Snoop Dogg has never been afraid of stirring up drama, and this time is no different. After his surprise performance at Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, the internet went wild with criticism. Fans were shocked and called him out for doing the opposite of what he used to stand for. But in true Snoop fashion, the rap legend is addressing the criticism his way—with confidence, resilience, and nothing but love.
In a bold Instagram response, Snoop shut down the haters, making it clear that no amount of negativity is going to shake him. “For all that hate, I’m gonna answer it with love,” he said, defending his decision while recognizing the challenge his performance presented. The controversy then even lost him more than half a million followers and Snoop ain’t sweatin it. “We gotta learn to pick each other up instead of pulling each other down,” he added, reminding everyone that unity should come before politics. Whether fans agree with him or not, one thing’s for sure—Snoop stays Snoop.
Snoop Dogg Addresses Trump Inauguration Performance BACKLASH
The video dives deep into the fallout, with critics slamming Snoop for his change of heart—especially since, back in 2017, he roasted artists for performing at Trump’s first inauguration. Now, with him on stage for the 2025 event, many are calling him out for hypocrisy. But Snoop isn’t backing down. He’s standing firm in his belief that tearing each other apart doesn’t help anyone, emphasizing that he’s still 100% himself and unshakable.
The video also makes a wild juxtaposition with Snoop’s comments in 2017, where he brutally mocked artists playing for Trump, to him taking the stage at this event. His silence about it on his own social media only serves to fan the flames. Rick Ross, who also graced the stage, however, didn’t shy away from taking it all in, sharing a cheeky clip from the night.

If you’re shocked by this, you’re not alone. But this isn’t the first time hip-hop artists have made unexpected political moves—remember Kanye’s White House visit? This could just be another twist in the ever-unpredictable world of entertainment and politics.
And he’s not alone—Nelly, who also performed at the event, has been facing similar criticism. The Ride Wit Me rapper brushed it off, calling it “just another day in Hollywood” and saying he’s focused on unity, not division. Both artists are proving that no matter how much backlash comes their way, they’re going to keep doing them.
