Summary
Snoop Dogg faced backlash from fans after performing at the “Crypto Ball,” a black-tie event celebrating Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration.
Snoop, who once criticized Trump in his music and public statements, praised him in 2024 and performed his hit “Nuthin’ but a G Thang” at the $2,500-$5,000 per ticket event hosted by tech moguls.
Fans labeled the performance “embarrassing” and “disrespectful,” citing his past anti-Trump sentiments, including a music video and song that mocked Trump during his first term.
I’ve always prefered Schwarzenegger anyway.
Not to imply that he hasn’t done his fair share of awful things. But at least he refuses to side with fascists.
When he was my governor (growing up I could see the capitol dome from my house if you stood on the roof) I remember I was at some event and he was being moved by people, some guy asked him some righty chud identity politics bullshit and Arny just looks over at him with this “I have 0 time for your bullshit” face and just says
“Maybe don’t be asshole, hm?” And turns to talk to someone else
Arnold isn’t perfect, at all. He might be the only Republican I’ve seen earn even a micro ounce of respect, though
He posted pretty publicly after Jan 6th about how he grew up in the aftermath of Nazism.
People can be complex, and as a conservative, he’s certainly not on the correct side of every issue, but he’s not afraid to speak against the rise of fascist ideology.
