On Simone Biles’ father’s 75th birthday, he received a Death Row Records chain from Snoop Dogg as a present. The hip-hop icon is currently an Olympic correspondent for NBC and has become friends with Biles in the process. Biles and Snoop were spotted together watching the Track event on August 9th. Biles’ sister, Adria, posted a picture on her Instagram story of her father wearing the chain with the caption, “Snoop gave him a chain, and now he don’t know how to act.”
Snoop took over the iconic Death Row Records label in 2022 and promised to restore the brand to its former glory. He fulfilled part of his mission recently by opening his first marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles, which stocks the Death Row Records Cannabis brand he launched in January 2023. During this year’s Olympics in Paris, Snoop carried the torch to its final stop and was spotted with Michael Phelps swimming. He also attended a dressage event with Martha Stewart, where he claimed to still be afraid of horses.
Snoop created a dressage-inspired freestyle set to his 1994 hit “Gin & Juice” after watching a video of a horse named Maxima Bella performing a dressage routine. In 2021, he commented on the Olympic dressage event with comedian Kevin Hart, during which he was fascinated by a horse “crip walking.” Snoop recently claimed that the late Queen Elizabeth II was a fan of his music and jokingly offered to visit the monarchy if they would let him in.
