Snoop Dogg’s fans are ready to send him to the pound after the rapper performed at a Trump pre-inauguration ball despite once shooting the president-elect in a music video.
The “Gin and Juice” rapper found himself in the dog house after he lent his talents to the Crypto Ball in DC Friday, a black tie gala hosted by crypto currency organizations BTC Inc. and Stand With Crypto which was billed as a celebration of America’s first “crypto president” Donald Trump. The event was emceed by incoming administration crypto czar David Sacks.
The rapper can be seen on various social media videos working a turntable as he raps his classic hits such as “Drop it Like it’s Hot” and “Nothing but a ‘G’ Thang.”

The “Doggfather’s” performance comes as a bit of a shock to many hip-hop observers, the rapper has had a ruff history with Trump and his supporters.

The “Sensual Eruption” rapper had threatened to “roast the f—k” out of any “Uncle Tom a— n—a” who performed for Trump’s inauguration in a video posted to his Instagram January 10, 2017, ten days before he took the oath of office.
Snoop Dogg has since had a change of heart, saying that he has “Nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” in a Jan. 2024 interview with The London Times.
“He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris,” the rapper said. Michael “Harry-O” Harris is the co-founder of Death Row Records and was serving 25 to life for drug trafficking and attempted murder until Trump pardoned him in Jan. 2021.
