Snoop Dogg hits out at haters after fans slammed decision to perform at Donald Trump’s 'Crypto Ball'

Snoop Dogg's fans weren't best pleased that he performed for the new president

Snoop Dogg has properly addressed the criticism he received for performing at Donald Trump's 'Crypto Ball' earlier this month.

Snoop found himself in hot water with some of his fans after he joined the likes of Soulja Boy and Rick Ross in performing at the event on January 17.

The rapper has previously spoken out against Trump and, when he first came into office in 2017, Snoop said he would 'roast the f**k' out of anyone who performed at his inauguration.

In fact, Snoop even had a clown dressed like Trump feature in his music video for 'Lavender'.

But the 'Drop It Like It's Hot' rapper's feelings towards the president have seemingly changed over the years, with him accepting an invite to perform at Trump's Crypto Ball.

People were quick to call him out in his apparent change of heart towards the Republican, and said it was 'culturally embarrassing and disrespectful asf' that he performed at the ball.

Another critic said: "All money ain't good money. There is no way Snoop NEED a check. You can turn down some things."

Now Snoop has properly addressed people's remarks and insisted that he's 'still 100 percent Black'.

In a video shared to his Instagram page, the rapper said: "For all the hate I’m going to answer with love, I love too much.

"Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I’m cool. I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100 percent Black. All out ’til you ball out or ’til you fall out."

He continued further on in the clip: "We gotta learn to pick each other up instead of pulling each other down. That’s what we great at as Black people. We great at tearing each other down."

"You can be up one minute and they’ll try to pull you down the next," Snoop added.

"But I’m a strong Black man. I’m cut from a different cloth. You can’t tear me down. I’m one of God’s [children]."

Despite his response, people have continued to express their disappointment in him in the comments section of the video.

One person penned: "Snoop you disappointed us. We been riding with you since we were kids. This one hurts for real."

"ZERO HATE JUST DISAPPOINTED," echoed another.

Others game to his defense, however. Someone said: "We got you Snoop, you are not defined by a single party. We are the United States of America."

"Y’all can never make me hate Snoop," insisted another of his fans.
