Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross and Soulja Boy all were on the bill at a party thrown to welcome the incoming administration of Donald Trump: the first ever Crypto Ball.
The Crypto Ball took place on Friday (January 17) at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in the nation’s capitol. It was hosted by Silicon Valley investor and entrepreneur David Sacks, who Trump appointed the “White House A.I. and Crypto Czar” last month.
The party, from which media was barred, cost between $2,500 and $5,000 to attend. In footage from the event, Snoop can be seen bragging that “they let a real Crip up in the Crypto Ball.”

Snoop’s attendance at a pro-Trump event surprised some fans, as he had a very different opinion in the lead-up to the incoming president’s first inauguration.
Back in January 2017, Snoop heavily criticized Black artists who would perform for Trump, saying he would “roast the fuck out of” any who did it.
The rapper’s public stance on Trump appeared to change after then-president Trump commuted the prison sentence of Death Row Records founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris on the last day of his first term.
Harris learned he was granted clemency at Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution in California where he had been serving time for attempted murder and cocaine trafficking. Snoop producer Weldon Angelos, who received his own Trump pardon, revealed the news via Instagram.
“Happy to announce that Harry O, co-founder of @deathrowrecords is coming home today thanks to myself, @snoopdogg, @alicemariefree (the 3 amigos),” he captioned the post. “Harry O is coming home. A big win for hip hop. Other supporters include @vanjones68 @mchammer and many more.”
Angelos said Harris sent him an email that read, “Thank God. God is great. It feels like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders.”
The commutation came hours after the Daily Beast reported Uncle Snoop had been quietly working with activist Alice Johnson and Angelos as part of a “last-ditch effort” to convince Trump to commute Harris’ sentence. Despite Snoop and Trump’s up-until-then contentious relationship, the West Coast gangsta rap legend was reportedly “appreciative” of Trump’s efforts.
Snoop, Ross, and Soulja Boy aren’t the only rappers who will be at Trump-themed events around the inauguration. Nelly is reportedly set to perform at the Inaugural Liberty Ball, one of three official inauguration parties.
There are also reports that Rod Wave, Kodak Black and Fivio Foreign will attend Trump’s inauguration.
Black Americans are riding blindly and being manipulated by their white liberal masters anymore? Maybe y’all are really evolving 😆 good start
Black Americans aren’t riding blindly and being manipulated by their white liberal masters anymore? Maybe y’all are really evolving 😆 good start
They’re just caving to their white supremacy masters who would easily lynch them in a race war. Blacks are evolving into full blown retards.
Lynch you . Bc the president you didn’t pick won? lmaoo y’all are so pussy lol honestly a shell of yourselves from the 80s and 90s
@yeah it isn’t whites who run Hollywood and these industries. If you still think it’s white people, the brainwashing has worked. Tiny hats.
Downplays my argument without making a counter argument. Keep your dunce cap dipshit.
No, us black Americans are on code. These Sambo ass rappers are degenerates and are doing what they’ve always done, make fools out of themselves. Tracks though since these nerdy white dudes running shit now were the ones making them go platinum riding around the gated community bumping their shit. They love anything that puts black culture in a negative light. These rappers are literally who they think are a good representation of us.
Y’all are broke talking about in code.. it’s bc he made your broke and not doing shit . We all see it @sile tpartner
I’m not broke bitch boy. I make well over six figures. What does being rich or broke have to do with having self-respect for yourself and not letting people who call any intellectual black person with a job a diversity hire buy you? Anyone not white with a job is a DEI hire, but they have these buffoons there to entertain them like some court jesters.
Sounds like insecurity on your end I never said anything about jobs and DEI 😂 even though too many unqualified people worked jobs they didn’t deserve
I’m sorry you think using trigger words like ‘theyll Lynch us’ bc the president you didn’t pick, won and think I’m supposed to take y’all serious
But these right wing figures do everyday. It’s insecure to point out what they do? Anyone that does that, say it with me, is a racist. But your hoe ass can’t see as much.
The first K00N CON 😭
Harriet Tubman would have left all these self serving negroes behind.
And Donald Trump would’ve come to their rescue and they’d all help Make America Great Again ! It’s almost Deportation Day ya’ll, I can’t wait! Hector, where you at ?
These white people be making a mockery out of these entertainers by showing you they can buy them like some new socks. Rappers went from fuck Mr. Bill Clinton and Bob Dole to sitting with the most outwardly racist President of modern times because he used to go to parties with them. Not surprising though. But then some of you doubt if they’d suck a dick for a dollar.
Back culture has been sold to rich white people since the early days of rock and roll and black entertainers have always been happy to take the money regardless. No one cares, no one has any morals or principles, everyone is just out to make money for themselves. It’s the American dream.
Snoop was always a disloyal bitch anyways, Rick Ross is a Cop so that makes sense (CO) and Soulja Boy is irrelevant,try to keep his career afloat
Name amy mainstream hiphop artist and I can name how they’re a phony sellout who made up bogus stories to sell records. It isn’t exclusive yo these three, it’s 99% of them, including Pac, Big, and Nas. JayZ of course too.
This clown trying to defend K00nery. Sounds like a Drake fan.
Where are the receipts? I’ll wait…
Ask the Outlaws,Nas, and Suge Knight,
What a sad sight, to think the inauguration
Is on MLK Holiday. I guess it just shows you we just can’t have anything. Carry on!!!
@tobin MLK Jr was a Rothschild puppet. Yeah, many changes made were positive. But look into it. He was just another pawn used in their sick games.
@TobinFrost MLK would’ve been a Trump supporter 💯 especially in the 2024 election
FOH Carry On!!!
Snoop is a hypocrite and Rick Ross is so stupid his knowledge of politics could be put in a thimble with plenty of space left over. And SB is just desperate.
The edibles strike again.
Such a disappointment. Nothing else to say
I don’t care about the other two, but Snoop, disappointed, but not surprised. He don’t turn down nothing.
I’m sure he’ll be devastated when he hears about your disapproval , Bozo
Get Playboi Carti, Travis, and Ye
God bless America and God Bless Our 47th President Donald J Trump! MAGA Bitches !
That’s a big L for Soulja 🙁
At least Biden was honest . Trump is not even a politic he just a professional lier lol
Good for them. Stop listening to the ignorance and the liberals. They always want to tell you what to think.
MAGA was the case that they gave me.
Well that made me laugh, especially hearing it in snoops voice like he rapped it on the track 😂
