Snoop Dogg Claps Back at Critics After Trump Inauguration Performance Backlash
Snoop Dogg isn’t here for the drama. After facing intense backlash for his unexpected performance at an event tied to Donald Trump’s inauguration, the rap icon has broken his silence, addressing what he calls "all the hate" coming his way.
Snoop’s Surprise Move Sparks Controversy
The hip-hop legend, known for his outspoken criticism of Trump in the past, shocked fans when he took the stage at a post-inauguration event. The move sent social media into a frenzy, with many calling it a betrayal, while others praised him for embracing the moment.
Snoop’s Response: “I Do Me”
Unfazed by the uproar, Snoop took to Instagram to address his critics. “Y’all acting like you don’t know me,” he said in a video post. “I do me. Always have, always will. If you don’t like it, that’s on you.”
The rapper emphasized that his performance was about music, not politics. “At the end of the day, I spread love, not hate. I’ve performed for presidents before. Why stop now?”
Hip-Hop Meets Politics: A Complicated Relationship
Snoop’s Trump moment highlights the ongoing debate about hip-hop’s role in politics. Once an outspoken critic of the former president—famously featuring a mock execution of a Trump-like figure in his 2017 music video—his decision to perform now has left many fans scratching their heads.
Some supporters argue that artists should be free to perform wherever they choose without it being seen as an endorsement, while others believe that certain lines shouldn’t be crossed.
What’s Next for the Doggfather?
Despite the backlash, Snoop isn’t losing any sleep. “Haters gonna hate,” he said, adding a signature laugh. As always, he remains unpredictable, unapologetic, and in complete control of his narrative.
Love it or hate it, one thing’s for sure—Snoop Dogg will always keep people talking.
