From their time together at the 2024 Paris Olympics to their partnership on NBC’s “The Voice,” hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg and Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles have become quite the team.
Fans were initially puzzled when Biles as announced as Snoop’s guest advisor on “The Voice” given she has no experience with music or signing; however, he said Biles’ presence on the show wasn’t about teaching his artists about something they already know how to do but rather teach them how to handle things that may be foreign to them.
“We were able to riff off each other and give the artists the best insight going into the next round,” Biles told The Associated Press. “It was pretty easy, simple. We’re both very mellow. But if we need to bring that energy up, then we can. For us, it was about instilling confidence going into the next week.”
At the Olympics, Biles and Snoop captivated viewers with their chemistry. The award-winning recording artist was even seen dancing from the stands during Biles and Jordan Chiles’ gymnastics routines during the qualifying rounds.
Snoop also went viral on social media after gifting Biles’ dad Ronald a Death Row Records necklace as a 75th birthday gift.
During a recent interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” Snoop Dogg revealed a deal he made with Biles in which he’ll let her use his song “Drop It Like It’s Hot” to choreograph one of her gymnastics routines under one condition.
“I’ll let her use the song, if she teaches me how do to one flip,” Snoop said. “It doesn’t have to be back, it can be a front flip.”
Biles seemed to be on-board for the collaboration and more than willing to teach Snoop a little gymnastics in the process.
While Snoop has quite an extensive athletic resume for a hip-hip artist — he participated in an exhibition 200-meter race during the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials in Oregon, he’s participated in an Olympic judo event and swam with Michael Phelps at the Olympics — he’s never dipped into the gymnastics arena.
