What's the Olympics without a little celebrity? The 2024 Paris Olympics has seen all the stars come out to support Team USA, but no one's been a bigger fan than Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav.

The iconic rappers have made their presence known around the City of Lights, becoming two of the biggest hype men for our Olympians than anyone in attendance. They're loving it, social media has been loving it, and NBC definitely loves it, nabbing over 34 million viewers on the first day of Olympics coverage alone.

It's crazy what old age and wisdom can do to someone, especially now that the most iconic gangsta rappers of the '90s have basically become wholesome girl dads.

That said, even before the Games started, X (formerly Twitter) was set alight when Snoop brought out the Olympic torch during the opening ceremonies.

There also needs to be a shout-out to Public Enemy founder Flavor Flav, who has been sponsoring the U.S. women's water polo team. It's a pairing you never knew you needed to see until now, with Flav signing a five-year sponsorship deal to help the team's financial woes — thus becoming the team's biggest and official hype man.

The internet and all the Team USA fans in the country love the vibes they've brought to the events and the sweet, sweet memes that have been created in their wake.
