An unlikely breakout star of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the "Drop It Like It's Hot" rapper has been going viral on social media over the past couple of days—and now, some of his commentary is being turned into a song.
While Today show stars Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin, Savannah Guthrie, and Al Roker recounted some moments amid the games, they couldn't help but highlight the Death Row Records owner's likely comments as he watched the U.S. vs. China badminton match.
"Snoop's going viral for his coverage of the games," Kotb introduced, before video played of the 52-year-old musical artist's commentary, which was laid over a hip hop track.
