Snoop Dogg has said he has “nothing but love and respect” for Donald Trump – despite hurling a barrage of insults at the former president in recent years.
Iconic rapper Drop It Like It’s Hot, 52, said the 2024 Republican hopeful has never done him anything wrong and sang his praises in a new interview.
He didn’t go so far as to endorse him, but Snoop said Trump did “great things” when he pardoned one of his friends, Michael Harris, for his 2021 prison sentence.
This is despite the fact that Snoop previously parodied Trump’s assassination in his music videos, told people not to vote for him, called his fans “stupid assholes” and said he was a “racist, goddamn clown president” during his last appearance. employment.
Snoop, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., seems to have turned over a new leaf.

Speaking to the Sunday TimesSnoop said, “Donald Trump? He hasn’t done anything to me.
“He’s done nothing but great things for me. He forgave Michael Harris.
“So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”
In 2021, the rap mogul praised the “great work” Trump and his administration were doing “on the way out” after learning that cocaine baron Michael “Harry O” Harris had been pardoned.
Snoop said at the time, “That’s a great job for the president and his team on the way out. They did a great job while they were there and they did a great job when they went out. Let them know I love what they did.”
He continued, “It’s amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to help people understand that there is a God.”

In 2011, Snoop Dogg made a joke about Trump running for president one day after Barack Obama’s term, saying, “Why not?” It wouldn’t be the first time you’ve pushed a black family out of their home.”
Snoop has had a somewhat fraught public relationship with the former president. He has shouted “f**k Trump” several times and even parodied his assassination.
In January 2019, the Doggfather posted a video to his Instagram urging government workers not to vote for Trump because “he doesn’t care about you guys.”
He also used the profanity-drenched message to directly attack Trump and his supporters, saying: “F*** him too, and f*** everyone with Donald Trump.”
Wearing a blue hat with the slogan Make America Snow Again on the front — a play on Trump’s election slogan and the Jeezy song Snow Season — he says, “I just want to say this real quick about the political s***.
“All the people in the federal government who aren’t getting paid right now, there’s no way in the world they’re going to vote for Donald Trump when he comes back up.
“If you vote for him, you stupid bastards, I’ll tell you early.”
Something of a fortune-teller, Trump has run for president again – and with his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, the chances of him getting on the Republican ticket are becoming increasingly likely.
In September 2018, Snoop made his feelings known during a podcast interview, saying a big “f*** you” to Donald Trump and a “f*** you” to his supporter Kanye West.
Snoop said of Kanye, “You should know that a lot of your fans are racist. There’s no damn way around it.
“I tell them straight muthaf****. If you love that n**** (Trump), you’re a racist. Fuck you and fuck him. What now?’ said the rapper.
‘N**** he drew the lines. He drew the muthaf***** lines. There were no lines before him,” Snoop continued.
In March 2017, Snoop Dogg parodied a presidential assassination in his new music video for his album Lavender.
In the climactic scene, the rapper pulls out a fake gun and points it at a clown-like President Donald Trump character with a painted orange face.
The clip focused on current events of the time, including a parody version of Trump named Ronald Klump.
In November 2017, Snoop Dogg also hinted at the assassination of Donald Trump for the second time that year.
The rapper posted an image of the cover of his latest album, Make America Crip Again, to his Instagram account.
The image showed Snoop Dogg standing over a corpse covered in an American flag.
The body had a toe tag that read “Trump.”
Snoop said at the time, “I feel like a lot of people are making cool records, having fun and partying, but no one is dealing with the real problem with this damn clown as president, and the shit that we’re dealing with. here, so I wanted to take a moment to put a party record on pause and make one of these records for now.”
