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 have the safety in your life apparently to decide that your moral high ground is more important than your income. I can not speak for Snoop but for myself I need any work I can get if it pays.
He bought $15M in NFTs three years ago. Chaps not hurting for scratch.
Snoop is worth ~160M he could definitely have turned down this gig
People really out here defending the poor poor millionaires living paycheck to paycheck.
Is he? Those things about celebs are often very wrong.
There’s a fat orange fascist with a dumb platinum combover in Florida who desperately needs his ass kicked. I bet you could get a lot of people to pay you to do that.
