Snoop Dogg shocked everyone with his positive comments about Donald Trump. The rapper had publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Trump’s presidency several years ago. However, his sudden change in feelings towards the former president was not what many expected.
The Sunday Times published an interview with the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” hitmaker on Sunday, January 28, in which Snoop mentioned Trump, telling British media: Told.
“Donald Trump? He hasn’t done me anything bad. He’s done nothing but great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris.”
he added:
“So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”
Michael Harris co-founded Death Row Records, the record label where Snoop released his debut album in 1993, along with Dr. Dre and Suge Knight.
Harris was arrested in 1988 on charges of drug trafficking, conspiracy and attempted murder, and was convicted in 1990. However, he founded several nonprofit organizations for poor youth and revived the San Quentin News, a newspaper edited by inmates at San Quentin State Prison. . Michael Harris served 30 years in prison before being pardoned by Donald Trump in January 2021.
Snoop Dogg’s U-turn in attitude towards Trump sparked a fierce reaction from netizens. One X user commented on his Collin Rugg post about the same thing.

In contrast to his recent statements about the former US president, Snoop Dogg told his followers in 2016 that he was moving to Canada because of Donald Trump. In 2017, he mocked President Trump in his music video for “Lavender” by featuring a character named Ronald Crump dressed as the former president. Crump was also shown pointing a gun at a clown resembling the then-Commander-in-Chief.
Donald Trump also clapped back when the rapper posted on Twitter (now X).
In November 2017, the rapper took his disapproval of Donald Trump a step further by releasing the cover art for his extended play Make America Clip Again, which features a corpse labeled “Trump.”
In a radio interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood in June 2020, Snoop criticized Trump again. He said of casting his first vote in the 2020 presidential election because he doesn’t want Donald Trump to take office.
“It’s not like I’ve never voted a day in my life, but I’m going to vote this year because I can’t bear to see this bastard in power for another year.”
Many netizens were surprised that Snoop Dogg completely changed his attitude towards Donald Trump after disrespecting him so much. While many Trump supporters supported the rapper for changing his mind, others criticized him for jumping from one opinion to another.
But this isn’t the first time Snoop Dogg has made positive comments about Trump. When President Trump pardoned Harris in 2021, the rapper told the New York Post:
“I love what they’ve done. Great job for the outgoing president and his team.”
It’s unclear how long Snoop’s current opinion of Trump will last, but several Trump supporters are happy that Snoop and many other rappers are acknowledging the former president’s potential.
