Simone Biles Is Mentoring Alongside Snoop Dogg, While This Gymnastics Star Once Had ‘The Voice’ Coaches Shocked
Among the celebrities who came to Paris to support the U.S. team, rapper Snoop Dogg stood out. The multiplatinum musician commented on the Summer Olympics, mingled with Team USA’s stars and even presented gifts to some of their families, including Simone Biles’ father. Now the 53-year-old is welcoming Ron Biles’ daughter into his world.
Watch what’s hot now!
That’s right, the 53-year-old sports fanatic will be appearing on Season 26 of The Voice with the help of Biles, the three-time Olympic gold medalist. Five Snoop Dogg artists are competing to make the playoffs for season 26, which is why Biles was rightfully named playoff consultant for the Grammy’s third-most nominated artist. However, you may ask: “What does Olympian know about singing or rap?” And you wouldn’t be wrong.
However, Simone Biles did not inform participants about how to take their performance. Instead, Simone Biles gave them advice on how to overcome adversity, according to NBC. “For us, it was about building confidence for next week,” Biles told The Associated Press before the episode premiered Monday. But still. There was an Olympic gymnast who came to “The Voice” not as a consultant, but as a participant. Advertisement

In April 2022, Tokyo 2020 Olympic star Dominic Clarke wowed the judges of The Voice Australia. The trampoline gymnast needed just 23 seconds to spin his chair over Guy Sebastian. Rita Ora followed seconds later, while Clarke continued with a moving version of Sam Fisher’s 2020 hit “This City.”
At the end of the performance, Jessica Mauboy and country music icon Keith Urban joined forces to face off against the Tokyo 2020 finalists, honoring the gymnast and singer with a standing ovation. But it was only after Sebastian, 27, asked the Australian gymnast about her Olympic rings tattoo that she opened up about her sporting history.

Has Simone Biles managed to make things less scary? The episode will be broadcast on Monday, but the duo is already shooting it on Los-Andheles. The AP communication caught up with 16 rappers nominated for the Olympic medalist at 11:00 and the Grammy Award. While discussing how he works with the rookies, Snoop Dogg explained why he chose the defending world champion as his advisor.
“She’s a performer. I’m an artist. We played in extreme conditions. “We’re always trying our best,” Snoop Dogg said of Simone Biles, but the musician explained that not everyone knows the kind of mental preparation that “happens behind closed doors” and how someone who reaches great heights in their field is prepared.

“So we can talk to these people and give them a real sense of security,” said the 53-year-old. Biles supported the rapper’s opinion. “We joked around with each other and it gave the artists a better performance,” Biles said of working with the man who gave her father a special gift in Paris.
The 30-time world medalist knows nothing about singing, but she knows everything about preparing for the big stage. “These are learning stages: You learn, you internalize, you come back and do the work,” Simone Biles said about dedicating herself to any discipline, whether it’s gymnastics or singing on The Voice , but only time will tell how much time the participants spent with the gymnastics legend.
