Snoop Dogg Says He's 'Still a Black Man' Amid Criticism of Crypto Ball Performance

Snoop Dogg addressed the criticism he received for performing at the Crypto Ball event honoring President Donald Trump.

Over the weekend, Snoop hopped on Instagram Live from his car to tell his fans not to stress about the decisions he chooses to make with his life. Snoop had received a lot of heat from fans for performing at a Crypto Ball event that celebrated President Trump's inauguration.

Folks had issues with Snoop's performance at the event, especially when he was highly critical of President Trump during his first term, but the West Coast legend assured fans in his IG Live that he wasn't bothered by the criticism and is still a Black man at the end of the day.

"It's Sunday man, I got gospel in my heart. For all that hate, I'm going to answer with love. Y'all can't hate enough on me. I love too much," said Snoop. "Get your life right stop worrying about mine. I'm cool, I'm together. Still a Black man, still 100 percent Black."

Snoop got some support for his attendance and performance at the Crypto Ball from Stephen A. Smith, who claimed that the decision to be at the event was a business move. Rick Ross and Soulja Boy also performed, and fans dragged them as well.

Even though Snoop had some tense words for President Trump during his first presidency, the 53-year-old seemed to have changed his tone over the years. In January 2024, Snoop told London's Sunday Times that he had "nothing but love and respect" for the newly inaugurated commander-in-chief and appreciated how Trump pardoned Death Row Records co-founder and former CEO, Michael 'Harry-O' Harris.

"He ain't done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris," Snoop told the publication.
