One of the world’s greatest athletes will be joining Snoop Dogg in his quest to find new talent. Simone Biles will be joining The Voice as a guest mentor.

As spotted on The Grio the American Olympian is taking her talents to the entertainment industry. This week the Spring, TX native announced that she will be appearing on the reality television series to assist the “Next Episode” rapper. In a recent interview with The Associated Press she revealed how the taping went. “We were able to riff off each other and give the artists the best insight going into the next round,” the gymnast explained.

To hear her tell it the offer checked a lot of boxes for her. “It was pretty easy, simple,” she said. “We’re both very mellow. But if we need to bring that energy up, then we can. For us, it was about instilling confidence going into the next week.” While winners can recognize other winners she did admit that she is taking the opportunity serious and took the time out to get an understanding on her role and the expectations that come with it. “These are the learning steps: Learn, process, go back in and work,” she added. “They all have the vocal talent. It’s about harnessing that, knowing when to bring it out and which songs to sing and which genre you fit in. And what you want your legacy to be. This is truly a special show as well as the judging. They don’t get to see the physical appearance first. It’s all off of ears, listening and putting their craft together as well.”

Simone Biles and Snoop Dogg’s chemistry dates back to the Paris Olympics. The two had several fun moments during the games including some banter that went viral. Additionally, Snoop gifted her father Ronald Boles a Deathrow Records pendant. You can see her debut as the Team Snoop Playoffs Advisor on Monday, Nov. 25 on NBC.
