Snoop Dogg addresses uproar over Trump Crypto Ball inauguration performance

‘I ain’t going nowhere,’ rapper told his followers. Snoop Dogg appears to have responded to the backlash he received after performing at the Crypto Ball, which celebrated the election of US president Donald Trump. The rapper born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr was filmed performing his classic hit “Nuthin’ But a G Thang” at the 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. Snoop, 53, had previously been a vocal critic of Trump but appeared to switch allegiances last year, offering him public praise and declaring he had “only done great things” for him.
In the wake of the controversy, Snoop shared a video to Instagram in which he was seen smoking and enjoying “Ain’t No Need to Worry” by US gospel group The Winans in his car. “Y’all can’t hate enough, I love too much,” he said. “Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I’m cool, I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100 per cent Black. All out, ‘til you ball out, or ‘til you fall out.”.
He added: “I ain’t going nowhere, I’m right here,” before telling his followers to “get the crypto”. Organisers of the crypto ball reportedly hailed Trump as “the first crypto president” on an invitation that circulated on social media.
