Snoop Dogg has been a prominent figure during the Paris Olympics. On Friday morning, he carried the Olympic torch ahead of the opening ceremony.

As one of the final torchbearers, Snoop Dogg took part in the relay in Saint-Denis, a suburb of Paris.

The Olympic flame, lit in Greece in April, has been making its way to Paris since then.

In a recent interview, Snoop Dogg expressed his gratitude to both the U.S. and France for this opportunity.

He said, "I consider this a prestigious honor and something I truly respect. I could have never imagined an opportunity like this. I’m committed to being on my best behavior and showing my athleticism. I’ll be able to breathe slowly, walk fast, and hold the torch with a smile, fully aware of the event's significance."

Snoop Dogg is in Paris to assist NBC in covering the Games, with the U.S. broadcaster aiming to boost ratings by incorporating pop culture into their coverage.
