Paris, France — In a heartwarming moment at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Ronald Biles, father of gymnastics superstar Simone Biles, received an unforgettable birthday gift from none other than Snoop Dogg. The legendary rapper gifted the elder Biles a Death Row Records chain, which he proudly wore while celebrating his 75th birthday with family in Paris.
Snoop Dogg, who has been adding his unique flair to the Olympics as a special correspondent for NBC, was spotted enjoying the games alongside his BFF Martha Stewart. His lively presence in the crowd, including dancing and providing play-by-play commentary, has made him a fan favorite at this year’s games.
The rapper shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, of him watching the track events with Ronald Biles, capturing a special moment between the two. Meanwhile, Biles’ younger sister, Adria, took to Instagram to post a picture of their father sporting the new chain in the Olympic stands, playfully captioning it, “Snoop gave him a chain now he don’t know how to act 🤣.” She added a heartfelt message, “75 looks great on you! Happy birthday, I love you 🤍.”
Simone Biles also shared her love for her dad on Instagram, posting a photo of Ronald preparing to blow out the candles on his birthday cake. This family celebration came amidst Simone’s own historic achievements at the Olympics, where she became the most decorated American gymnast by adding four more medals to her collection: three gold and one silver.
