Fans aren’t happy with Snoop Dogg.
Over the weekend, the first-ever Crypto Ball was held in D.C. in honor of President-elect Donald Trump returning to office. The event featured performances by various hip-hop artists, including Soulja Boy, Rick Ross, and Snoop Dogg. This has since resulted in tremendous backlash, as fans express outrage over the performers supporting Trump in any way.
Snoop Dogg Appears To Stand By Crypto Ball Performance
“This is your response? Why not say something to people who are genuinely concerned about your choice? Grow up,” one commenter writes. “The fact that you have zero integrity and are making fun of people who are rightfully upset with you says a lot about your character,” another claims. Snoop Dogg isn’t the first performer to defend themself lately, however. Recently, Soulja Boy also took to Instagram Live to clarify why he decided to perform at the Crypto Ball. According to him, it was all about the money.
“They paid me a bag. Obama ain’t never put no money in my f**king pockets, n***a. Kamala ain’t never put no money in my f**king pockets, n***a. Trump put money in my pockets, n***a,” he explained. “Y’all suck my d*ck, n***a. Y’all want me to not answer the phone for the f***king president? This n***a the president of the motherf**king United States. Trump wasn’t even there. It wasn’t even a Trump event. It was the Crypto Ball for crypto […] And I’ll go again.”
