Prominent Trump supporters on X are asking why Snoop Dog was asked to perform at a Trump-tied Crypto Ball inauguration event last night. They don’t understand why this would happen:
For example:
What sicko booked Snoop to play Trump’s inauguration? Snoop literally did a mock assassination on DJT in a music video. Am I the only one scratching my head over this? pic.twitter.com/FqYGAdH5aA

Why is Snoop Dog having anything to do with this inauguration? He made a snuff video of Trump. He has hated Trump and his supporters. I don’t understand this. We are rewarding the people who hated him the most but shunning people that just have valid critiques of some of his…

There is an answer to this question and Independent Sentinel has it. In short, Trump pardoned a friend of Snoop’s and that completely changed his attitude toward Trump.
Here’s more:
However, when Trump granted clemency to Michael “Harry-O” Harris, co-founder of Death Row Records, Snoop publicly thanked the president for the gesture.
Despite the original rift, Snoop revealed last year, “I have nothing but love for Donald Trump,” Snoop told The Sunday Times in 2024. “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me: he has done only great things for me; he pardoned Michael Harris.”
Harris was first charged with murder until the witness recanted. Harris served 33 years for dealing cocaine. He spent his time in prison creating mentorships in prison and created one of the most prolific labels in the world – Death Row Records. Many a Hip Hop star was born.
Donald Trump said he should have been released decades before.
