Commenting on her act, Dr. Dre added:

“I did not like that. It’s so many great breakdancers, I don’t know why they had this particular person doing that. It was funny, I got some laughs out of it, but what the f–k? There are incredible breakdancers out right now — I don’t know how that happened."

Furthermore, the rapper then expressed his interest in competing in the next Olympics, which are scheduled for 2028. Dr. Dre stated that he wishes to be part of the USA Archery Team:

"I’m trying to tryout for the Olympics in 2028. I’m dead-a*s serious."

He continued and exclaimed how he was actively involved in archery during his junior high years, however, he stopped for many years before developing an interest in the game once again.

Also called B-Boying, the newly introduced sport consisted of two categories, one for women and the other for men.
