Summary

Snoop Dogg faced backlash from fans after performing at the “Crypto Ball,” a black-tie event celebrating Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration.

Snoop, who once criticized Trump in his music and public statements, praised him in 2024 and performed his hit “Nuthin’ but a G Thang” at the $2,500-$5,000 per ticket event hosted by tech moguls.

Fans labeled the performance “embarrassing” and “disrespectful,” citing his past anti-Trump sentiments, including a music video and song that mocked Trump during his first term.

    He’s a collaborator. As is anyone who legitimizes, supports, or serves Trump and the fascist Republican party.

      Based on personal believes I wouldn’t like perform for Trump if I was in Snoops position. But there’s no denying that Trump is legitimately the president starting this evening and by your logic anyone that works for trump directly or indirectly as part of the government legitimizes or serves Trump as president in one way or another

        No, that’s not how my logic works. Bureaucrats, technocrats, and representatives are serving the Constitution and the American people. They are not serving Trump. Snoop doesn’t have to perform at the inauguration. He chose to work for Trump.

        Trump is a traitor, rapist, authoritarian, un-American, anti-democratic, an oligarch, a wannabe gangster, conman, antichrist, and an all around piece of shit.

        Anyone who tolerates him is also a piece of shit and an enemy of all free people.

          The people in the government will now have to follow Trumps orders since he has the power to fire them and he wants to use it widely to replace them with yes-men. Yes the people working in the government are serving the people not the president. But you know he will get rid of people who won’t show him loyalty and for 4 years he’s kinda their boss. Collaborator makes it sound like the republican party is occupying the US illegally which it is not since they won (sadly).

          The citizens of the US (the free people you’re talking about) voted him into office by their own volition
