    Snoop Dogg is grieving the loss of his cherished bulldog, Juelz, whom he’s had by his side for over a decade.

    Snoop Dogg Faces Backlash After Performing at Trump Inaugural Event

    Unc. Snoop loses thousands of followers amid controversy over Crypto Ball performance

    Snoop Dogg is feeling the heat after his recent performance at an event celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration, with a significant loss in social media followers. According to the New York Post, the rap icon has lost over 570,000 followers on Instagram since taking the stage at the Crypto Ball on January 17, where fellow rappers Rick Ross and Soulja Boy also performed. Snoop has also seen a drop of nearly 20,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter).

    The backlash comes after Snoop posed for photos with far-right influencers and MAGA supporters at the event, prompting criticism from many of his fans. A former Barack Obama staffer even labeled him a “sellout” for performing at the pro-Trump celebration, referencing his previous condemnation of Black artists who performed at Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.

    Despite the controversy, Snoop remains unshaken. In a recent Instagram video, he addressed the backlash, saying, “Y’all can’t hate enough for me, I love too much. Get your life right, stop worrying about mine.” He continued, emphasizing the importance of unity within the Black community, saying, “We gotta learn to pick each other up instead of pulling each other down.”

    Snoop’s comments reflect a shift in his stance toward Trump. The rapper previously criticized the former president but later expressed gratitude for Trump’s decision to pardon Death Row co-founder Michael “Harry O” Harris in 2021. Despite the fallout, Snoop remains one of the most followed celebrities on social media, with over 88 million followers on Instagram.

    Snoop Dogg is standing firm in the face of backlash after performing at an event celebrating Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

    In a candid video, Snoop told his critics, “Y’all can’t hate enough me for me, I love too much. Get your life right, stop worrying about mine.” He continued to make it clear that his identity and loyalty to his community remained unchanged, emphasizing, “Still a Black man. Still a hundred percent Black.”

    He also addressed the criticism from some of his Black followers, urging unity and self-empowerment: “We gotta learn to pick each other up instead of pulling each other down.” Snoop also acknowledged his history with Trump, revealing that he softened his stance after Trump pardoned Death Row co-founder Michael “Harry O” Harris in 2021.

    The rap legend gives a glowing review of the new movie, applauding the cast and production team

    Snoop Dogg is showing major love to SZA and Keke Palmer’s new film One of Them Days, calling it an “exceptional movie.” On January 22, the iconic rapper shared his thoughts on Instagram, praising the film and its talented cast, which also includes producer Issa Rae.

    “Just got back from seeing Just One of Them Days, and it was an exceptional movie,” Snoop wrote. “Shout out to Keke and SZA, Issa Rae, and the whole cast. Real good movie. We need some good shit right now. Black girls rule the world. Great job.”

    SZA and Palmer recently appeared together on the popular YouTube series Hot Ones, where Palmer playfully put SZA on the spot about her past fling with Drake. The actress jokingly asked if the rapper was “a good kisser,” leading to an amusing exchange. SZA laughed it off, recalling their relationship in a lighthearted way, confirming that they were both “children” back in 2009.

    Snoop’s enthusiastic support of the film is another endorsement of the duo’s growing influence in Hollywood.







  • Elon Musk Calls Out Snoop Dogg Over Crypto Ball Performance

    Elon Musk Calls Out Snoop Dogg Over Crypto Ball Performance

    The Tesla CEO Takes a Jab at Rapper for Appearing at Trump’s Event

    Elon Musk stirred the pot on Sunday when he took to X (formerly Twitter) to call out Snoop Dogg for performing at the Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C. The event, which celebrated President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, saw Snoop share the stage with fellow artists Soulja Boy and Rick Ross.

    Musk responded to a clip showing Snoop Dogg’s past criticisms of Trump, writing, “The vibe shift is real” alongside a laughing emoji. The comment highlights the apparent contrast between Snoop’s outspoken condemnation of Trump and his decision to perform at an event honoring him.

    Snoop Dogg has long been critical of Trump, especially ahead of the 2020 election when he expressed strong disapproval of the then-president. In a previous statement, Snoop said, “If y’all do vote for him, y’all some stupid motherf*ckers.” Musk’s post seemed to point out the shift in Snoop’s stance, drawing attention to the rapper’s recent performance.

    Snoop isn’t the only artist facing backlash for performing at the event. Soulja Boy also defended his decision, admitting that his performance was partly motivated by the financial incentive, saying, “I needed that bag.” Meanwhile, Nelly, who performed at the inauguration ceremony, has similarly faced criticism.

    Charlamagne Tha God Calls Out ‘Hypocrisy’ Over Trump Event Performances Critism

    Radio host defends “Hot in Herre” rapper and “Doggfather” against backlash

    Charlamagne Tha God is calling out fans who criticized Nelly, Snoop Dogg, and other artists for performing at Donald Trump’s recent inauguration events, arguing that their outrage is misplaced. Speaking on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne pointed out that the same Democratic politicians who once warned of Trump’s alleged threats to democracy have now embraced him.

    “The hypocrisy that people display in terms of who they like and don’t like is mind-blowing to me,” Charlamagne said. “There is no way you are more mad at rappers for performing at these inauguration events than you are at the elected officials who told us Trump was a fascist, a threat to democracy, a danger to our country and the constitution.”

    He highlighted moments like President Joe Biden welcoming Trump to the White House and former President Barack Obama sharing laughs with him at Jimmy Carter’s funeral. “We know why the rappers did what they did. They got paid. What’s the politicians’ excuse for normalizing Trump?” he questioned.

    Charlamagne concluded by urging fans to hold politicians accountable with the same energy they direct at entertainers. “Nelly and Snoop don’t hold more weight than Biden and Obama.”

  • Snoop Dogg Faces Backlash Over Trump Support

    Snoop Dogg Faces Backlash Over Trump Support

    Uncle Snoop Is Catching Heat, But He’s Keeping It Cool

    Snoop Dogg is feeling the heat after appearing to cozy up to former political foe, Donald Trump. Fans have been quick to call out the apparent shift in stance, especially after a resurfaced 2017 Instagram video where Snoop harshly criticized any artist willing to perform for the then-president.

    Now, the tables have turned. Snoop was one of the few artists to perform at the first Crypto Ball ahead of Trump’s inauguration, leaving many of his supporters disappointed. Some took to social media to accuse him of hypocrisy, digging up his old remarks, which many say have aged “like fine milk.” Even Elon Musk joined in, commenting, “The vibe shift is real.”

    Despite the criticism, Snoop remains unfazed. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, he shared a tribute to the civil rights leader, but it did little to quell the outrage. “But you’re supporting Trump… it’s not adding up,” one person commented.

    For now, Snoop appears unbothered by the backlash. Whether he addresses it directly or continues to let the controversy ride remains to be seen.

    The ESPN Host Rips Critics, Highlights Impact of Hip Hop’s Political Engagement

    Stephen A. Smith has defended Snoop Dogg, Nelly, and Soulja Boy after the Hip-Hop community reacted negatively to their performances at pro-Donald Trump events. The rappers and Rick Ross were booked for various inauguration celebrations in Washington, D.C., sparking controversy among fans and fellow artists.

    On his podcast, Smith fiercely responded to their critics, questioning why the rappers shouldn’t have the right to make money in their way. “Soulja Boy ain’t got no right to make some money?” Smith said, pointing out the rapper’s significant earnings from the event. He also highlighted Snoop Dogg’s impact, emphasizing his charitable contributions, including funding a youth football league and helping send players to college and the NFL.

    Smith also defended Nelly’s stance, stating that the rapper is simply performing for those who respect the office and pay the right fee without engaging in political matters. He also criticized the way some people turned against Ice Cube for his political affiliations, reminding listeners of the significant role Hip-Hop has played in changing the lives of countless Black people.

    The defense comes as Snoop Dogg faces ongoing scrutiny for his previous opposition to Trump, though his views have softened in recent years, especially after Trump pardoned a Death Row Records co-founder in 2021.
