In a surprising turn of events, Snoop Dogg recently expressed unexpected sentiments towards former President Donald Trump. Known for his outspokenness and occasional controversies, Snoop Dogg’s shift in tone caught many by surprise.
Speaking about Trump, Snoop Dogg stated, “He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris.” This statement refers to Michael Harris, a co-founder of Death Row Records, Snoop Dogg’s first label, who was incarcerated for drug trafficking and attempted murder. Trump granted Harris a pardon in January 2021, a move that evidently earned Snoop Dogg’s appreciation and respect.
This newfound respect contrasts sharply with Snoop Dogg’s past criticisms of Trump. Following Trump’s ascent to the presidency in 2016, Snoop Dogg publicly disavowed him, even joking about moving to Canada to avoid Trump’s leadership. Additionally, in a music video for his song “Lavender,” Snoop Dogg depicted a clown character resembling Trump, sparking controversy.
The tensions escalated further when Snoop Dogg released the cover art for his EP titled “Make America Crip Again,” featuring a body labeled “Trump.” These actions reflected Snoop Dogg’s strong opposition to Trump’s presidency at the time.
However, the pardon of Michael Harris seems to have softened Snoop Dogg’s stance. In January 2021, Snoop Dogg commended Trump’s decision to grant Harris clemency, expressing approval for the outgoing president’s actions.
This shift in perspective highlights the complexities of celebrity-political dynamics and demonstrates how individual actions can influence public figures’ opinions. Snoop Dogg’s journey from criticism to appreciation of Trump underscores the importance of keeping an open mind and acknowledging positive actions, regardless of past disagreements.
