Snoop Dogg to Perform at Crypto Ball Trump Pre-Inauguration Event

In a surprise move, legendary rapper Snoop Dogg has been announced as a performer at the Crypto Ball, a pre-inauguration event hosted by Donald Trump’s affiliate, David Sacks. The event is being held in honor of Trump’s inauguration, which is set to take place on January 20.

Snoop’s decision to perform at the Crypto Ball might raise some eyebrows, given his complicated history with Trump. The two have had a rocky relationship over the years, with Snoop even condemning Black artists who performed at Trump’s inauguration in 2016.

However, it seems that Snoop has softened his stance on Trump, especially after the former president granted clemency to Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris. Snoop publicly thanked Trump for the move, which might have paved the way for his performance at the Crypto Ball.

Snoop Dogg’s Change of Heart

Snoop’s decision to perform at the Crypto Ball marks a significant shift in his stance on Trump. In 2016, Snoop was vocal in his criticism of Trump, even going so far as to condemn Black artists who performed at his inauguration.

“I don’t know what kind of money they paid them, but I know it wasn’t enough,” Snoop said in an interview at the time. “You can’t put a price on your dignity.”

However, after Trump granted clemency to Michael “Harry-O” Harris, Snoop seemed to soften his stance on the former president. In a post on Instagram, Snoop thanked Trump for the move, saying “thanks for gettin’ my homie outta jail.”

Nelly to Perform Alongside Snoop

Snoop won’t be the only hip-hop artist performing at the Crypto Ball. On Friday, it was announced that Nelly would also be taking the stage alongside Snoop.

The Crypto Ball is being hosted by David Sacks, a longtime affiliate of Trump’s. The event is being billed as a “pre-inauguration party” and will feature a number of high-profile performers and guests.

Reaction from Fans and Critics

Snoop’s decision to perform at the Crypto Ball has been met with a mixed reaction from fans and critics. Some have praised Snoop for putting aside his differences with Trump and performing at the event, while others have criticized him for what they see as a betrayal of his values.

“Snoop is a legend, but this is a mistake,” wrote one critic on Twitter. “He’s legitimizing Trump’s presidency and undermining his own legacy.”

However, others have defended Snoop’s decision, saying that he’s simply trying to make a living and perform for his fans.

“Snoop is a businessman, and this is just another gig for him,” wrote one fan on Instagram. “He’s not endorsing Trump’s policies or presidency, he’s just performing at an event.”

Snoop Dogg’s decision to perform at the Crypto Ball is a surprising move, given his complicated history with Trump. However, it seems that Snoop has softened his stance on the former president, and is willing to put aside their differences for the sake of his fans and his career. Whether or not this decision will ultimately prove to be a good one remains to be seen.
