Simone Biles' Mom Mildly Scolds Snoop Dogg to His Face At Olympics Over 2010 Encounter
The Paris Olympics have brought together athletes and celebrities alike, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with memorable moments. Among the notable figures present was Snoop Dogg, who was enjoying the festivities when he found himself in a light-hearted exchange with Simone Biles' mother, Nellie Biles. This encounter harkened back to a somewhat awkward moment from 2010 that Nellie was eager to revisit.
During an interview with Hoda Kotb on NBC's "Today" show, Nellie recounted the time she and her then-young daughter, Simone, met Snoop in Times Square. With a smile, she recalled how they had approached the rapper for a photo, only to be met with a quick dismissal. “Snoop, I don’t know if you know this but Simone and you have known each other for a long time, right, Nellie?” Kotb prompted, setting the stage for a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Nellie continued, “I remember — I will never forget — that we met you in Times Square in 2010 and you said — cause we asked for a picture — and you said ‘2 minutes, 1-2’ and you were gone.” The audience could sense the playful tone in her voice, as she gently teased Snoop about the encounter. Snoop, ever the good sport, laughed off the memory, showcasing his laid-back demeanor.
As the conversation shifted, Kotb inquired about Simone's absence from the opening ceremony. Nellie explained that the four-time gold medalist was resting, preparing for the upcoming women's team final. Despite the light-hearted scolding, it was clear that the bond between the Biles family and Snoop Dogg was one of mutual respect and admiration.
While fans might be curious to hear Simone's perspective on her childhood encounter with the iconic rapper, she remains focused on her performance, having already impressed audiences with her skills despite dealing with an injury. The Olympics are a time for athletes to shine, and Simone is no exception, demonstrating her heart and grit as she prepares for the challenges ahead.
This playful exchange between Nellie Biles and Snoop Dogg serves as a reminder of the lighter moments that can occur amidst the intense competition of the Olympics. As the games continue, fans will undoubtedly be watching closely, eager to see how Simone Biles performs and how her story unfolds in the days to come.
