Rapper Snoop Dogg shows his support for President-elect Trump.
The “Gin and Juice” rapper took the stage at the Crypto Ball, a pre-inauguration event, and got the crowd on their feet dancing to a few hits.
From Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” to Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds (Don’t Worry About A Thing),” Snoop pumped up Trump’s fans as a DJ and delivered a positive yet inspiring message through music. He also performed several of his hits, including, “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”

Videos of the rapper have surfaced on social media of Snoop carefree in Washington, DC, wearing a black jacket with gold buttons and a bowtie. She completed her look with gold colored sunglasses.
Other notable guests include rapper Rick Ross and UFC star Colby Covington, both of whom have written about hanging with Snoop.

The “Young, Wild and Free” rapper performed after he recently changed his song about President-elect Trump.
Years after Snoop appeared on “The Apprentice” in 2007, he called Trump an artist and mocked him in a music video. In his video for his song “Lavender” in 2017, Snoop portrayed Trump as a clown and shot the president in the head.

Snoop also brought laughs during the 2011 Trump heat.
In 2020, during an appearance on Big Boy’s radio station, Snoop said that Trump should not be in office.
“I’ve never voted a single day in my life, but this year I think I’ll go out and vote because I can’t wait to see this punk in office for one more year,” said the rapper to Big. Boy’s Neighborhood on Real 92.3.”
The 53-year-old rapper explained that he did not believe he was allowed to vote at the time because of his criminal record. Snoop was convicted in 1990 and 2007.
