Snoop Dogg has officially denounced Spotify as he teams up with a new streaming service to release his music.
On Thursday (February 27), Billboard reported that the Doggfather is officially partnering with Web3 platform Tune. FM and launched the partnership with his newest single, “Spaceship Party.”
“I don’t fuck with Spotify anymore. I’m only on Tune.FM,” Snoop told the outlet.
The decision came about after Snoop met Tune.FM founder/CEO Andrew Antar at Trump’s Crypto Ball (which the rapper came under fire for performing at.)

Tune.FM is a decentralized Web3 streaming platform using blockchain for what they say is more transparency and fairness. Its native cryptocurrency, JAM, enables instant micropayments per second streamed. Users get a JAM wallet upon signup for spending on streaming, tipping, and exclusive content. The platform’s AI promotes independent artists organically, and musicians can tokenize music rights for fan investment and royalties.
Antar told Billboard: “We are thrilled to welcome Snoop Dogg as the face of Tune.FM. Snoop is the OG pioneer who is always on the cutting edge of technology and new ways of doing business. He totally gets it, and we are ready to take on the world together.” A classically trained musician, Antar also plays violin on “Spaceship Party.”
In regard to the aforementioned Trump performance, Snoop Dogg reportedly lost 571,800 followers on Instagram in the week following.
He has also been ditched by thousands of fans on X, where his follower count has decreased by almost 20k.

Despite some fans turning their back on him, Snoop still boasts more than 88 million followers on Instagram and over 20 million on X.
The 53-year-old has come under heavy fire since performing at the pro-Trump Crypto Ball and posing for photos with various far-right influencers and MAGA supporters.
Snoop was even called out by a former Barack Obama staffer, who accused him of being a hypocrite after he previously criticized Black artists who performed at Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.
“Who would have guessed that Snoop Dogg would end up being one of the ‘Uncle Tom ass n-ggers’ he himself railed against not long ago? What a fucking sellout,” they wrote in a scathing post on X.

However, the West Coast rap legend has refused to wave the white flag and issued a defiant response to the criticism.
“Y’all can’t hate enough me for me, I love too much. Get your life right, stop worrying about mine,” he said in an Instagram video. “I’m cool, I’m together. Still a Black man. Still a hundred percent Black. I ain’t going nowhere, cuh! I’m right here. Get the Crypto on Crip, though.”
He then addressed his Black critics: “We gotta learn to pick each other up instead of pulling each other down. That’s what we’re great at as Black people, we’re great at tearing each other down. You can be up one minute and they try to pull you down the next.

“But I’m a strong Black man, I’m cut from a different cloth. You can’t tear me down. I’m one of God’s children, and I’m taking the load.”

Snoop was a vocal critic of Trump when he first took office but has softened his stance towards the controversial president ever since he pardoned Death Row co-founder Michael “Harry O” Harris in early 2021.
