After Snoop Dogg Responded To All The Backlash To His Trump Performance, D.L. Hughley Said He Needs To "Look In The Mirror"

D.L. Hughley was not impressed by Snoop Dogg's recent response to the backlash over his performance at a Trump inauguration event.

In case you missed it, Snoop performed at Crypto Ball, held in honor of the then-incoming president and hosted by David Sacks, Trump's so-called crypto czar. Considering the rapper's former criticism of Trump — and of entertainers who performed for Trump's first inauguration — fans were understandably upset and disappointed. Plenty voiced their discontent on social media, where over half a million people unfollowed Snoop.

Earlier this week, he addressed it all with a video posted on Instagram, saying, "For all the hate, I’m going to answer with love. 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. All out 'til you ball out, or 'til you fall out." He also noted that people should "learn to pick each other up, instead of pulling each other down," going as far as saying that "Black people are great at tearing each other down." As you might imagine, fans didn't appreciate this response.

And they weren't the only ones. On a recent episode of The D.L. Hughley Show podcast, the comedian shared his opinion on the whole affair, noting that Snoop's comment about the Black community not sticking together falls flat and shirks responsibility.

"It is not us who are tearing down affirmative action," he said in a clip shared on Instagram. "It is not us who is tearing down DEI. It is not us who are tearing families apart. It is not us who have decided that affirmative action and rollbacks that precedent for 50, 60 years are gone. It is not us that is doing it. It is the man you decided to perform for."

He pointed out that the majority of Black Americans united in their decision to vote against Trump. "We decided that this was a man who was bad for our community. We stuck together. We wouldn’t try to tear each other apart. We tried to protect each other. And the very man who we knew would do the very things he’s doing, you decided to entertain. It isn’t anger or hate, it is honestly people being disappointed."

D.L. also made an excellent point about Snoop's response to all of this: "If you're so angry about the backlash you're getting, you need to talk to the 2017 version of you. In 2017, [you] said that you would ride out anybody that performed for [Trump] — anybody. And you used very colorful language."

"So 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 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. This is an inner turmoil."

And commenters couldn't agree more. This person said, "We stuck together," but Snoop "didn't stick with us."

This person appreciated being able to "rock you and hold you accountable at the same time":

This person, part of the 92% of Black women who voted against Trump, said, "I approve this message":

Many said this is what Snoop "needs to watch":

And others said, "The culture and community are disappointed in Snoop":
