Trump's former nemesis angers liberals Performing at the pre-inauguration ball is Snoop Dogg.

 

Despite once shooting the president-elect in a music video, Snoop Dogg performed at a Trump pre-inauguration ball, and his fans are prepared to throw him in the pound. The "Gin and Juice" rapper ended up in the dog house after performing at the Crypto Ball in Washington, DC, on Friday. The event was staged as a celebration of America's first "crypto president" Donald Trump and was a black tie gala organized by cryptocurrency organizations BTC Inc. and Stand With Crypto. David Sacks, the new administration's crypto czar, hosted the event.

 

The rapper can be seen rapping his classic hits, including "Drop it Like it’s Hot" and "Nothing but a 'G' Thang," while operating a turntable in a number of social media videos. Many of Snoop’s fans were outraged by the betrayal, with one furious liberal posting that "It's time to throw @SnoopDogg in the dumpster with the rest of Trump's white supremacist, insurrectionist allies." On an Instagram video of the performance, angry social media users flooded the comments section, claiming that Snoop Dogg "sold out" and that the concert was "embarrassing."

 

Many hip-hop observers are a little taken aback by the "Doggfather's" performance because the rapper has a tense past with Trump and his followers. In the 2017 music video for the song "Lavender" by the Canadian group BADBADNOTGOOD, Snoop Dogg was seen brandishing a gun at a clown who was dressed as the president-elect.

In a video uploaded to his Instagram on January 10, 2017, ten days prior to Trump taking the oath of office, the "Sensual Eruption" rapper had threatened to "roast the f—k" out of any "Uncle Tom a— n---a" who performed at his inauguration.

 

In an interview with The London Times in January 2024, Snoop Dogg stated that he has "Nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump," indicating that he has since changed his mind.

 

"He hasn't done me anything wrong. For me, he has only done wonderful things. Michael Harris was pardoned by him," the rapper declared. Prior to Trump's pardon in January 2021, Michael "Harry-O" Harris, co-founder of Death Row Records, was serving a 25–life sentence for drug trafficking and attempted murder.

 

The Gen Z social media influencer and close friend of Barron Trump, Bou Loudon, posted "Welcome to MAGA, Snoop!" on X, suggesting that conservatives were welcoming Snoop into the fold.
