Olympics pin featuring Snoop Dogg is a hot item in Paris

PARIS ― The hottest item at the 2024 Paris Olympics is a Snoop Dogg pin.
Not even the man himself owns one. And don't ask him for the Olympic-themed collectible, as "D-O-double-G" doesn't know the first place to find his pin.
“I don’t have an answer for that,” Snoop said when asked about the supply. “I’m going to be honest with you, I have zero answer for that.
“I’ll have to get y’all a sidebar on that.”
But he doesn’t have them?

“Look at me,” the rap said, unzipping the top of his jumpsuit. “I don’t have no pins on.”
The pin shows Snoop exhaling smoke in the form of the Olympic rings logo with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Team USA flagbearer Coco Gauff got her hands on one — and credited Snoop for giving it to her, casting aspersions on Snoop's claim he's clueless when it comes to his pins.
Pins are an often-traded collectible at each Olympics in a tradition that dates back to 1896, per NBC. Many Olympic diehards take the bartering seriously.
Snoop's closest coworkers, such as NBC's Olympics host Mike Tirico, don't have the pin.
“I’m kind of disappointed,” said Tirico, who has requested them to no avail.
The pin does not appear to be available for purchase at any Games-sanctioned stores. For the vast majority of the world, the hunt continues.
