Snoop Dogg and Billie Jean King have proven that the Olympics are the ultimate event for bringing people together.

The unlikely duo were sat together as Rafael Nadal took on Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros on Monday afternoon.

Snoop Dogg, renowned as one of the world’s most famous rappers, has been lapping up Paris life in recent days and is showing no signs of slowing down.

After carrying the Olympic torch on Friday, the 52-year-old was in attendance to watch Simone Biles as she made her Olympic comeback on Sunday.

Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, sat alongside King, who was a much more predictable attendee at Nadal vs Djokovic, having won 39 grand slams on her way to becoming one of tennis’ most iconic stars.

What wasn’t predictable, was seeing the two of them side by side.

Having spotted the pair during the coverage of the Olympic tennis clash, fans took to social media to express their surprise.ụhnuj

One fan wrote: “Snoop Dogg next to Billie Jean King is the most random thing I’ve seen in a minute.”

A second person wrote: “Nothing more iconic than Snoop Dogg and Billie Jean KIng discussing tennis.”

“Who had Billie Jean King hanging with Snoop Dogg on their bingo card,” wrote a third, while someone else said: “This is my Multiverse of Madness.”

A fifth fan wrote: “There’s a partnership we didn’t think we’d see!”

Meanwhile one final supporter said: “To be a fly on the wall next to Billie Jean King and Snoop Dogg watching Novak Djokovic vs. Rafael Nadal…”

As far as contests go, Snoop Dogg and King couldn’t have picked a better encounter to watch as two of the sport’s biggest legends faced off.

Unfortunately, fans weren’t able to watch the whole match on the BBC, with the coverage stopping midway through the match.

One fan wrote: “I have no idea how Olympic TV rights work. I was watching Djokovic-Nadal… then the BBC stream just ended.”
