    “He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris so I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.” - Snoop because Donald pardoned the co-founder of Death Row Records Source Jan 29, 2024 - HuffPo

    It’s really weird to see Snoop continuing to get treated like some sort of cross-generational wholesome Santa Claus. He’s just a run-of-the-mill selfish millionaire. There’s a reason he gets along so well with Martha Stewart. He has nothing in common with you and doesn’t give a shit about anything but himself and his personal brand. There are legit icons of Hip Hop worth celebrating and deserving of being beloved public figures, but Snoop Dogg is not one of them.

    Edit: some of you appear to believe it’s okay to be a Trump supporter as long as Donald Trump did your buddy a favor. So allow me to clear this up, it’s not. Hell, supporting a fascist just because he did your buddy a favor is barely better than being openly fascist and only furthers my point that Snoop is a selfish piece of shit.

      As long as they aren’t using there platform to promote dumb reactionary views like Kanye or j.k. Rowling just let people enjoy themselves. To the extent that people view snoop as political it’s usually in regards to him representing weed / black stoner lifestyle and it’s broader acceptance and legalization, which I’m all for. Even the article you pointed to where he praised trump was for getting his friend off for a non - violent drug offense which is good, even if trump did it. It would be better if he was letting off the average lower class black person in jail for that but something’s better then nothing.

          this comment is insane. did you miss the part where the non violent drug offense got pardoned? or would you rather they rot in prison? not a good look DxK, not a good look at all
