The rap legend, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, has been spotted all around Paris watching events like the swimming, the rugby and even being spotted in full equestrian kit at the dressage.
He even fell in love with a 'crip-walking' horse after falling in love with the sport.
And NBC has been reaping the benefits with everyone loving Snoop, with the broadcaster claiming that they had 35.4 million viewers on Sunday.
Three years ago at the Tokyo Olympics on the same day, the audience number was half of that figure.

But NBC have had to reach deep in their pockets with German outlet reporting that the 52-year-old could make up to £11.78million ($15m) across the Games.
To break that down, he may pocket a whopping £393,000 per day.
And his reported salary could even include a TV ratings bonus.
NBC secured a mouth-watering £4.5billion broadcasting deal with the International Olympic Committee in 2014 that will run until 2032.
