American rap icon Snoop Dogg has been chosen as one of the final torchbearers for the Olympic flame ahead of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. The 52-year-old musician will carry the torch through Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris and the location of the Stade de France, on Friday.

This segment of the relay is one of the last before the torch arrives at its final stop at the Eiffel Tower.

Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., comes from Los Angeles, the city set to host the 2028 Summer Games. In Saint-Denis, he'll be joined by other prominent torchbearers such as French actress Laetitia Casta and rapper MC Solaar.

The Olympic torch relay, which began in May, has featured a variety of notable individuals including former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, Formula One driver Charles Leclerc, and actress Halle Berry.

The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics are scheduled to run from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
