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.

    Snoop has always been a second rate sell out who has to make up words to be able to rhyme. He can fuck right off this planet. He’s worn out his welcome

    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.

    Who cares? There have been many celebrities who perform for autocrats and oligarchs in other countries, too. This is just our broligarchy…

      Who cares?

      Well the title says snoop fans care… Can you read? I think it’s less the celebrity performance and more the hypocrisy that they care about though.

        Yeah, fair, and I get it. I don’t love it either.

        I’m just saying millionaire celebrities are not something to pin one’s hopes on for any sort of integrity. There are many that have performed for other dictators. This is just one more to add to that list…

      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.

        I can see why you’d say that but they still seem like distinctly separate situations. I also dont think people are generally confused on where he stands on a given topic.

    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.
