Tuesday, August 13, 2024 -Hip-hop legend Dr. Dre has set his sights on an unexpected goal for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles—not as a performer, but as a competitor in archery.
The iconic rapper and producer
revealed his Olympic aspirations during an interview with Nischelle Turner of
Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, August 13.
"I'm try'na try out for the
Olympics in 2028," Dr. Dre announced, making it clear that he's "dead
ass serious" about his intentions. When asked which sport he plans to
compete in, Dre, 59, confidently responded, "Archery." He went on to
share that his interest in archery dates back to his junior high school days
when he was part of a team. Although his passion for the sport waned over the
years, it was recently rekindled by his son, who gifted him archery targets for
Father's Day.
"I have it set up in my
backyard, and I heard qualifying for the Olympics is 77 feet. I practice at
90," Dre said, underscoring his commitment to honing his skills.
As Los Angeles prepares to host the
2028 Summer Games, Dr. Dre's announcement adds an exciting and unexpected twist
to the countdown. The music mogul, known for hits like "Nuthin' But a G
Thang," might just trade the mic for a bow and arrow, aiming for Olympic
glory in his hometown.
