Biles was hired as the advisor by Dogg after their initial interactions during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the gymnast won three gold medals and a silver. She participated in the Gold Over America Tour following the Games and later made her debut on the 26th season of The Voice on November 25.

The 27-year-old has been tasked with sharing strategies for stress management, stage confidence and resilience skills. During her debut on Monday's episode, the seven-time Olympic champion revealed important advice given to her by her mother and relayed it to contestant Aliyah Khaylyn, who was part of Snoop Dogg's team.

"My mom would always tell me to be the best Simone because at the end of the day, it's me myself and I out there and if you start repeating these to yourself I got it, step into that power, own it, you really become who you are talking about," she said. [0:40 onwards]

Khaylyn, 23, delivered a mesmerizing performance on Whitney Houston's 1992 hit "I Have Nothing" afterward and received high praise from the American rapper.

"I saw greatness. I believe Simone Biles gave you some information about standing in your own power. You stood in your power tonight. I’m trying to hold back the tears because you set yourself up for stardom and I’m honored to have been your coach. You pleased me tonight," Snoop Dogg said following her performance (via People).

However, the rapper still cut her from the playoff rounds and chose to go with Jeremy Beloate and Christina Eagle.

While Simone Biles has very little knowledge of singing, she's a performer with loads of confidence, having competed in front of large crowds for over a decade now. The Olympic champion is hoping to have instilled some of that confidence in the contestants during her appearance on the show on Monday (Nov. 25).

"We were able to riff off each other and give the artists the best insight going into the next round. It was pretty easy and 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," she told the Associated Press in an interview.

The 27-year-old received tremendous support from Snoop Dogg during the 2024 Paris Olympics. The rapper was present at nearly all of her event finals and was sported wearing a custom t-shirt for the gymnast.
