If you recall, in January, Snoop performed at a Crypto Ball, hosted by Trump's crypto czar David Sacks, to celebrate the incoming administration. He received immediate backlash, with tons of fans calling him out on social media and thousands reportedly unfollowing him.
It appeared to be a big change in opinion for Snoop, who had once been one of Trump's most vocal critics. He'd notably refused to vote for him in 2016 and said those who supported him in 2020 were "stupid motherfuckers."

At the time, Snoop briefly addressed the backlash in an Instagram video, saying people needed to "stop worrying" about him, and he further addressed the backlash this week on The Breakfast Club.
When asked if he was bothered by the criticism he received, Snoop said no, because, to him, he did it for a good cause. "I DJed at the Crypto Ball for what, 30 minutes?" he said. "Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help out the inner city and the community, and teach financial literacy and crypto in a space that it don't exist. That's 30 minutes. [For] 30 years, Snoop Dogg been doing great things for the community, building, showing up, standing up for the people, making it happen, being all I can be."

He also clarified that he didn't endorse Trump. "Even if I would have done it for him and hung out with him and took a picture with him, can't none of you motherfuckers tell me what I can and can't do," he continued. "But I'm not a politician. I don't represent the Republican Party. I don't represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherfucking Gangster Party period point blank, and G shit we don't explain shit so that's why I didn't explain. That's why I didn't go into detail when motherfuckers was trying to cancel me and say he a sellout."
Snoop then shared direct comments he received on Instagram. He said, "I would post shit and I see motherfuckers like, 'Oh he a sellout.' You know what I would do? Jump right in their DM with a video, 'You bitch ass [N-word]. What's happening, [N-word], I'm Snoop Dogg, [N-word], what you want to do?' And guess what they would do? 'Oh, man, I'm just a fan man. I'm sorry.' Yeah [N-word], you got me fucked up. [N-word], I jump all off in your shit [N-word] and talk to you face to face."
Snoop said, "The things that I do in real life should matter to you more, not what I do when I'm DJing or making music or doing this and that." He added that the question should be, "What is he like as a real person?"
