People aren’t terribly pleased with Snoop Dogg at the moment.
The rap star took to the stage at president-elect Donald Trump‘s so-called ‘Crypto Ball’ that took place on Friday (January 17) ahead of his inauguration tomorrow.
In videos of the night, Snoop Dogg is seen stood behind some DJ decks while performing some of his best-loved songs for the audience filled with cryptocurrency executives.
Speaking to Reuters, attendees said that Rick Ross and Soulja Boy also performed on the night.
In a video that’s doing the rounds online of Snoop’s performance, his fans were quick to criticize him.
“This is culturally embarrassing and disrespectful asf,” one fumed on Instagram.
Noting the late rap greats T-Pac and Nipsey Hussel, another wrote: “Nipsey and Pac would never!!!”
“Disappointed in Snoop,” penned a different person, as someone else said: “All money ain’t good money. There is no way Snoop NEED a check. You can turn down somethings.”
Others have suggested that the rapper is a hypocrite, having publicly spoken out against Trump around the time of his first inauguration in 2017.
Snoop says in an newly resurfaced clip: “So ain’t nobody gon’ perform for Donald Trump huh? Which of you jiggaboo a** ni***s gon’ be the first one to do it?”
He went on to say he would ‘roast the f**k’ out of anyone for doing it.
The same year, Snoop released a music video for his track ‘Lavender’ that saw him aiming a gun at a clown dressed like Trump.
But Snoop seems somewhat unbothered about people’s recent criticisms and, in a video shared by fellow performer Rick Ross, the ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ rapper said: “It’s that crypto, see. Got a real Crip up in the Crypto Ball, bang bang.”
UNILAD have approached representatives of Snoop for comment.
Away from the performances given on the night, Trump’s Crypto Ball was part of his campaign to become a so-called ‘crypto president’.
When he returns to office, the 78-year-old is expected issue executive orders aimed at reducing crypto regulatory roadblocks and promoting widespread adoption of digital assets.
Meanwhile, Trump has released his very own meme coin that’s so far made more than 500 people millionaires.
Within just six hours of its release, the coin went from a few cents to $14, and it just kept climbing from there.
It eventually went on to hit highs of nearly $5.5 billion, as per CoinMarketCap.com, thus making the few hundred investors very rich, very quickly.
