Simone Biles is joining “The Voice” as a playoff advisor and some fans are flipping out over the surprising choice.
On Thursday, NBC announced that the Olympic gold medalist, who is the most decorated gymnast in history, would appear on the network’s flagship singing competition as an advisor for Team Snoop after the rap legend Snoop Dogg recruited her for the position.
Biles, known as the GOAT, is fresh off a groundbreaking run during her third Olympic Games in Paris where she won four medals: three gold medals from the team, all-around and vault competitions and a silver on floor exercise.
Biles’ “The Voice” episode premieres 7 p.m. central time Monday. In a recent interview, Biles told the Associated Press that she and Snoop Dogg were a gold medal-deserving duo.
“We were able to riff off each other and give the artists the best insight going into the next round,” Biles said in an interview with the AP. “It was pretty easy, simple. 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.”
But some fans were “baffled” by the decision to have Biles while others on IG defended the GOAT.
