However, according to a new rumor circulating online, Snoop Dogg is being handsomely rewarded for his coverage of the games, raking in a whopping half a million dollars a day.

On Sunday (August 4), a tweet began making the rounds from someone claiming they overheard a conversation about Snoop Dogg’s NBC salary.  

“Sat next to an NBC exec at dinner,” the X (Twitter) user claimed. “He said Snoop gets paid $500k a day plus expenses to be here promoting Olympics. From Gin and Juice to a few million to be a celebrity at the Olympics – what a world.” 

Snoop Dogg Fans React

While the rumor is unsubstantiated, Snoop Dogg fans were quick to react, with some believing he’s worth $500,000 a day and more. Nonetheless, many online pointed out that most of the athletes competing at the Games won’t see a fraction of that.  

One user shared a post from Olympic discus thrower Veronica Fraley, who revealed she struggled to pay her rent until Public Enemy hypeman Flavor Flav stepped in.  

“Snoop deserves every bit of that $500k a day for all he is doing,” one person wrote. “No debate at all…but the fact that this young woman is an actual participant in the Olympic Games yet couldn’t pay her rent till the big heart of Flavor Flav stepped in just rubs me the wrong way.” 

Another person added, “No offense to Snoop, I think this is great. I just don’t understand how there are teams literally winning medals while still funding themselves and he gets 500k a day? This is crazy.” 

A third person agreed, saying, “With all respect to Snoop. Paying him 500k a day to be at the Olympic events while the ones competing can’t even pay their bills is insane.”
