Snoop Dogg Doesn't Care People Are Mad He Bent the Knee to the President

Like most folks, I was doom-scrolling before this last election but found something that made me feel amped. It was Snoop Dogg, one of the coolest dudes I’ve ever seen, blasting Donald Trump for being a racist. He was saying it with his whole chest, “I don’t give a f**k. I tell ‘em straight up, motherf***er. If you like that n*****, you motherf****n’ racist. F**k you and f**k him. Now what? He drew the lines. Before him, there were no lines. Everybody was everybody, we respected everything, we didn’t trip.” Hell yes, Snoop! “Let them know! Let them all know,” I thought. However, my excitement was short-lived.

It turned out that the clip was from an interview the rapper did in 2018. Since then, Trump pardoned Death Row Records co-founder Michael Harris, and Snoop turned on a f***ing dime. A year ago he told the Sunday Times that he has “nothing but love for Donald Trump” because Trump has “only done great things for [him].” The rapper-turned-Martha Stewart partner went as far as to perform at a concert honoring Trump’s inauguration. Not the inauguration itself, mind you. There’s no way Trump would let people of color perform at an event that actually matters to him.

Regardless, fans were not happy that Snoop sold out to the current President. As they shouldn’t be. Snoop’s rush to support Trump after the s***heel did something for him is par for the course. It’s rich, connected people getting what is theirs while regular people suffer under the madman’s policies and whims. What’s worse is that Trump can point to someone like Snoop Dogg as proof that Black people love him. Snoop knows this but is still telling everyone to get off his back.

Snoop took to his Instagram to tell the haters to back off. “It’s Sunday I got gospel in my heart,” he noted. “For all the hate I’m going to answer with love, I love too much.” Booooo, Snoop. Booooo. Granted, I’m presuming what Snoop is referencing here, but I’m not the only one. Excusing your support of Trump because you “love too much” is a dumb and thin excuse. But he wasn’t done there! “Get your life right, stop worrying about mine,” he continued. “I’m cool. I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100 percent Black. All out ‘til you ball out or ‘til you fall out.”

Snoop insisting up and down that he’s still Black is key to all of this. People saw him hop into bed with a man he once claimed was so racist that anyone associated with him was racist. It’s almost as if you should stand by your principles instead of being bought off so easily., Snoop Dogg can be happy for his friend, but that doesn’t mean he has to throw his support behind a man who has (predictably) spent his first week in office stripping DEI programs.

Maybe this doesn’t really bother Snoop, but I don’t think he would have posted about it otherwise. It’s called reaping what you sow, Snoop. If you kiss the ring of a racist, people are going to have questions no matter what color your skin is.
