Snoop Dogg, 53, has landed in hot water for appearing at the Inaugural Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C. The event, held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium, was organized by cryptocurrency executives to celebrate then President-elect Donald Trump. Although Trump did not attend, the gala was emceed by David Sacks, Trump’s incoming “crypto czar” and a former PayPal COO, adding political undertones to the festivities.
Video footage of Snoop performing alongside Rick Ross and Soulja Boy quickly stirred backlash online. Fans expressed disbelief and disappointment, pointing out the rapper’s previous public stance against the Trump presidency. Comments on social media ranged from accusations of hypocrisy to fears that the artist was “selling out” for a paycheck. While Snoop Dogg has not issued an official response, many are speculating about the motives behind his decision, questioning whether this performance signals a shift in the rapper’s political views—or simply a business move that has now drawn harsh public scrutiny.
