Following his headline performance at Donald Trump’s inaugural Crypto Ball, Snoop Dogg has addressed the backlash he received from fans.
The event, which featured a mix of celebrities and politicians, was organized to showcase the President-Elect’s backing of cryptocurrency and his commitment to incorporating bitcoin into the national financial infrastructure.
Snoop Dogg, also known as Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, performed his hit song Nuthin’ but a G Thang at the party and faced criticism after sharing a clip of his performance on Instagram.
“This is culturally embarrassing and disrespectful as f**k,” one person wrote.
“Even Snoop Dogg bent knee to Donald Trump. Never thought I’d see that,” wrote another.
The rapper has since responded to the criticism by re-posting a video by fellow performer at the event, Rick Ross.
In the video, Snoop says, “Got a real Crip up in the Crypto Ball, bang bang,” before showing a peace sign and smiling at the camera.
The 53-year-old rapper has previously mocked Donald Trump.
