*Snoop Dogg faced backlash after performing at the Crypto Ball, an event linked to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
According to The New York Post, the rapper, who has over 88 million followers on Instagram, lost over 500,000 followers on the platform and nearly 20,000 on X, as fans accused him of hypocrisy due to his past criticisms of Trump and those supporting him. Snoop previously denounced Black voters backing Trump. In response to the fallout, he reaffirmed his commitment to his community.
“It’s Sunday man, I got gospel in my heart right now. For all that hate, I’m going to answer with love. Y’all can’t hate enough on me. 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,” Snoop said in an Instagram Live session.
We reported earlier that Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith came forward to defend Snoop, along with fellow rappers Rick Ross, Soulja Boy, and Nelly, who also performed at the inauguration area events. Smith posed a critical question regarding the scrutiny artists face when they seize performance opportunities: “Now that the brothers come along and make something of themselves… you wanna get in their a**?”
Media personality Charlamagne Tha God echoed similar sentiments on “The Breakfast Club,” questioning why artists like Snoop Dogg are held to a higher standard than politicians.

“The hypocrisy that people display regarding who they like and don’t like is mind-blowing to me,” The Breakfast Club co-host remarked. “There is no way you are more mad at rappers for performing at these inauguration events than you are at the elected officials who told us Trump was a fascist, a threat to democracy…”
