Snoop Dogg's Olympic pin is what everybody in Paris wants
The collectible shows the rapper smoking and exhaling Olympic rings.
Snoop Dogg is, once again, the life of the party.
At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the rapper and upcoming The Voice coach, is regularly seen cheering on athletes from the sidelines, often wearing images of their faces on his shirts, as he works as a special correspondent for NBC.
The "Drop It Like Its Hot" musician even has his own Olympic pin (pictured below) — the collectibles that athletes are given to trade throughout the games — and it's seriously in demand. His piece depicts Snoop smoking and exhaling rings of smoke in the color of the Olympic rings.

The International Federation of Tennis even noted when accomplished athlete Coco Gauff obtained one from the artist himself, which is reportedly the only way to add one to your collection.
"Hey Mr. Snoop, thank you for this pin!" Gauff said. "This is the best pin that I've ever gotten... I hope to see you at US Open."
