‘You just described me,’ Snoop Dogg replied with a chuckle. ‘You said wingspan, lung power. I definitely have great lung power.’
The ‘lung power comment’ got a laugh out of Phelps, as the Long Beach native is known for his cannabis smoking habits.
Snoop Dogg was then shown swimming across the pool, in his non-Olympic-like form. Afterward, Phelps showed he had not missed a beat despite his playing days behind him.
The American holds a record 28 Olympic medals, 23 of which are gold.
‘Mike, you make this look too easy,’ Snoop Dogg said. ‘As you see, I’m in gold medal condition. And he’s still in gold medal condition, as we speak.’
The rapper told the 28-time Olympic medalsit he is still in ‘gold medal form’ at the end
