Snoop Dogg isn’t the only rapper who performed at a President Donald Trump Inaugural event this weekend, but he is the one getting the most heat.
On Friday (January 17), various celebrities, including singers and rappers, came together in Washington, D.C., to celebrate President Donald Trump’s return to office. Among the performers at Trump’s first-ever Crypto Ball were Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, and Soulja Boy. Some fans on social media criticized the rappers for performing at the event in light of their past criticism of Trump.
Snoop Dogg is getting the most heat since he criticized Trump voters last year in a video shared on social media. “Let’s make it clear, you vote for who you wanna vote for, it’s fine with me, but one of my homies, he was just like, ‘I can’t wait ’til Trump get back in here. He had a n**ga eatin’,” Snoop said in the clip. “And I just don’t want nobody to be delusional,” he said at the time. “You can’t be a delusional n***a. Did he have you eating or was it a nationwide, worldwide pandemic and you n***as stole the money?”
Fans on X reshared the video this weekend, slamming Snoop Dogg for the performance. “Now mind you, Snoop had a lot to say about Black artists performing at his first inauguration,” one user on X wrote while sharing the video of Snoop going off on his friend for supporting Trump. Another fan wrote, “Tupac was right about Snoop, he plays both sides and does anything for a check.”
“Ok Hollywood don’t ever push SnoopDog on us again. He made his money. We don’t need to see him anymore. He made it very clear that he can’t even stand by his own words,” another person said.
Rick Ross also performed at the event, while Nelly is booked to perform at the Inaugural Liberty Ball on Monday. Snoop Dogg has not responded to the criticisms he is getting on social media despite fans flooding his Instagram with comments condemning his performance at the event.
