Pin and juice it like it's hot? A Snoop Dogg Olympic pin has some fans eager to purchase
You can get a Snoop Dogg cookbook, you can wear the Snoop Dogg collection of Sketchers, but can you sport the Snoop Dogg Olympic pin?
“The Doggfather” and Long Beach native gifted United States tennis player Coco Gauff a pin that features the rapper exhaling smoke in the form of Olympic rings — a fitting design considering he’s long been known for his love of marijuana.
The International Tennis Foundation shared an image of the pin on social media, garnering over 26 thousand likes, as some social media users asked where they could get one.
