Snoop Dogg, aka the OG of chill, has finally addressed the haters coming for him after his surprise gig at Donald Trump’s second inauguration party. Yes, you read that right—Snoop performed for Trump. And the internet? Oh, it spiraled faster than Kanye at an open mic.
Here’s what went down: on January 17, the 53-year-old hip-hop legend took to the stage at the “Crypto Ball” (which sounds more like a nerd rave than a political event) in Washington, D.C. Fans were blindsided, jaws hit the floor, and Twitter combusted into a dumpster fire of disbelief.
A week later, Snoop decided he had had enough. He dropped a video on Instagram because, obviously, where else do you air grievances in 2025? “For all the hate, I’m going to answer with love,” he began, channeling his inner yoga guru. “Get your life right, stop worrying about mine.” Translation: Stay in your lane, Karen.
Snoop continued, oozing cool, “I’m cool. I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100% Black.” In case anyone was confused, he doubled down on his credentials: “All out ’til you ball out or ’til you fall out.” Inspirational and cryptic—classic Snoop.
But wait, there’s more! While chatting on the R&B Money Podcast (yes, that’s a real thing), Snoop dropped some pearls of wisdom on how he handles the trolls. “When you’re at the top, hate comes with the territory,” he said, basically reminding everyone that he’s on a level we mere mortals will never understand. “I answer it with success and love,” he added. Translation: “Your shade fuels my private jet, boo.”
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room—or rather, the giant, gold-plated Trump Tower of confusion. Fans were shooketh. Snoop has spent years roasting Trump like a backyard barbecue. In 2016, he called Trump and Kanye West “racist.” In 2017, he dropped a music video where he literally pointed a gun at a Trump lookalike in a clown mask. And now? He’s performing at Trump’s party like it’s a Coachella after-party.
Fans don’t know what to think, but one thing’s for sure: Snoop Dogg’s chill is unmatched. Love him, hate him, or meme him, Uncle Snoop stays winning. 💯
