Dogg showcased a very special gesture toward Biles’ father, Ronald Biles, by gifting him a Death Row Records chain on his 75th birthday. Fast forward to now, and Biles will again be seen with Dogg on NBC’s ‘The Voice,’ which is a reality television show. The rap star is a coach on the show and has selected Biles to be a guest mentor in the playoff round and advise five participants.
In an interview, Snoop Dogg said that pairing up with Biles in the show was a good idea because she has stellar experience when it comes to competition and has an accurate understanding of the competitive mindset. (As quoted by the Washington Times)
“We have such diverse careers. But the things that we dealt with, they’re dealing with now,” said Snoop Dogg.
“We have the best experience and knowledge to give to these performers. She’s a performer. I’m a performer. We’ve performed under extreme conditions. We always do our best. But sometimes things happen behind closed doors that you don’t know about. So, we’re able to speak to those things and give them real reassurance.”
