Summary

Snoop Dogg faced backlash from fans after performing at the “Crypto Ball,” a black-tie event celebrating Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration.

Snoop, who once criticized Trump in his music and public statements, praised him in 2024 and performed his hit “Nuthin’ but a G Thang” at the $2,500-$5,000 per ticket event hosted by tech moguls.

Fans labeled the performance “embarrassing” and “disrespectful,” citing his past anti-Trump sentiments, including a music video and song that mocked Trump during his first term.

    It’s interesting how the past few months have made it super easy to tell who is an indefensible piece of shit. Lots of previously unassuming-to-“cool” personalities suddenly going whole-hog for fascism in the US.

      Stallone is one I never thought about in a political sense and now I know he’s a piece of shit, and I don’t want you watch him anymore. Gibson was a guy who everyone knew was trash but he just keeps doubling down, Jon voight as well, plus he bit Kramer’a arm that time

        I’ve always prefered Schwarzenegger anyway.

        Not to imply that he hasn’t done his fair share of awful things. But at least he refuses to side with fascists.

      Gotta love Trump for being the world’s brightest shit-finding flashlight at least. Snoop can burn in hell with Carrie underwood.

      I’m someone who for years has been downvoted for saying so and for pointing out his past gang ties and profiteering off crime, I also get downvoted when I point out Tyson is a rapist piece of shit and to this day wants to cause harm to the woman he raped.

        trump is a rapist, are you as active about your proselytizing about that? Seems your focus may have been exclusively on black people that are bad dudes, maybe that was part of what people were picking up on and down voting.

        Maybe you’re one of those broken clocks.

          Dude are you high? How does me calling out one rapist mean I’m ok with a whole different piece of shit rapist?

          It’s funny you’re the one who jumped on race, I’m not white so I didn’t even think about it. Seems racism is forefront in your mind, or you’re just one of those little shits who wants to get offended over everything and white knighting for ethnic people cause you’re a colonizer who still thinks he’s poppa and is coloured folk can’t defend ourselves without your white ass, that’s called colonial racism, thinking you’re better so you need to defend them

    He’s a collaborator. As is anyone who legitimizes, supports, or serves Trump and the fascist Republican party.

    Come on man. This dude has always been a sellout.

    He’s always been on my shit list. I’ve never liked him. Now I have even MORE reason to dislike this fuck bag.

    Fuck this murdering piece of shit.

      Not to defend him, but sources I found said he was an accomplice, not the one to pulled the trigger. He was the getaway driver.

    It’s been pretty clear for a while now that Snoop is a poser, just like Ice T. They play a part, but they don’t actually stand for anything. It’s a shame that, as they’ve aged, these assholes have undermined the merit of their earlier work.

    I soured on Snoop a couple years ago when I realized that he is a brand and not a genuine person.

    It’s not like he even needs the money, like he was in a desperate situation and it was this gig or lose the farm. Just did it because he doesn’t care and is greedy. Disgusting and disappointing.

    Why are we shocked? His whole party is full of hypocrites, liars, turncoats, and felons. What’s one more?

      I’m pretty sure the outcry isn’t about him hosting Snoop…

    Lol Snoop Dogg has been a doggie dog sellout for a very long doggie dog time. The dude that rapped on Deep Cover, the Chronic, and Doggystyle might as well be a completely different dude altogether from the asshat pushing cell phones and making TV appearances with Martha Stewart. The same applies for Ice Cube.

      Don’t forget when he was pushing the Bored Ape NFTs. He apparently will do anything for money.
