Snoop Dogg Breaks Silence On Trump Inaugural Ball Backlash

Snoop DoggSnoop Dogg has hit back at critics who accused him of selling out by performing at the Crypto Ball during Donald Trump’s second inauguration celebrations in January.The rapper and long-time Trump critic – whose tone on the president has softened in recent years – recently addressed the backlash on The Breakfast Club radio show while promoting his new album, Iz It A Crime?.Asked if the controversy over his short DJ set had bothered him, Snoop replied: “No. I call it 30 for 30. I DJ’d at the Crypto Ball for what, 30 minutes? Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help out the inner city and the community and teach financial literacy and crypto in a space that it don’t exist.”“That’s 30 minutes” he continued. “[For] 30 years, Snoop Dogg [has] been doing great things for the community, building, showing up, standing up for the people, making it happen, being all I can be. But which one is it? 30 for 30. 30 minutes or 30 years?”FILE - President Donald Trump holds a document with notes about Kilmar Abrego Garcia as he speaks with reporters in the Oval Office of the White House, April 18, 2025, in Washington.(AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File) Snoop – who didn’t endorse any candidate for the 2024 election – said the gig had come about through other friendships but that “even if I would have done it” for Trump “and hung out with him and took a picture with him, can’t none of you motherfuckers tell me what I can and can’t do”.“I’m not a politician,” he pointed out. “I don’t represent the Republican Party. I don’t represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherfucking Gangster Party. Period. Point blank.”Snoop Dogg and Donald Trump pictured at the latter's comedy roast in 2011Snoop also revealed why he kept relatively silent in public as the anger grew over the gig.“G shit, we don’t explain shit,” the Grammy nominee. “That’s why I didn’t explain, that’s why I didn’t go into detail when motherfuckers was trying to cancel me and say he a sellout,” he said, later adding: “The things that I do in real life should matter to you more ... not what I do when I’m DJing or making music or doing this and that.”Listen to Snoop Dogg’s comments for yourself from the 21-minute mark in the video below:READ MORE:Robert De Niro Makes It Clear Why He Refuses To Stay Quiet About 'Bully' Donald TrumpBruce Springsteen Hits Out At 'Incompetent And Treasonous' Trump AdministrationTV Legend William Shatner Fires Back At Trump's 'Insulting' Offer
