Snoop Dogg blasted for ‘stand up to hate' commercial with Tom Brady after performing at Trump inauguration

Independent10-02-2025

Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady have been criticized for their 'Stand Up to Hate' Super Bowl commercial over the pair's support for President Donald Trump.
In the advertisement, which aired during Sunday's NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, Snoop and Brady are shown going back and forth, trading 'I hate you' statements.
'I hate you because I don't understand you,' Snoop says, while Brady hits back: 'I hate you because people I know hate you.'
The screen then goes black before the message, 'The reasons for hate are as stupid as they sound' appears.
'Man, I hate that things are so bad that we have to make a commercial about it,' Snoop adds, with Brady concurring: 'Me too.'
The commercial was paid for by the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism.
The advertisement comes weeks after Snoop appalled fans with his surprise performance at Trump's inauguration party. His support of the second-term Republican was a major change of heart from his previous views of Trump.
In 2017, the 'Drop It Like It's Hot' rapper sparked outrage by pretending to shoot a clown resembling the then-president in his remix of the BadBadNotGood song 'Lavender.' The following year, he released another video of him saying 'f*** the president' while smoking a blunt outside the White House.
However, last year, Snoop changed his tune, praising Trump and claiming he 'has done only great things' for him.
Brady also has a history with the president. In 2015, the Patriots star infamously displayed a Make America Great Again cap in his locker. Asked at the time if Trump could win, the quarterback said: 'I hope so. That would be great.' He added: 'There'd be a putting green on the White House lawn, I'm sure of that.'
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has since refrained from discussing his political leanings; however, this didn't stop Trump from boasting about his supposed endorsement in 2016.
Just before the vote, Trump had touted Brady as one of his highest-profile endorsements, claiming that the sportsman had told him: 'Donald, I support you, you're my friend, and I voted for you.'
On X/Twitter, numerous people called out Brady and Snoop for their apparent 'hypocrisy.'
'Nothing says 'taking a stand' like cashing a check when it's convenient. But hey, maybe the real message was 'hate is bad… unless the price is right,'' wrote one.
A second commented: 'These two hold no weight on the subject.'
'These people have no convictions they go with whatever pays the most lmao,' a third agreed, wile a fourth said: 'Hypocrisy at its best. Snoop is an accessory now to all this hate. He kissed the ring.'
'Snoop Dogg doing a commercial about speaking out against hate while also being the man who performed for the enforcer of hate is WILD!!!!' another added.
'This was the dumbest commercial of the Super Bowl,' one declared. 'If Snoop Dog wanted to stand up to hate, he shouldn't have sold out and performed at Trump's inauguration.'

Elon Musk says he now 'regrets' some of his social media posts about Trump after major fallout

A reunion of the world's richest man and the most powerful may not be imminent, but at least one of them has now expressed his regrets as their relationship lies in ruins. Elon Musk said on X in the early hours of Wednesday that he 'regrets' some of the barbs he posted as he and President Donald Trump traded insults on social media and said they 'went too far.' Musk didn't elaborate in his 3 a.m. ET message on which posts from last week he regretted and he didn't explain what caused his sudden change of heart. At the height of their online feud — sparked by landmark spending legislation Trump calls the 'big, beautiful bill' — Musk said president wouldn't have won the election without him and accused him of undermining the work of DOGE in cutting billions from federal budgets. Musk referred to the bill as a 'disgusting abomination' that would land the U.S. in unsustainable debt. Trump on Saturday made clear his disappointment with his former ally, suggesting the U.S. government could cut its lucrative ties with Musk's businesses and prompting the angry Tesla founder to highlight the president's one-time links with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Musk replied 'Yes' to an X user who suggested Trump should be impeached. In an interview Saturday Trump told NBC News that there would be unspecified 'serious consequences' for Musk were he to financially back any Democrat candidates in future elections who oppose the government's sweeping budget bill. The bill has already passed the House, but it could be rejected in the Senate with just four Republican defections needed to defeat it. Musk has previously been an influential advisor to the Trump administration and a major Republican donor, leading the Department of Government Efficiencies in cutting billions from federal budgets and fronting election campaigns. The pair showered each other with praise and the president invited Musk to attend cabinet meetings. Trump marked the official end of Musk's government role with a ceremony in the Oval Office during which he handed the Tesla founder a symbolic golden key. But as Trump's priorities shifted to passing his budget bill and Musk wound down his time at the White House to return to his businesses, the relationship soured. The stakes are high for Musk and his companies, some of which rely on government subsidies. Tesla lost $152 billion from its market capitalization in the wake of the spat, its biggest ever hit, but its stock price has since pared some of those losses.

LA imposes curfew as protests against immigration raids spread across US

Protests against Donald Trump's immigration policies continued in Los Angeles for a fifth day even as local authorities ordered a curfew in parts of the city. The LA mayor, Karen Bass, issued the curfew as protests against the immigration raids spread across the US and the California governor, Gavin Newsom, delivered a rebuke of the Trump administration, accusing the government of 'pulling a military dragnet' across LA and warning 'other states are next'. The Democratic governor's remarks came after the US president ordered the deployment of nearly 5,000 troops, including national guard and marines, to the nation's second-largest city

All of the best vegetable sculptures from the Lambeth Country Show 2025

When it comes to what you can do with vegetables, the possibilities are endless. They can be boiled, steamed, sautéed, roasted, and even turned into fabulous sculptures. Every year, the Lambeth Country Show hosts a hilarious, and frankly iconic, vegetable sculpture competition, where veg-loving artists create weird and wonderful scenes out of only the finest produce. In 2025 the competition saw Donald Trump, Chappell Roan and Mark Rylance recreated in veggie form. But who squashed the competition? And whose leaves were a major flop? Here are our favourite veggie sculptures from this year's country show. WINNER: 'Not In My Broc-Yard' It was the topic of the year: the battle for Brockwell Park. This artwork depicting a very angry broccolli alongside a grimacing 'Mark Pak-Choi-Lance' poked fun at the campaigners trying to stop festivals in the park, which help fund the free to attend Lambeth Country show. 'Not In My Broc-Yard' was one of three entries on this topic, but this feisty broccoli winning took the title with 704 likes on Instagram. Mark Rylunch and his NIMBY campeaners This entry speaks for itself. Chap-peel Roan Pop superstar Chappell Roan got a veggie makeover complete with ginger (carrot) hair. Cornclave (1 and 2) The conclave appeared in two works, as an army of baby corn elected the new pope. Trump goes pukelear Trump, tarriffs, and a stream of veggie vomit. We love the chaos of this one. Twin Leaks RIP David Lynch, you would have loved being recreated as a squash at the Lambeth Country Show. Enjoyed these? Check out all the entries on the Lambeth Country Show Instagram.
