    Snoop Dogg is absolutely one of the main characters of these Olympics—although obviously in a different way to the athletes.

    For his latest trick (ahem, side quest), the rapper gifted the GOAT Simone Biles' dad Ronald Biles a super blingy chain representing his record label Death Row Records' logo to mark the Olympic dad's 75th birthday—kind of like a gold medal of his own.

    Ronald's daughter and Simone's sister Adria shared the sweetest pic on Instagram Stories on Thursday of her father rocking the chain with a Team USA T-shirt and trucker hat, captioning it, "snoop gave him a chain now he don't know how to act" with a laugh-cry emoji.

    It was a happy birthday indeed for Papa Biles, who got to see his gymnast daughter earn a whopping three gold medals and one silver over the course of the competition in Paris. Simone triumphed in both individual and team women's artistic gymnastics events—alongside her teammates Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, and Jade Carey.

    These are Simone's third Olympics, after she first participated in Rio in 2016, followed by Tokyo in 2021.

    As for Snoop, he's been a steady presence at the Olympics, having first made his appearance at the Opening Ceremony. He's also been hanging out with his longtime bestie Martha Stewart, for whom he also sweetly staged a birthday surprise. Snoop seems like the best friend to have in your corner, frankly.
