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.

    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.

      Not to defend him, but sources I found said he was an accomplice, not the one to pulled the trigger. He was the getaway driver.

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

    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

        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

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

      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

    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.

      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.

      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?

    He’s a collaborator. As is anyone who legitimizes, supports, or serves Trump and the fascist Republican party.

      Based on personal believes I wouldn’t like perform for Trump if I was in Snoops position. But there’s no denying that Trump is legitimately the president starting this evening and by your logic anyone that works for trump directly or indirectly as part of the government legitimizes or serves Trump as president in one way or another

        No, that’s not how my logic works. Bureaucrats, technocrats, and representatives are serving the Constitution and the American people. They are not serving Trump. Snoop doesn’t have to perform at the inauguration. He chose to work for Trump.

        Trump is a traitor, rapist, authoritarian, un-American, anti-democratic, an oligarch, a wannabe gangster, conman, antichrist, and an all around piece of shit.

        Anyone who tolerates him is also a piece of shit and an enemy of all free people.

          The people in the government will now have to follow Trumps orders since he has the power to fire them and he wants to use it widely to replace them with yes-men. Yes the people working in the government are serving the people not the president. But you know he will get rid of people who won’t show him loyalty and for 4 years he’s kinda their boss. Collaborator makes it sound like the republican party is occupying the US illegally which it is not since they won (sadly).

          The citizens of the US (the free people you’re talking about) voted him into office by their own volition

            Yes I know Trump will get rid of disloyal public servants. He’ll do thst because he is a tyrant. Public servants do not have to do shit if it’s against the constitution. In fact, it’s their duty to refuse unlawful orders even if it means termination.

            The Republican party is at war with the American people and the Constitution. They and Trump legally have positions of power but they have proven by past actions and statements about their future actions that they have no intention of following the constitution, or even basic law. Anyone who supports them supports their illegal and un-American agenda. They are not different than collaborators with any other fascist party in history.

              So you’d argue a civil servant that follows and order from trump that is legal but creates problems in one way or another for the American people are a collaborator? I don’t think we can speak of the word collaborator since up to now he has gained power completely legally and as long as you don’t help him carry out unconstitutional acts I don’t think this includes them.
