Simone Biles’ father, Ronald Biles, received the most incredible gift from Snoop Dogg at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
The elder Biles, who is celebrating his 75th birthday with his family in Paris, was given a Death Row Records necklace by the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper, which he proudly wore around his neck.
Snoop has had unforgettable moments at the Olympics as NBC’s special correspondent and has been spotted dancing in the audience at competitions and providing live commentary alongside his best friend Martha Stewart.
He also watched a track and field class with Biles and posted a video for X showing the two competing together.
In her Instagram story, Biles’ younger sister Adria shared a photo of their father rocking the chain while sitting in the stands at the Olympics. She captioned the snap, “Snoop gave him a chain now he doesn’t know how to act 🤣.”
She added: “75 looks great on you! Happy birthday, I love you 🤍.”
Biles took to Instagram to thank her father. In her story, she shared a photo of her father blowing out the candles on his birthday cake.
At the Olympics, Biles became the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history as she added four more medals – three gold and one silver – to her impressive home collection.
Speaking to TODAY’s Hoda Kotb after her performance at the Games, the 27-year-old explained that she would not be where she is today without the support of her father and mother, Nellie Biles.
When Biles was 6 years old, she and Adria were adopted by Ronald Biles, her biological grandfather, and his wife Nellie Biles.
At that time, the girls lived in foster families because their biological mother had drug and alcohol problems and was often in prison.
However, under the couple’s care, Biles discovered gymnastics and received great support from them.
So when Hoda Biles asked what helped her get to where she is today, she thought of her parents, who have supported her every step of the way.
“Without my parents and the adoption, I wouldn’t be here today,” she said on TODAY on August 6.
