Snoop Dogg Has Been Quietly Asking Donald Trump To Commute Death Row Co-Founder’s Sentence

    Snoop Dogg and Donald Trump have a complicated relationship, to say the least. In 2017, Snoop teamed up with the Toronto-based instrumentalist group BADBADNOTGOOD for the “Lavender” video, which saw the West Coast gangsta rap legend holding a fake gun to a Trump impersonator’s head and pulling the trigger.

    Upon seeing it, Trump fired off a tweet slamming Uncle Snoop, “Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!”

    Snoop hasn’t kept his feelings about the outgoing president over the years, but it looks like he needs a Hail Mary from him on his last full day at the White House.

    According to the Daily Beast, the D-O-Double-G has been quietly working with a pair of activists as part of a “last-ditch effort” to convince Trump to commute the sentence of Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, who has been in prison for over 30 years on drug trafficking and murder charges.

    Snoop reportedly brought Harris’ case to his former producer Weldon Angelos, who was pardoned by Trump in 2020. Angelos had been sentenced to 55 years in prison for selling less than $400 worth of weed to an undercover cop.

    From there, Angelos contacted criminal justice advocate Alice Johnson who also had her sentence pardoned by Trump in 2018. Johnson brought the case directly to Trump not long after meeting with Snoop and Angelos.

    “The president knows how much this case means to me,” Johnson told the Daily Beast. “In reviewing Michael Harris’ case, his story, and what he’s gone through, this is such an unfair case. … He should have been home a decade ago. I really felt for this man. I am very hopeful that he will be home before the end of the Trump administration.”

    Johnson says Snoop is “appreciative” of Trump’s prison reform policies and had a message from him to deliver to Trump, “I appreciate what you’ve done for some of our brothers, even if you don’t release Mr. Harris.”

    Lil Wayne Expected To Be Pardoned By Donald Trump This Week

    Harris, who helped found the iconic Hip Hop label alongside Suge Knight, was convicted of attempted murder and kidnapping in 1988, and is currently incarcerated at a federal correctional facility in Lompoc, California. While behind bars, the 58-year-old has reportedly reinvented himself as an activist and is pushing for prison reform.

    Trump is expected to pardon up to 100 people on Tuesday (January 19), including Lil Wayne, other “high-profile rappers,” white-collar criminals and several White House staffers.

    1. Trump is a racist criminal. fuck him for life, regardless. HE deserves to be in prison, even if he pardons certain black people from crimes.

      1. Haha ok. Based on what? You seem legit being that you have a picture with your name, so I’m expecting a great response from you since you seem to be a blue checkmark in here. Cause if that’s true. Then he is the worst “racist criminal” I’ve ever seen.

      2. That’s exactly the type of shit a white racist would say about a black man he’s never met. 1 thing I noticed thru trumps time as prez…The “victims” turn to the same exact shitty ways when they get to be the bully. We like to point fingers at certain groups, but we all got the same shitty character, just different views. Given the opportunity, the oppressed will gladly become the oppressor. And the politicians feed the “racism” cuz if we’re fighting each other, we’re not fighting them. Stop being fucking stupid people

    2. Yet Biden advocated the Crime bill that put y’all in prison in the first place. But fuck Trump anyway.

        1. Don’t know who that is and literally never said anything good about the BLM riots (or BLM in general). You may want to get checked for dementia there, numb nuts.

    3. Maybe if crappy sites like this would have posted more about Trump’s criminal reform and all the shit he did for our inner cities some of you dumb asses who think they are so “woke” wouldn’t be so brainwashed and voted for Biden who brought about one of the worst crime bills in history, he has a long racist history in general and its all on video to see for your self, not some bs i heard him say some shit 30 years ago hearsay junk. But yall think because hes giving us 1,400$ hes doing something special for people. wake up fools

    4. lol @ Snoop never having had anything nice to say about Trump for the past 5 years but now all of a sudden wants a favor at the very last minute.

    5. Snoop jumped out the window about 5 years ago. He’s like a politician now. Everything he says has some ulterior motive, nothing is genuine. He has completely sold out. That doesn’t take away his accolades in rap or anything, “Doggystyle” is a masterpiece. I won’t call it a classic, because that word has lost it’s meaning in hiphop since people call an album with 4 good songs on it a classic now. But, as an actual ‘voice’ in the rap community, I’m out on Snoop. He’s been compromised. Peace.

      1. man, honestly, these rappers are human…that young kid “thugger” persona they had coming into the industry was real, but when these guys experience life outside the hood, especially with all that bread, they see things a lot differently than their innocent hood eyes saw things. I’m seeing where you’re coming from though, well said, but just look a bit deeper into what it is…none of them are who we thought they were lol…

    6. Trump pardoned the guy along with Weezy. Bush pardoned Forte (the Fugees affiliate). So it’s clear that Republicans have done more for hip hop than Democrats.

    7. So he rather fight for a gangster piece of shit rather than fight fo 2Pacs father Mutulu Shakur to be freed

    8. I’m pretty sure Trump is only helping the ones who held it down for him publicly since he’s not getting another term.

    9. Well it’s about time Uncle Sam, the Sam I Am……. the Man…….Did something for the man!!!

      Just got out of the clink myself. Police Brutality like a mother fucker. Got some bars to spit and a dope ass movie.
