American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an ‘honorary coach’ for Team USA at next year’s Winter Olympics, the BBC reports.
The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on “a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America’s athletes off the field of play”.
Snoop Dogg was a big presence for the US during the summer Games in Paris last year, serving as a special correspondent for broadcaster NBC’s Olympics coverage, as well as performing at the handover ceremony for Los Angeles 2028.
“Team USA athletes are the real stars – I’m just here to cheer, uplift and maybe drop a little wisdom from the sidelines,” said ‘Coach Snoop’.
