American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named one of the final torchbearers for the Olympic flame before Friday’s opening ceremony in Paris.
The 52-year-old will carry the torch through the streets of Saint-Denis, located north of Paris and home to the Stade de France Olympic Stadium, on Friday.
The Saint-Denis stretch marks the penultimate leg of the flame’s journey, culminating at the Eiffel Tower.
Since beginning its journey in May, the Olympic torch has traversed France, carried by various notable personalities including former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, Formula One driver Charles Leclerc, and actress Halle Berry.
Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. in Los Angeles (the host city for the 2028 Games), will be joined by fellow torchbearers in Saint-Denis, including French actress Laetitia Casta and French rapper MC Solaar.
