The Summer Olympics: Snoop Dogg Wears Custom "Iced Eiffel Tower" Gold Chain
In 2024, everyone is striving for gold in Paris, and American rapper Snoop Dogg is no exception.
At the uplifting Summer Olympics in Paris, Snoop Dogg further cemented his status as a positive icon by dressing in equestrian attire and bringing a carrot for any hungry horses.
Snoop Dogg has made a notable appearance in a variety of sports uniforms, supporting athletes and spreading his unique brand of laid-back cheer.
This year, Snoop Dogg has been actively involved in the Olympics in multiple roles, including serving as NBC's special Olympics correspondent. Notably, he was one of the select torchbearers who carried the Olympic flame through Saint-Denis to the Stade de France Olympic Stadium.

Snoop and His "Iced Eiffel Tower" Chain
The popular American rapper was also spotted in Paris wearing King Ice’s exclusive "Iced Eiffel Tower" chain.
This 14-karat gold chain features a pendant depicting the Eiffel Tower and the five Olympic rings, all set against a backdrop of more than 600 gemstones. The pendant is encircled by a laurel wreath, with the tip of the Eiffel Tower designed as a torch with gold flames and diamonds.
"We are honored to have been commissioned to design and create a custom Paris Olympics iced chain for Snoop Dogg to wear during these historic games," said King Ice in a press release.
King Ice, a renowned fine jewelry manufacturer, specializes in crafting pieces for streetwear and hip-hop cultures.
"We’re Here for Peace, Love, and Unity"
No one seems to be having as much fun in Paris as the US rapper. From carrying the Olympic torch through the final stages in Saint-Denis to mark the opening of the 33rd Games, to making appearances at various events like dressage, Snoop Dogg has truly embraced the Olympic spirit.
Snoop Dogg has been the life of the party, whether he’s dancing with gymnastics champion Simone Biles, playing tennis with court icon Billie Jean King, swimming with 23-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Phelps, or mock-fencing while wearing an American flag mask.
"I discovered that holding the torch makes you a messenger of peace, so I felt really good about that ... We’re here for peace, love, unity, and great sportsmanship," Snoop Dogg said, adding that he never imagined he would become such a beloved figure at the Games.
"Especially as a kid growing up watching the Olympics and seeing how monumental it was … [Now] I’m the biggest kid in the crowd," Snoop Dogg continued.
The 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris began on July 26 and will run until August 11.
Rapper, record producer, and actor Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg (formerly Snoop Doggy Dogg and briefly Snoop Lion), first gained fame in 1992 with a guest appearance on Dr. Dre's debut solo single, "Deep Cover," and later that year on Dre's album, The Chronic.
Since then, Snoop Dogg has sold over 35 million albums worldwide and more than 23 million in the US. His accolades include 17 Grammy Award nominations, an American Music Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award.
