AMERICAN rapper Snoop Dogg will be one of the final torchbearers of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games flame before the opening ceremony in the French capital on Friday.
The 52-year-old, whose birth name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, will carry the torch through the streets of Saint-Denis in the north of Paris, where Stade de France Olympic Stadium is situated, on Friday.
The Saint-Denis stretch is the penultimate leg of the flame’s journey before the relay ends at the iconic Eiffel Tower.
The Olympic torch has travelled through France since May and has been carried by different famous personalities, including former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, Formula One driver Charles Leclerc and American actress Halle Berry.
Snoop Dogg was born in Los Angeles, which is the host city for the 2028 Games.
The famous rapper, who became a household name across the world in the early 90s with his hit album ‘Doggystyle’, will be joined by fellow torchbearers in Saint-Denis, including French actress Laetitia Casta and French rapper MC Solaar.
