Snoop Dogg's Response to Inauguration Performance Backlash

Snoop Dogg, the renowned rapper, recently faced criticism for performing at President Trump's inaugural event. While relaxing in his car, listening to gospel music, and enjoying a joint, he took to Instagram to address the backlash. “For the hate, I'll respond with love, ” he said. “Focus on your own life, not mine. ” He emphasized his pride in being a black man and the importance of supporting each other instead of tearing each other down. Some fans expressed support, while others accused him of being a "sellout. " Snoop, 53, lost a significant number of followers on Instagram and the X platform after the performance. His views on Trump have evolved over time. Initially critical of the president and his supporters, Snoop's opinion shifted after Trump pardoned Michael “Harry O” Harris, co-founder of Death Row Records. Other celebrities, such as Carrie Underwood and Kid Rock, also performed at Trump’s inauguration events.
