Snoop Dogg‘s blazin’ in Paris … or, at least his left hand was — ’cause the dude carried the Olympic flame Thursday marking a huge moment for himself and hip hop culture.
The rapper carried the torch through the northern Parisian suburb Saint-Denis … and check out the pics ’cause Snoop looks like one proud pup while doing his part to get the flame to its final destination.
Snoop — clad in an all-white tracksuit with “Paris 2024” and the Olympic rings splayed across the back — waves to the crowd during his portion of the jaunt, staring at the torch in awe.
This all went off without a hitch, BTW … nobody got burnt and Snoop didn’t drop it’s like it’s hot — so, the torch is still on schedule.
As we’ve told you … the torch relay began in Greece way back in April — with the torch making rounds all across France in the weeks since, and it’ll reach its final resting place Friday.
Organizers announced Snoop as a torchbearer earlier this week, another event in his packed Olympics schedule — he’s already met with members of the U.S. team and will join NBC for their coverage this week.

It’s a major moment for the worldwide hip hop community — seeing one of the game’s legends on the world’s biggest stage — with Flavor Flav telling TMZ he’s sure people will be talking about Snoop’s torch walk years from now.
Now the real question … did Snoop use the flame to light anything up? 👀
