The Paris Olympics have been creating buzz and people are on the edge specifically by the performances of athletes such as Simone Biles and Noah Lyles. Amid the sporting spectacles, one figure has caught considerable attention is Snoop Dogg.
It is rumored that the rapper is paid $500,000 daily for his role at the Olympics and figures do not seem impossible at all.
According to an insider source from NBC, Snoop Dogg is reportedly being paid $500,000 per day plus expenses for his involvement in promoting the Olympics. Over the course of the event, which is set to last several weeks, this figure could total around $8.5 million.
This is not merely for celebrity status alone but because of his contribution towards increasing the popularity of the Games across the globe.
About 34 million people have watched NBC Sports, where there has been an increase by about 34 million as compared to Tokyo Olympics 2021. NBC’s Olympics executive producer Molly Solomon attributed some of this rise to Snoop Dogg.
“We have been so shocked, we are happy to see him so popular,” she said while referring to Snoop as the ‘‘happy ambassador’’.
