Popular rapper Snoop Dogg recently expressed his new respect and admiration for former US President Donald Trump, marking a major shift from his previous stance.
During an exclusive interview with The Times on Sunday, January 28, Trump, who has had a history of feuding with Trump, especially during Trump's first term in office, surprisingly revealed his change of heart.
“Donald Trump? He's done nothing wrong for me. He's only done great things for me,” the rapper said in a shocking revelation.
This change stems in part from Trump's decision to pardon Michael “Harry-O” Harris, the co-founder of Death Row Records, which was Snoop's first label, according to the Times.
“So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” Snoop Dogg added, referring to this act of compassion.
In 2021, Snoop Dogg praised the decision, saying: “I love what they did… That's a great job for the president and his team on their way out.”
Previously, Snoop Dogg was known for his outspoken criticism of Trump's policies and actions.
In 2017, he was embroiled in a major controversy after the release of his music video for the song “Lavender” featuring BADBADNOTGOOD.
The video, which showed Snoop Dogg pointing a toy gun at a cigarette-smoking clown resembling Trump, and pulling the trigger to reveal a “BANG” flag, sparked widespread attention and criticism, including a sharp rebuke from Trump's legal team and Trump himself. Who suggested that Snoop Dogg be arrested for this act.
Furthermore, Snoop Dogg continued his political commentary later that year with the release of his song “Make America Great Again”, a play on Trump's famous campaign slogan “Make America Great Again”.
“Some people feel like we should make America great again,” Snoop Dogg said in a statement, “but that time they point out always brings me back to separation and segregation, so I'd rather just make America great again.”
“What I mean by that is that in my life, it was when young black men in poor areas organized themselves to help their communities and take care of their communities because society left them to die.”
In 2019, Snoop Dogg called President Trump a “nigger” in a short, profanity-laced video posted that weekend and urged federal government employees not to vote for Trump in the upcoming election due to not getting paid during a partial shutdown of border wall funding. . Snoop Dogg says workers would be “some stupid bastards” if they vote for Trump.
Therefore, this latest shift by Snoop Dogg represents a major and unexpected shift in his public stance toward Trump, especially as Trump prepares to run again for the presidency in the 2024 US elections.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Donald Trump is on track to win more black votes than any other Republican presidential candidate in history.
A review of polls by Bloomberg found that Trump is poised to get between 14% and 30% of the black vote.
Trump won only eight percent of the black vote in 2020, according to data analyzed by the Pew Research Center. This small number was still larger than any other Republican candidate before him.
A Morning Consult poll published last December also showed that Joe Biden is losing support among black voters while President Trump is gaining support. Over the past year, Biden's support fell nine points, from 70 to 61 percent, while Trump's support rose seven points, or 15 to 22 percent.
