Snoop Dogg has his mind on the Olympics and the Olympics on his mind.

The rapper, 52, arrived in Paris ahead of Friday's opening ceremony to take part in some of the pre-game festivities, and from serving as a torchbearer to cheering on Simone Biles and Coco Gauff from the sidelines, he has been one of Team USA's biggest fans while not busy working as a commentator for NBC. (Seriously, just check his Instagram feed!)

From his custom T-shirts to keeping cool on the sidelines, see some of the best photos of Snoop's time in Paris so far.

Ahead of the opening ceremony, Snoop rocked a white Olympic tracksuit as he paraded the torch through the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis as a torchbearer.

“It was emotional for all of us to see the champ holding that torch and walking up there. This is my own version of it,” Snoop said on a call with NBC sportscaster Mike Tirico about how taking on the role made him think back to when Muhammad Ali made a surprise appearance to light the Olympic cauldron at the 1996 Atlanta Games, the Washington Post reported. “I don’t want to get too emotional, but I know that this is special.”
