ALBAWABA - Reports stunned Snoop Dogg's legion of fans when they said the American rapper was not supporting his country's delegation at the 2024 Paris Olympics as a "volunteer" but was instead there to cash in on a massive payday.
The British newspaper "Daily Mail" reports that "Dogg," whose real name is "Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.", receives half a million dollars "a day" from the television broadcast network "NBC" for his cooperation during the Paris Olympic Games, which began on July 26 and will continue until next Sunday.
53-year-old Snoop earned an enormous amount for his work as a reporter, analyst, and commentator for the channel, during which he provided commentary on the badminton match between the US and China teams.
Additionally, on Wednesday, technical reports surfaced stating that Snoop would get almost $8.5 million for the 17 days he will stay in Paris until the Olympics conclude.
There was a story in the German daily "Bild" that said an NBC staffer told them that Snoop Dogg would be getting about $15 million from the Olympics, plus a TV ratings bonus.
The "Economic Times" reports that Snoop Dogg's legion of followers think the renowned rapper "deserved" all the money he received for his Olympic performance this year. However, some believe the rapper will receive twice as much as he has disclosed.
According to businessman Henry McNamara's "X" platform account, an NBC official informed him that Snoop Dogg earns half a million dollars per day, on top of his own costs, to promote the Olympics. It is an incredible planet!
"Snoop" was the channel's pick, according to analysts, because of his extensive background in the industry, including his participation in the 2013 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and his presentation of a distinguished duo with comedian Kevin Hart. The analysts also noted that the channel's coverage of the Olympics generated tens of millions of views
