SZA continues to surprise fans by showcasing talents beyond her Grammy-winning music career. In an inspiring video shared on Instagram, the TDE star met with Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, and even demonstrated her own gymnastics skills ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
SZA Meets a Role Model
The clip begins with an emotional moment as SZA and Biles embrace, with SZA calling it a “dream” to meet the Olympic champion. During their exchange, SZA shared her own history with gymnastics, explaining that she pursued the sport before her music career took off. “When it was clear to me that I wasn’t gonna be a national gymnast, I was like, ‘Okay, let me see what I can do.’ I needed something to be competitive at,” SZA explained. SZA even demonstrated her skills, pulling off a handstand alongside Biles. Later, the duo backflipped into a foam pit, with SZA enthusiastically declaring: “That was fun as shit.”
Music Stars Join the Olympic Buzz
SZA isn’t the only music icon participating in the Olympic buildup. Last month, Snoop Dogg showcased his athletic prowess by running a 200-meter sprint during Team USA’s track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon.
Wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey and a red, white, and blue outfit, the 52-year-old rap legend clocked in at 34.44 seconds, a time he proudly declared impressive for his age.
Snoop Dogg’s Role in Paris 2024
Snoop Dogg’s involvement in the upcoming Olympic Summer Games extends beyond his sprint. He will join NBCUniversal’s coverage, offering his “unique take” on the events and exploring Paris landmarks. According to reports, he will also interact with athletes, their families, and friends, adding his signature flair to the games.
From SZA’s gymnastics throwback to Snoop Dogg’s athletic exploits, the buildup to the 2024 Paris Olympics is seeing some of music’s biggest stars engaging in inspiring and entertaining ways. With Simone Biles preparing to compete and SZA reminiscing about her gymnast roots, fans can expect an exciting fusion of music, sports, and global celebration.
