While Simone Biles is undoubtedly a legend in the world of gymnastics, 2024 saw the American try her hand at something new. In November, the 27-year-old teamed up with rapper Snoop Dogg and made an appearance as a playoff advisor on ‘The Voice’.

Biles was recruited to come on the show by the rapper during the Paris Olympics, and he later told AP that he felt the two of them could impart important knowledge about performing to the participants.

“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.”.

Three years ago, at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Simone Biles was forced to withdraw from multiple finals due to mental health issues as she dealt with the ‘twisties’. While many praised her decision to stand up for herself, the gymnast also drew plenty of criticism.

This year, at the Paris Olympics, Biles successfully shut down all critics. The American began her campaign at the Games by helping Team USA reclaim the gold in the all-around event.

Individually, she qualified for the all-around, floor, vault, and balance beam finals. In the all-around and vault events, the 27-year-old walked away with gold medals, while she settled for silver on the floor behind Brazil's Rebecca Andrade.

Biles' outing in Paris tied her with Věra Čáslavská as the second-most decorated female Olympic gymnast. Her 11 Olympic medals are also the most earned by any U.S. gymnast
