- "Sat next to an NBC exec at dinner, he said Snoop gets paid $500k a day plus expenses to be here promoting Olympics," McNamara posted on X. "From Gin and Juice [Snoop Dogg's song released in 1994] to a few million to be a celebrity at the Olympics – what a world."
- If his salary is confirmed, Snoop Dogg's earnings would exceed $8.5m for his presence spanning the 17-day Paris Olympics period.

- Sentiments from multiple X users in the comments section of McNamara’s post include: "Worth every penny," "Worth it! Snoop Dogg is rocking the @Olympics," and "He is worth 2X that amount. Snoop is America."
- Another social media user noted: "He’s going to be a coach on the upcoming season of The Voice, so NBC probably considers it marketing."
