Snoop Dogg + Trump Event? Internet Reacts! Is This a Sellout or Strategy? 🧐
![]() |
Snoop Dogg’s announcement to perform at the Crypto Ball, an event hosted by Donald Trump affiliate David Sacks, has left fans in shock, confusion, and a wave of online debates. Following the announcement, Snoop’s representative clarified that the performance is purely business and unrelated to political endorsements, while David Sacks described the event as a celebration of cultural icons transcending partisan boundaries. Why? Because Snoop’s history with Trump is anything but friendly. Let’s unpack this headline-grabbing move and explore the layers behind it.
1. The Backstory: A Relationship Full of Twists
Once upon a time, Snoop Dogg and Donald Trump shared cordial moments. In 2011, Snoop joined Trump’s Comedy Central roast and even praised him during Trump’s reality TV reign. However, this relationship turned icy during the 2016 presidential race. Snoop publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton and slammed Black artists performing at Trump’s inauguration, calling them “Uncle Toms.”
In 2017, the rapper doubled down with his music video Lavender, parodying Trump as a clown. This visual critique even prompted Trump to tweet angrily, comparing the scenario to a hypothetical where Snoop attacked President Obama.
2. A Surprising Turn: Why Now?
Snoop Dogg’s recent comments hint at a reconciliatory tone. Last year, he told The Sunday Times: “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He’s done great things for me.” One significant “great thing” was Trump’s 2021 pardon of Michael “Harry-O” Harris, the co-founder of Death Row Records—the label that gave Snoop his start.
So, is this performance a gesture of gratitude? Or a pragmatic career move?
3. Fans React: Shock, Frustration, and Debate
“Snoop sold out!”
Critics argue that Snoop’s decision betrays his outspoken stance against Trump’s policies. On X (formerly Twitter), users resurfaced old clips of his scathing comments about Trump, including one tweet that read, "This is the same Snoop who called Trump a clown? Now he’s dancing to his tune?" Another viral post shared an excerpt from Lavender, with a caption: "From shooting Trump to sharing his stage? What a plot twist." Social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), exploded with hashtags like #SnoopSellsOut and #CryptoBallControversy.
“It’s just business.”
Others defend the rapper, pointing out that entertainment transcends politics. For many, this is simply a strategic move to stay relevant and capitalize on Trump’s polarizing persona.
4. Why It’s Not That Surprising
Snoop’s career has been a masterclass in reinvention. However, this latest move has sparked debates about whether his adaptability comes at the cost of his authenticity. Media outlets have speculated on how this decision might tarnish his reputation as a cultural icon. Some fans have expressed disillusionment, questioning if financial gains now outweigh his previous political stances, while others view it as a savvy, albeit controversial, career choice. From gangster rap to cooking shows with Martha Stewart, he’s proven that he’ll collaborate with anyone if the opportunity aligns with his brand. This performance might be another example of his chameleon-like adaptability.
5. What This Means for Black Culture
The controversy surrounding this event is deeper than just one performance. For many in the Black community, Snoop’s participation at a Trump-linked event feels like a betrayal. Historically, Trump’s policies and rhetoric have often been at odds with issues affecting Black Americans.
But some argue that Snoop’s move reflects the complexity of cultural and political alliances in 2025. As one fan on X put it: “We can be mad at Snoop, but let’s not forget how politics plays chess, not checkers.”
6. The Bigger Picture: Is This the New Normal?
Snoop Dogg’s Crypto Ball performance might signal a shift in how celebrities navigate political divides. With Trump gearing up for another presidential term, his affiliation with pop culture icons could mark a strategic attempt to soften his image and appeal to younger, diverse audiences. In response to Snoop Dogg’s involvement, Trump’s team has remained relatively quiet, though insiders suggest the event is part of a broader effort to showcase his reach within entertainment circles. Trump himself, known for embracing celebrity endorsements, has yet to comment directly, leaving room for speculation about how this aligns with his campaign strategy.
What Do You Think?
Is Snoop Dogg a sellout, or is this just another chapter in his ever-evolving career? Share your thoughts and join the conversation.
