Dr. Dre’s got plenty of gold records, but his new hustle might put him near some gold medals.
he’s going to help bring the 2024 Olympic Games to his home city of Los Angeles. Dre’s using his influence as part of the board of directors to try and persuade the Olympic Committee. Other stars on the board include basketball legend Magic Johnson, opera singer Placido Domingo and record exec David Geffen.
They’re also putting their money where their mouths are — the 117 board members have donated a combined $50 million to the cause. (HipHopDX)
Fasho Thoughts:
- The Olympic Committee is deciding between Los Angeles and Paris as a site for the 2024 games. Both cities have hosted the Olympics before.
- The 2020 games are in Tokyo. What city would you like to see the 2024 Olympics in?
- If the Olympics come to Los Angeles, Dre has to put together an anthem for Team USA.
- Hosting the Olympics is almost always a bad financial deal.
