The rap star served as a torchbearer and special correspondent for NBC Sports providing coverage of the entire international sporting event.

"I've been out here working the Olympics, talking to the athletes, to the families, and meeting the people and kissing the babies," he told NBC. "And doing the things that I do to politically stay correct, and just being Snoop Dogg. That's what I know how to do the best."
