LOS ANGELES, CA – Rapper Snoop Dogg has seemingly shifted his opinion on former President Donald Trump. In a recent interview, the 52-year-old artist expressed his lack of animosity towards the 45th president, stating, “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris.”
The timing of Snoop Dogg’s change in attitude comes after his satirical remark last November, in which he claimed he would “give up smoke.” This statement shocked many, as Snoop Dogg is known for his affinity for marijuana. However, his recent declaration has stirred up attention once again.
During the final days of Trump’s presidency, he granted clemency to Michael “Harry O” Harris, a co-founder of Death Row Records who had been convicted of attempted murder in a kidnapping case. This act of mercy seemed to have influenced Snoop Dogg’s perception of the former president.
It is worth noting that Snoop Dogg previously held a much harsher stance on Trump. In 2019, he urged his fans to vote against him, referring to Trump as a “racist, f—king clown president.” Additionally, in 2017, the rapper released a music video in which he mocked shooting a character named “Ronald Klump,” a clear reference to Trump.
Despite his past criticisms, Snoop Dogg’s recent comments praising Trump’s clemency actions suggest a shift in his perspective. The rapper even called the work of Trump and his team on their way out of the White House “great.”
Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., Snoop Dogg has had a long and successful career in the music industry. He is known for his outspokenness and has previously engaged in public feuds with other celebrities, including Trump. However, his evolving views demonstrate that people’s opinions can change over time.
As the race for the Republican nomination for president heats up, Trump remains the frontrunner. Snoop Dogg’s surprising statements may contribute to the ongoing discussion surrounding Trump’s controversial presidency.
