If this is ringing any bells for you, artist Snoop Dogg received similar criticism for performing at an event celebrating Trump’s inauguration last year. In fact, many former fans also called Snoop a “sellout” and called his previous condemning of Trump into question, with one Instagram user writing, “Listen to what he said 4 years ago about anyone performing for Trump! Biggest disappointment ever!”
Snoop later said that he was unbothered by the criticism because he believed he performed at the event for a good cause. “I DJed at the Crypto Ball for what, 30 minutes? Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help out the inner city and the community, and teach financial literacy and crypto in a space that it don’t exist. That’s 30 minutes. [For] 30 years, Snoop Dogg been doing great things for the community, building, showing up, standing up for the people, making it happen, being all I can be,” he said.
Going on to clarify that he didn’t endorse Trump, Snoop added, “Even if I would have done it for him and hung out with him and took a picture with him, can’t none of you motherfuckers tell me what I can and can’t do. But I’m not a politician. I don’t represent the Republican Party. I don’t represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherfucking Gangster Party period point blank, and G shit we don’t explain shit so that’s why I didn’t explain. That’s why I didn’t go into detail when motherfuckers was trying to cancel me and say he a sellout.”
