Ain’t nothing but a free thang.
Snoop Dogg’s credit card was declined during dinner at a restaurant in Italy — so he repaid the owners with five tickets to the 2026 Winter Olympics snowboarding finals.
“Grazie, Snoop!” Sofia Valmadre, daughter of the restaurant’s owners, said in a video posted on X.
The 54-year-old hip-hop legend is in Italy working as an NBC correspondent for the upcoming Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
While in Livigno, he stopped by the gastropub Cronox and ordered a cheeseburger, chicken wings, chicken nuggets and French fries, Valmadre said.
When his card didn’t go through, the owners told him not to worry about it and sent him on his way with a free meal.
Snoop returned the favor — Olympic style.
