Snoop Dogg recently responded to haters following his controversial performance at the Crypto Ball event in Washington D.C., which celebrated Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election. The rapper, known for his vocal criticism of Trump, received fierce backlash after his appearance. During his Instagram video, Snoop stated, “For all the hate, I’m going to answer with love,” expressing his commitment to peace and unity while addressing the turmoil surrounding the event.
The Crypto Ball, held at the Andrew W. Mellon auditorium, was explicitly celebrating Trump’s win and drew attention from both supporters and notable figures in cryptocurrency. Snoop, who has previously called Trump a “f—ing weirdo” and criticized him publicly, faced further backlash for his comments during the performance.
Notably, Snoop also referenced his past criticism of Trump in his music, including his 2017 song “Lavender” and the 2018 track “M.A.C.A.” He expressed a shift in tone post-inauguration, stating he respects Trump and has nothing but love for him.
Other artists like Nelly and Carrie Underwood also performed at the inauguration event, with Underwood expressing her support for Trump during her performance. Despite Snoop’s recent change of heart, his comments continue to spark debate about his political views and public statements.
