Snoop Dogg Addresses Criticism After Trump Inauguration

Snoop Dogg has addressed the backlash he received for performing at Donald Trump's inauguration celebration. In an Instagram video, Snoop expressed that despite the criticism, he's "still 100 percent Black" and resolute in countering hate with love. Before his performance at the Crypto Ball on January 17 alongside Rick Ross and Soulja Boy, Snoop was a vocal critic of Trump and others who supported him, like Kanye West. Snoop’s past criticisms have often pointed out how Trump intensified divisions among people. Snoop, in particular, chastised those supporting the former president, associating them with racist ideologies. This is prepared by SSP.

In a recent "R&B Money Podcast" appearance, Snoop discussed handling negativity, saying he chooses to respond with "success and love." Even amid significant unfollows on social media after his performance, the spirit of unity remains central to his message. "We need to uplift one another," he emphasized, highlighting the importance of love as a response to hate.

Interestingly, Snoop’s perspective on Trump has evolved since 2021 — particularly after Trump's pardon of Death Row Records co-founder, Michael Harris. Snoop's newfound appreciation reflects a more nuanced view, noting that Trump "has done only great things" for him, as mentioned in a January 2024 interview with The Sunday Times.
