Snoop Dogg, Olympic torch bearer

Snoop Dogg lit the streets of Paris up, literally. The rapper carried the Olympic torch through the streets of Saint-Denis on Friday as the final torchbearer, alongside French actress Laetitia Casta and French rapper MC Solaar.

“I look at this as a prestigious honor and something I truly respect. I would have never dreamed of nothing like this,” Snoop Dogg said earlier this week. “I’m going to be on my best behavior. I’m going to be on my best athleticism. I’ll be able to breathe slow to walk fast and hold the torch with a smile on my face, because I realize how prestigious this event is.”

Snoop Dogg, the fashionista

Snoop Dogg is not only providing commentary, he's giving fashion advice.

"I heard me and Snoop Dogg are going to the same nail tech," said Team USA sprinter Noah Lyles, who flashed his white nails emblazoned with "ICON" in blue glitter. Snoop Dogg approved of Lyles' fashion statement, although he could not confirm or deny if they share the same nail salon technician.

"Noah (Lyles) stays spooned and groomed, dipped and whipped, suited and booted," Snoop Dogg said. "I know he was going to be fresh to death. Ya dig? That's my guy."

Snoop Dogg, the dancer

There were numerous performances at the opening ceremony, including one from Lady Gaga, who opened the festivities by singing "Mon Truc en Plumes" by Zizi Jeanmaire on the steps of a metro. Although Lady Gaga sang in French, that didn't stop Snoop Dogg from dropping it like it's hot alongside his commentary partner Hoda Kotb.

Snoop Dogg, the athlete

Earlier Friday, Snoop lent his usual comic take, this time to the Olympic event of weightlifting. He was shown lifting a bar with no weights. His finishing stance, however, was a 10.
