Snoop Dogg has made headlines by becoming one of the celebrities performing at inauguration events for Donald Trump.

Yesterday, he performed at the Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C., a celebratory event hosted by David Sacks, often referred to as Trump’s crypto czar pick.
Snoop’s participation is notable, given his previous vocal criticism of Trump. In 2016, he openly questioned Trump’s qualification for the presidency, stating, “Fuck Donald Trump” on Instagram.
Despite his earlier denouncements, Snoop’s upcoming performance surprised many, reflecting a significant shift in his attitude. Notably, he has softened his stance since Trump pardoned his friend Michael Harris.
Twitter erupts with mixed reactions, lambasting celebrities who align with the twice-impeached politician.
As of now, none of the involved artists have directly addressed the backlash, but public opinion continues to evolve.
