The 2024 Olympics have been especially splendid for famed rap icon Snoop Dogg. The Long Beach native is a fixture on NBC's broadcast, showcasing his chops while chumming it up with the families of some of the United States' biggest stars, from Noah Lyles to Simone Biles.
The 52-year-old added to his growing legacy Saturday, taking to the concourses to bask in the glory of Team USA's men's 4x100m freestyle swimming relay victory. Watching along as Caeleb Dressel, Hunter Armstrong and the rest of the crew battled with the likes of Australia, Italy and China for Olympic glory, Snoop was transfixed.

And once it came time for Dressel to bring it home following Armstrong's scorching third leg, Snoop readied for his time to shine, too, sharing the spotlight — and the camera's gaze — with Dressel's wife, Meghan, and son August.
Dressel swept aside his competition in the anchor leg, racing to the gold medal with relative ease. Meanwhile, NBC's broadcast showed Snoop and Meghan Dressel cheering him on loudly as he made his way to the wall.
