Snoop Dogg Sparks Outrage Again Over MLK Tribute After Trump Performance

West Coast rap icon, Snoop Dogg, appears not to be doing himself any favors as of late, and has consequently, in the last couple of days, been receiving a hefty amount of backlash for his seemingly newfound support of current President Donald Trump.

In the past, Snoop has not had anywhere near the same level of fondness for political leaders, and the internet has made that very clear by digging up a video from 2017 which he posted to Instagram during Trump’s first go around at the White House.

“So ain’t nobody gonna perform for Donald Trump huh,” he says sarcastically. “Which one of you j****oo a** n*****s gon’ be the first one to do it? I’m waiting, I’m gon’ roast the f*** out of you. Uncle Tom a** n****s for doing it. Which one of you n****s is gon’ do it first? ‘I’s be’s the one’s to perform for ’em sir!” Folks have flocked to that post pointing out ruthlessly how it’s aging “like fine milk.”

In addition, fans of Snoop Dogg but not Trump also feel betrayed because he was one of a few to perform at the first Crypto Ball before the inauguration on January 20, 2025.

The Death Row Records owner appeared to address that by sharing a seemingly AI-generated song from The Middle Fingers called “Unfollowed U, ” which ticked off many more people.

Elon Musk, a staunch Trump supporter, got in on the action too. “The vibe shift is real,” he wrote in a taunting fashion underneath the same old clip.

In other news, Soulja Boy has taken to social media to defend his decision to perform at the Crypto Ball event in Washington DC over the weekend.

According to the musician, the programme, which also featured artists such as Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross, was designed to honour President Donald Trump and was too good an opportunity to pass on, as he urgently needed the money.
