Snoop Dogg faces huge backlash for performing at Trump inauguration party

Snoop Dogg has found himself facing huge backlash after performing at a party for Donald Trump’s imminent inauguration. The rapper and actor, 53, was filmed performing at the first ever ‘Crypto Ball’ hosted by former PayPal COO David Sacks. Silicon valley investor and millionaire Sacks is set to step into the White House in his formal capacity as AI and Crypto Czar (a real job title) for cryptocurrency-shilling President-to-be Trump.
After footage of his performance was uploaded to The Shade Room on Instagram, Snoop (real name Calvin Broadus Jr.) came under fire, with some describing the move as ‘culturally embarrassing’ and ‘disrespectful.’. This comes after Snoop set aside his Trump-trolling days to back the controversial President-elect, declaring last year that he had ‘nothing but love and respect’ for the Donald.

Needless to say, a large portion of the star’s fans have not taken it well. ‘wait a goddamn minute, @SnoopDogg is playing Trump’s inauguration???? aw hell naw,’ wrote Doubt_everything on the social media site X. ‘I never thought I’d have Snoop Dogg being a Trump supporter on my bingo card…. But here we are,’ said matthewtravis08.

‘What is Snoop Dogg’s new name? I’ll go first: Snoop Fraud,’ said quadcarl_carl. ‘What the F**K@snoopdogg? Traitorous bulls**t,’ said SarahLarchmont. ‘I have deleted all Snoop dogg songs from my playlists.. i have blocked him from my accounts. I will not listen to his music after i found out that he will be there to perform for the traitors on Monday…’ said glenntunes.
