Snoop Dogg has become an Olympic staple, but if rapping were an Olympic sport, who would be on his team? Snoop talked to Billboard ahead of the Paris Olympics and chose three other rappers to join his hypothetical gold winning group.

He said he’d definitely take Billboard 200 topper Eminem, saying, “Gotta have that global experience. And I would definitely take Rakim. Old school.” And for his final pick, he said, “I would go grab a female. I’d go grab Queen Latifah. Just so that way, I got some royalty.”

Snoop will join NBC’s coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics as a host of Primetime In Paris, but it’s not his only Olympic duty. He’ll walk through the streets of Paris as a torchbearer. He said of the opportunity, “I look at it as a prestigious honor. I would’ve never truly dreamed of something like this. I’ma be on my best behavior. I’ma be on my best athleticism.”
