Snoop Dogg Trolled for Trump Bait and Switch at MAGA Ball

Rapper Snoop Dogg is under fire from some of his loyal fans after he performed at an event celebrating President-elect Donald Trump’s impending inauguration.

Politico reported that the Washington, D.C. event called the “Crypto Ball” was sponsored and attended by many heavyweights in the crypto space.

An invitation that circulated on X revealed that tickets to the black tie affair went for a hefty $2,500 each.

A video of Snoop’s performance posted to Instagram was flooded with social media commentators expressing their disappointment in the rapper cozying up to Trump’s base.

“This is culturally embarrassing and disrespectful asf,” wrote one social media commentator.

Another added, “Snoop been sold out and if you don’t see it now you’re in denial!”

Sentiments were similar on X, where Snoop’s name trended with over 85,000 posts on Saturday.

“2pac always was right about snoop dogg, he always playing both sides for a check and some clout smh,” one X user opined referring to the late rapper Tupac Shakur.

However, Barron Trump’s bestie Bo Loudon seemed to welcome him with open arms, writing: “Welcome to MAGA, Snoop!”

In reality, Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, has been both supportive and critical of Trump in the past.

Prior to Trump’s first election win, Snoop didn’t mince words and said he’d “never seen a motherf---er like him” in a 2016 interview with Rolling Stone.

Then, in March 2017, Snoop further solidified his feelings toward the president-elect when he pretended to shoot a Trump lookalike in a music video.

More recently, his tune has seemingly changed.

“He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me,” the rapper said in a January 2024 interview with The Times of London. “So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” he added.

Snoop has yet to respond to any of the backlash he’s received since Friday’s event.
