Snoop Dogg has taken on a new role at the 2024 Paris Olympics, combining his flair for entertainment with a surprising interest in art. On August 2, 2024, Snoop toured the Louvre Museum for NBC Olympics & Paralympics’ TikTok account, sharing his unique and humorous insights on some of the world’s most famous artworks.
During his tour, Snoop referred to himself as “Mona Lisa’s twin brother” and misidentified some artworks in a manner that only he could pull off. At the Mona Lisa painting, he joked about being “Tony Lisa”, Mona Lisa’s twin brother, and remarked on the painting’s smile depending on his position. This light-hearted interaction set the tone for his entire visit.
Snoop’s humor continued as he encountered other artworks. While looking at the Winged Victory of Samothrace, he tried to identify which wing was real, earning a “bravo” from his tour guide. At Cupid and Psyche by Francois-Edouard Picot, he initially mistook Cupid for a lady before quickly correcting himself with a laugh. His tour wrapped up with a look at Liberty Leading the People, where he humorously noted the similarity between his revolutionary cap and the one in the painting.

Snoop’s dance and wave to the crowd added a festive touch to the event.
Speaking with NBC sportscaster Mike Tirico, Snoop reflected on the emotional significance of his role. He shared how carrying the torch was a dignified honor and a mark of utmost respect, both for him personally and for America’s place in the world. Snoop also praised France for recognizing his contribution and allowing him to be part of such a significant event.
