Snoop Dogg continues to feel the backlash after performing at an event celebrating Donald Trump’s inauguration, hemorrhaging a huge amount of social media followers.
According to the New York Post, the rap icon has lost 571,800 followers on Instagram since taking the stage at the Crypto Ball on January 17, where Rick Ross and Soulja Boy also performed.
He has also been ditched by thousands of fans on X (formerly Twitter), where his follower count has decreased by almost 20,000.
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 recently 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.
In an interview with The Sunday Times last year, Tha Doggfather said: “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris. So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”
All of this because Trump pardoned Harry O.
Why are they on social media? All the platforms support Trump Meta, X, TikTok, and then hardware too Apple and Microsoft and now Google. I swear people are stupid. You helped him win you clowns won’t put down big tech his people actually boycotted stuff.
I’m not really sure what you are going on about. You strike as someone who didn’t care when Biden was in office and big tech was supporting him. In some cases taking orders from the alphabet agencies. It was all fine then right? Big tech is overwhelmingly liberal and overwhelming donate to democrat politicians. None of this has changed. You just seem to be mad that big tech sees a change has come and are trying to move with it. I am also awaiting the “both parties are the same” argument in which a lot of people who say that support democrats until they lose. Just because they seem to be changing some of what they used to do doesn’t mean they support Trump.
Lately Snoop has been getting booked to “perform” and sells tickets to a show but ends up doing a lame DJ set which also has lost him many fans.
Why aren’t you talking about all the millions of follower Beyonce lost?
Snoop give people a new Def Jam game or a spiritual successor and squash all the beef you have with the young generation guys like Dave Blunts and Future so they can be in the game Carti and Yeat need to be in it.
If I was snoop, I’d be happy as fuck those people unfollowed me. Those are the type of people I could give zero shits about. Iykyk
Youre not even Bow wow lol
This is cap as the young folks say. Snoop is a business man who conducted business. Trying to vilify Snoop to attack Trump is propaganda. Most business people are red. Those who want to do business are going to go Red. Black Dems need to stop crashing out for the Dems. The Black community doesn’t gain from it. Reparations is what Dems who are descendants of Chattel Slavery should be talking about. You can’t claim to be pro Black community.if you refuse to carry our message. We will know who not like us by who doesn’t support.
So, out of 88 million followers, only about 500k cares enough about politics to stop following a musician over them? Gotcha
I probably follow a bunch of people I dont see posts from regularly
you can’t really blame him, he’s a recovering heroin addict
Snoop wants black folks to lift each other up and not drag each other down today while yesterday he wanted to drag black folks down for exactly what he did during the DJT inauguration festivities. Can’t have it both ways Unc.
Notice none of you call Eminem out on his hypocrisy? He still hangs with Snoop, 50, Wayne, Kid Rock and others that endorsed Trump meanwhile he dissed Candace Owens and Kanye funny didn’t say anything about Ben Shapiro and Tom MacDonald???? Y’all quiet tho. Kendrick also quiet. Just letting you know alll these people are hypocrites and stupid. Beyonce, Megan, Cardi B, Glorilla, Sexyy Red don’t platform them they’re not gods. Look at Diddy as an example and Obama.
Ben Shapiro and Tom MacDonald arent a factor lol. Hip Hop heads dont listen to them.
Ems stance is well known. He doesnt ‘hang out’ with Kid Rock, or Lil Wayne particularly. Running into someone every few years isnt hanging out lol.
Snoop and 50 especially are close personal friends that goes past music.
Well, I stopped following years ago. Not due to any virtue signaling bs reason, but because his music went to shit. Missionary is garbage. It’s crap. Nobody likes it. Some pretended to like it. It’s bad.
Snoop a fool for bringing Black folks down in 2017 then trying to say we’re bringing each other down now lmao
Another one of my emasculated African Americans. Here boy.
He has lost less around 5% of his Followers on Instagram
He has lost less than 1% on X
