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.
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…
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.
Greed is a hell of a drug. Don’t pretend this guy has principles or morals.
I’m assuming it has something to do with this
Right? And you can’t buy integrity.
Here at Tegridy Farms…
He might very well “need” the money. People generally evolve spending habits that meet or exceed their incomes, even when those incomes seem impossibly huge by us normal people’s standards.

There was also a 🦁 in there somewhere
Joe Budden and common need to make a record together. Something big to counteract the crip turning blood.
you aren’t allowed to dislike the president anymore.
if you aren’t with him, then you’re just antifa hooligans.
I was antifa hooligan before it was mandatory

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
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
What did Stallone do?
He’s one of Trump’s “special ambassador to Hollywood”
AKA boot licker
On top of being a piece of shit already
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.
When he was my governor (growing up I could see the capitol dome from my house if you stood on the roof) I remember I was at some event and he was being moved by people, some guy asked him some righty chud identity politics bullshit and Arny just looks over at him with this “I have 0 time for your bullshit” face and just says
“Maybe don’t be asshole, hm?” And turns to talk to someone else
Arnold isn’t perfect, at all. He might be the only Republican I’ve seen earn even a micro ounce of respect, though
He posted pretty publicly after Jan 6th about how he grew up in the aftermath of Nazism.
People can be complex, and as a conservative, he’s certainly not on the correct side of every issue, but he’s not afraid to speak against the rise of fascist ideology.
Robin Williams hit the nail on the head when talking about Arnold. A paraphrase could be: “He’s a Democrat about everything but illegal immigration”

As my wife pointed out - has Snoop ever said “you want to pay me? No, I’m not interested”…I see nothing wrong with a performer pulling a paycheck. Could he say no and earn nothing, sure - why would he? I, personally, think that having Snoop in the suck-circle might get weed on the radar as something that needs to be normalized.
Never seen “Nothing wrong with selling out” said so patronizingly.
As Trump had proved - there is no bad publicity, there is only publicity.
Perhaps the message should have been that Snoop was never really in “our” corner. His interests have probably not been in looking out for other people, and so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that he makes a decision that benefits him while (what most expect) harms most of the rest of us.
Maybe the take away is that we shouldn’t assume that any celebrities, even if they have voiced support for marginalized people in the past, will take action that isn’t in their self interest. I won’t echo the sentiment that there is “nothing wrong” with this, but expecting people to act against their self interest may be a bit like trying to shame Sam Jackson’s character from Django Unchained.

That much I agree with. Still holding him responsible for backing fascism.
You know he doesn’t smoke or smoke as much anymore.
has Snoop ever said “you want to pay me? No, I’m not interested”
Who pays you matters.
I would never accept money from Trump. Or rather, I would and very publicly donate it to some cause that makes Trump mad.
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.
for myself I need any work I can get if it pays
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.
Perhaps it’s everything mentioned in the article which includes a list of anti-Trump lyrics he wrote in the past
What’s that thing snoop said about people tripping over themselves to dance and sing for trump?
Hiphopocrite.
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 will say at least Ice T still performs Cop Killer with his band on tour. That song goes hard.
Dave Chappelle comes to mind as well.
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.
Which is really funny because Snoop was a banger
Dude got rich and has now spent more than half his life famous though so he’s super far form those roots now
Snoop can eat a fat dick.
Snoop doggy dog can eat a big fat diiiick.
Seems he actually prefers thin wrinkled stubby ones though.
Snoop are you fucking with me?
Got his friends out of Jail, quid pro quo.
Scumbag
