Dr. Dre has voiced his displeasure with the breakdancing competition at this year’s Olympics, taking aim at the performance of one particular athlete.
The 2024 Olympics marked a historic moment as breakdancing, a key element of Hip Hop culture, made its debut on the global stage. The competition featured some of the most talented b-boys and b-girls from around the world, showcasing their impressive athleticism.
However, the event was not without controversy, as Australia’s Rachael “Raygun” Gunn became the subject of scrutiny for her unconventional routine.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dr. Dre shared his thoughts on the inaugural Olympic breakdancing competition. “I wasn’t impressed,” Dre said. “There are so many amazing breakdancers out there, I’m not sure why they chose this particular person.”
While he admitted that Gunn’s performance provided some comedic relief, Dre was ultimately left bewildered. “I got a few laughs, but seriously, what was that? With so many incredible breakdancers out there right now, I can’t understand how this happened.”
The legendary producer’s remarks have sparked a debate within the Hip Hop community, with many questioning the selection process for the Olympic breakdancing competition. As breakdancing continues to gain recognition on the world stage, it’s clear that the expectations are high, and not everyone is hitting the mark.
