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.

    Who cares? There have been many celebrities who perform for autocrats and oligarchs in other countries, too. This is just our broligarchy…

      Who cares?

      Well the title says snoop fans care… Can you read? I think it’s less the celebrity performance and more the hypocrisy that they care about though.

        Yeah, fair, and I get it. I don’t love it either.

        I’m just saying millionaire celebrities are not something to pin one’s hopes on for any sort of integrity. There are many that have performed for other dictators. This is just one more to add to that list…
