The actor and comedian criticized the rapper for his response to the backlash. DL Hughley has spoken out about Snoop Dogg‘s response to the backlash he received after performing at the Crypto Ball, which celebrated the election of US President Donald Trump. The Original Kings of Comedy stand-up and actor, 61, suggested the rap icon needed to “have a conversation with the man in the mirror.”. On January 20, the rapper born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, 53, was filmed performing his classic hit “Nuthin’ But a G Thang” at a party hosted by David Sacks, former PayPal COO and newly appointed White House AI and crypto czar.
Many of Snoop’s fans were appalled at his decision to appear, accusing him of selling out and claiming they would no longer listen to his music. In the wake of the controversy, Snoop shared a video on Instagram in which he said: “Y’all can’t hate enough, I love too much. Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I’m cool, I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100 percent Black.”. He continued: "It isn’t anger or hate, it is honestly people being disappointed. But why is the most common refrain whenever somebody gets to a situation like that, you tell us we can’t stick together?.
"It isn't us that you have a problem with, it is you. The 2025 version of you is at odds with the 2017 version of you. So it ain't the us that gotta get it together, it's the you. You need to have a conversation with the man in the mirror. What is so different about the 2017 Snoop, and the 2025 Snoop? It ain't us. We ain't in it.”. Hughley argued that Trump and his administration are targeting the Black community through their legislation.
