Snoop Dogg Responds To His Critics
On Sunday, Snoop Dogg posted a video on his Instagram Stories addressing the criticism against him for performing at Trump's Crypto Ball.
He began by asking his critics to focus on themselves rather than "worrying" about him.
The rapper said, "Y'all can't hate me enough for me, I love too much. Get your life right, stop worrying about mine." He added, "I'm cool, I'm together. Still a Black man. Still a hundred percent Black. I ain't going nowhere, cuh! I'm right here. Get the Crypto on Crip, though."
Afterward, Snoop Dogg faced his Black critics, saying, "We gotta learn to pick each other up instead of pulling each other down. That's what we're great at as Black people. We're great at tearing each other down. You can be up one minute and they try to pull you down the next."
He concluded, "But I'm a strong Black man. I'm cut from a different cloth. You can't tear me down. I'm one of God's children, and I'm taking the load."

Another fan commented, "Your color is NOT under fire. Your moral compass is..."
A third person trolled Snoop Dogg, writing, "Snoop: Which one of you Uncle Toms is going to perform for him first. Also Snoop: I's the one to perform for him first sir."
Another disappointed fan wrote, "You can vote for whoever you want. You can perform for whoever you want. However, if your words and your actions contradict and you flip, then people have every right to call you on it. That's life that's the trade-off."
A fifth fan added, "We not hating Snoop, we disappointed."
