Snoop Dogg Faces Backlash as He Attempts to Revamp Image Post-Trump Performance Controversy

Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus Jr., 53, is enduring criticism for his performance at the Crypto Ball for Donald Trump's inauguration on January 17. Although honored as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People for 2025, Snoop faced backlash for seeming to contradict his pro-community message. Critics questioned whether his actions truly supported his fan base. Despite past apprehensions about Trump, Snoop expressed appreciation for the former president's actions, including pardoning a friend, insisting he remains a proud advocate for his community, undeterred by detractors.
