Snoop Dogg is living his best life as an official commentator for the Paris Summer Olympics, and his latest adventure includes getting swimming lessons from iconic Olympian Michael Phelps.
In a promotional video for NBC’s Olympics coverage, the 52-year-old hip-hop legend shared his excitement about collaborating with Phelps. “See, me and M.P., we go back like the backstroke,” Snoop joked. He then asked Phelps to teach him some gold medal-worthy swimming skills.
Phelps explained that the secret to becoming an expert swimmer lies in one’s “wingspan” and “lung power.” With his signature humor, Snoop replied, “I definitely have lung power. And I do have a swimmer’s body.”
The duo swam a few laps, showcasing their camaraderie and mutual respect. After finishing, a breathless Snoop admitted that swimming was more challenging than he anticipated. Phelps, amused, asked, “Swimming’s tough, huh?” to which Snoop replied with a laugh, “It is!” Their shared laughter highlighted the fun and lighthearted spirit of their encounter.

Before meeting King, Snoop made headlines by dancing with the Olympic torch through the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis.
