Black Web Drags Snoop Dogg Getting Icon Award After Supporting Trump

Whereas his speech and subsequent tribute had been each off the chain, many on-line had been fast to level out the obvious hypocrisy over the “Gin & Juice” rapper’s honor…and to be trustworthy, they simply may need a degree. We’ll clarify.

As we beforehand informed you, the rap legend got here below fireplace again in January when it was introduced he’d be performing on the pre-inauguration Crypto Ball in celebration of President Donald Trump. This transfer was in stark distinction what he stated in 2017, when he took different artists to job for performing for Trump throughout his earlier presidential time period. So naturally, the change in tune earlier this 12 months drew ire from his followers.

Nonetheless, it clearly wasn’t sufficient to discourage followers (or BET for that matter) from giving him a prestigious honor. And whereas aligning to to a president who has actually referred to African nations as “sh*thole international locations” does not take away from the truth that Snoop is a monumental determine within the rap sport — it does beg the query of whether or not or not all his accolades and road cred are retaining him from reaping the identical consequence that Chrisette Michele obtained again when she carried out at Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.

Let’s face it: Michele obtained dragged for filth over that call and she or he’s been nearly exiled ever since. However Snoop, in addition to a handful of different rappers, have persistently leaned in direction of Trump’s route in by some means however have but to face any actual outcomes due to it. The distinction right here is understandably curious, is it not?

Simply months in the past, Snoop was getting dragged. And now, months later, he is getting honored. How’s that for hypocrisy? And simply in case you although we had been alone in noticing this, only one look at customers on X/Twitter will present you in any other case.

“Snoop Dogg being embraced on the BET Awards after promoting out to Trump is insane. We require zero accountability from Black Celebrities,” wrote one consumer.

Added one other, “I’m sorry however #wager ought to have skipped honoring Snoop this 12 months seeing how he disenchanted all the black group by going again on his phrase and supporting Trump at his inauguration. Humorous how ppl had been jiggaboos for performing in 2020 & now that he had an opportunity it was excuses.”
