Rap legend Snoop Dogg spoke out about losing over 500,000 followers on Instagram after performing at Donald Trump‘s Crypto Ball.
Snoop, 53, addressed “all the hate” in an Instagram video, telling his followers, “I’ma answer with love.”
“Y’all can’t hate enough on me. I love too much. Get your life right. Stop worrying about mine,” the father-of-4 said in the video. “I’m cool. I’m together. Still a Black man. Still a hundred percent Black. All out ’til you ball out or ’til you fall out. I ain’t going nowhere.”
Snoop Dogg is calm and unbothered by critics of his performance at a Trump inauguration event:

After urging his fans to buy cryptocurrency on Crypto.com, Snoop said “We Gotta learn to pick each other up instead of putting each other down. That’s what we great at as Black people, we great at tearing each other down.”
Snoop was canceled by his mostly Democrat followers after he accepted Bitcoins to perform at Trump’s Crypto Ball inauguration event.
The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper shared the stage with fellow rappers Rick Ross and Soulja Boy.

Rapper Nelly also performed at an inaugural event on January 20 – though he did not attend Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.
Snoop was very anti-Trump in 2016 when the former reality TV star shocked the world by defeating Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.
In a 2020 interview on Real 92.3, Snoop said he would vote in that year’s elections for the first time “because I can’t stand to see this punk in office one more year.”
The rap icon seemed to threaten Trump’s life when he pointed a prop gun at a Trump impersonator in a music video.
But Snoop has matured a lot since those days. In a January 2024 interview with The Sunday Times, Snoop said, “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me.”
Snoop was grateful after Trump pardoned Death Row Records co-founder Michael Harris, who served 30 years in prison following a drug charge conviction.
“I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” Snoop added.
