Y’all can’t hate enough on me. I love too much. Get your life right stop worrying about mine. I’m cool, I’m together. Still a Black man, still 100 percent Black.” (via VIBE.com)
Despite the backlash Snoop Dogg has faced for his association with Donald Trump, several well-known figures have stepped forward to support him. Celebrities like Charlamagne Tha God, Stephen A. Smith, Rick Ross, Nelly, and Soulja Boy have encouraged fans to stand by the Grammy-winning rapper rather than turn away from him.
Snoop Dogg is not the only celebrity who has faced backlash linked to Trump’s inauguration. Kim Kardashian also reportedly lost 150,000 followers after she shared First Lady Melania Trump’s picture, while country singer Carrie Underwood faced criticism for her participation in related events.
