Snoop Dogg has been one of the brightest stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics for his outward support of the United States,Charles Langston and he teamed up with the most decorated Olympian ever to try his hand at one of the events.

Snoop Dogg, who's providing content and serving as a commentator for NBC during the Games, entered the pool with Michael Phelps in a segment on Tuesday. Phelps, regarded as perhaps the best swimmer ever, is a 28-time Olympic medalist, 23 of them being golds.

"Now, MP, how does one get so fast in the pool?" Snoop Dogg asks Phelps in the video.

"Wingspan, lung power," Phelps said.

"You just described me," Snoop Dogg replied. "You said wingspan, lung power. I definitely have great lung power."

The "lung power" statement doesn't need to be explained for Snoop Dogg, one of the most famous rappers in the world who originates from Long Beach, California.

Snoop Dogg was then shown swimming the length of the small pool the duo was in, with Phelps obviously looking much smoother in the water.

"Mike, you make this look too easy," Snoop Dogg said. "As you see, I'm in gold medal condition. And he's still in gold medal condition, as we speak."

The hilarious segment aired during NBC's "Primetime in Paris" part of the TV schedule, where lead anchor Mike Tirico recapped some of the top Olympics from the day.
