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.

    you aren’t allowed to dislike the president anymore.

    if you aren’t with him, then you’re just antifa hooligans.

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

    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.

      Republicans are nothing like Ned Flanders, unless I missed the episode where he breaks from everything Jesus has ever done, and started diddling kids…

          Flanders 1. Isn’t Catholic and 2. Actually follows the spirit of Jesus’ teachings, unlike most Christians, it’s kind of the point of the character

      It’s like the Democrats and the Democratic Party have vanished from the face of the earth since election day. Everyone and their mom are kissing the ring of the returning king. It’s pretty shameful to watch.

        The important thing is that we remember. Every last one of these shitbags who are kissing the ring must never be allowed to wash their hands of the stink of Trump.

        If some public figure or company kowtows to Trump, they might as well be dead to me. I’m not going to forget that shit in 4 years when Trump is gone and they try to go back to pretending that they are on our side.

      I honestly can’t ever believe he ever had your respect in the first place.

      Why? Because he’s another jack ass dancing around stage?

      I lost respect for him a while ago, actually I don’t think I ever respected him and more enjoyed his music.

      He’s a fence sitter and it’s hard to know what he believes in. Look at the KDot thing where he was sharing a Drake song and when KDot called it out was like yeah my bad I was high.

        The only thing he believes in is making money. His attitude is if white people are dumb enough to give him money then he will willingly take it.

        This dude came from the ghetto slinging crack.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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

          Trump isn’t nearly as widely loved and defended for his crimes as Snoop is, as weird as that sounds with MAGA in existence

          I’ve also been downvoted for saying Snoop is a shitstain before and I’ve quite obviously been more vocal about Trump if you look at my account

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