Snoop Dogg showed his unwavering support for Team USA as the Americans claimed their first-ever gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
On Saturday afternoon, the United States won the men’s 4×100 freestyle relay, and the rapper was no doubt thrilled with the victory.
Caeleb Dressel, Chris Guiliano, Jack Alexy and Hunter Armstrong formed the team and secured victory comfortably. The quartet clocked a time of 3:9:28, while silver medallist Australia managed a time of 3:10:35.
During the broadcast, NBC pointed a camera at Snoop Dogg, who was screaming and pumping his fist in the air.
“One, two, three, gold, gold, gold,” he yells before high-fiving Dressel’s wife, Meghan, as she holds their five-month-old son August.

Dressel played anchor for the team and had seconds of airtime in the final stretch, allowing the network to air Snoop and Meghan’s reactions.
Before taking up her duties as host, the Californian spent a busy few days in Paris. Snoop Dogg was one of the people chosen to carry the torch through the city to the opening ceremony on Friday.
Snoop Dogg isn’t the only American rapper taking part in the games, fellow hip-hop legend Flavor Flav is in the French capital as the official cheerleader for the US women’s water polo team.
Flavor Flav’s venture comes after signing a five-year sponsorship deal with the team earlier this year.

The legendary rapper was one of the people carrying the torch through Paris this week.
“It all started when Maggie Steffens posted a story, you know what I mean,” she shared at a press conference. “My manager told me about it. When I read it, I was like, ‘I would love to get involved and, you know, help these girls.'”
“Because these girls are on a journey,” the rapper continued. “They’ve been on a journey, a fantastic journey.”
