Snoop Dogg and A’ja Wilson enjoyed some popcorn courtside ahead of the men’s basketball quarterfinal showdown between Team USA and Brazil at the Paris Olympics.
The rapper and the WNBA star took their seats ahead of the NBA stars’ first elimination game after clearing their group games against Serbia, South Sudan, and Puerto Rico.
On the other hand, Brazil qualified for the knockout games despite losing their first two games to France and Germany. They bounced back with a win over Japan in their final group game on August 2.
Wearing their support on their sleeves, Snoop Dogg wore a shirt with the Olympic rings printed in front and the American flag patterns on the sleeves. He also had a red bandana on his right knee, a blue one on his right, and a pair of Team USA socks.
On the other hand, the Las Vegas Aces star wore a white Ralph Lauren ensemble with red and blue stripes on the collar and sleeves.

Snoop Dogg has been one of the brightest non-athlete stars in Paris for his undying support for Team USA across events. The rapper is also providing content and commentary for NBC during the games.
Earlier in the Olympics, Snoop Dogg went viral as he cheered and celebrated Team USA swimmers’ gold medal in the 4×100 freestyle relay.
Caeleb Dressel, Chris Guiliano, Jack Alexy, and Hunter Armstrong made up the team and handily secured the win. The quartet posted a time of 3:9:28, with second-place Australia clocking in at 3:10:35.
Additionally, the rapper was seen waving and dancing with Simone Biles and her teammate Jordan Chiles during the team final in women’s gymnastics.
