Snoop Dogg responded to the “hatred” he faced after speaking at the Crypto Ball last week, an event celebrating the inauguration of US President Donald Trump.
Crypto Ball Performance Controversy
The hip-hop icon appeared alongside Soulja Boy and Rick Ross at the first Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C. The event was labeled a “festive situation” honoring the “first crypto president” of America. Following his performance, Snoop encountered significant backlash on social media. He initially addressed the reactions with a post that featured a video of him and Ross enjoying the event, captioned: “I received a real shy in the crypto-smoke, explosion.”
On January 26, the rap legend shared two videos of himself smoking while driving and listening to music. In the comments under his first post, many fans expressed disappointment for his decision to perform at an event that celebrated Trump, with one commenter stating: “He is only black on the surface. His soul is white! #cancelled.” Another added: “No number of distracting us will make us forget, Snoop …”
The negative feedback led Snoop to post another video in which he was smoking while listening to gospel music, stating, “This is a Sunday man, I received the Gospel in my heart. For all this hatred, I will respond with love. You cannot hate me enough; I love too much.”
