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.

    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.
