Two unlikely stars have stolen the stage at the 2024 Olympic Summer Games in Paris — Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav. Snoop served as one of the games’ torchbearers at the opening ceremony on July 26th and has been taking in quite a few sporting events since!

The 52-year-old rapper even went so far as to try his hand at being a commentator during the USA’s badminton match against China. Honestly, consider this our official petition to have Snoop Dogg narrate all sports forever and always from now on.

But, it was Snoop’s reaction to watching USA gymnast Jordan Chiles’ uneven bar routine with her parents that has us declaring him one of America’s dads this summer. See it for yourself below!

The US women’s water polo team has also been supported by a surprising person — Flavor Flav. The 65-year-old rapper and founding member of Public Enemy is taking his role as the team’s official hype man very seriously, according to the Guardian

“This is quite an experience for me right now, you know, because the only time I’ve ever seen the Olympics was on TV,” commented Flav while high-fiving nearly everyone at the Team USA house.

The unlikely pairing up came about in May when team captain Maggie Steffans asked for financial help on Instagram — which Flav happily provided. He offered to back the team financially while hoping to use his celeb status to bring attention to an otherwise overlooked team, despite them also being one of the most successful.

“As a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports – imma personally sponsor you my girl, whatever you need. And imma sponsor the whole team,” Flav wrote back. Later, Flav signed a five-year deal with the US women’s and men’s water polo teams to help “elevate the visibility and excitement” around the sport in the states.

“This is an honor, and this is a pleasure and a perfect measure – and I’m gonna keep this memory as a perfect treasure,” shared the rapper. All we have to say is, “YEAH BOYYYYYYYY!”
