Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre Bring the Heat
Snoop Dogg, who had been a visible presence throughout the Games in Paris, made a memorable return to the States for the closing ceremony. Performing from a beachside stage in his hometown of Long Beach, California, Snoop delivered a high-energy rendition of his hit “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” Dressed in a bedazzled white USA blazer, pants adorned with red and blue stripes, and an Olympic rings shirt underneath, Snoop brought his signature style to the world stage.

The duo, who have defined the West Coast rap scene for decades, performed their classic track “The Next Episode,” igniting the crowd both in Paris and back home in Los Angeles. The crowd in the fan park outside the Stade de France erupted in cheers as the two legends declared, “L.A. 2028!” signaling the excitement for the next Summer Games in Los Angeles.
Billie Eilish Captivates with ‘Birds of a Feather’
