In a heated exchange that highlights the tensions within the Black community regarding celebrity actions, comedian DL Hughley has once again called out rapper Snoop Dogg for his recent performance at a pre-inaugural event for Donald Trump. The performance has stirred significant backlash, prompting Snoop to respond with an assertion of self-love and a critique of his critics.

During a video shared on social media, Snoop Dogg addressed the criticism he faced after performing for Trump at his inaugural crypto ball. He emphasized that he chooses to respond to hate with love, stating, “Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I’m cool, I’m together; still a Black man, still 100% Black.” He urged the community to uplift one another rather than engage in self-destructive behavior.

However, Hughley, known for his sharp critique and social commentary, took a different stance on his radio show. He expressed disappointment rather than anger, questioning Snoop’s decision to perform for a figure many in the Black community view as detrimental. Hughley highlighted that the anger from the community is rooted in disappointment and a sense of betrayal rather than an inability to stick together. He pointed out that the majority of Black voters opposed Trump, which contradicts Snoop’s claims that the community fails to unite.

The comedian emphasized, “It isn’t us who are tearing down affirmative action; it is not us who is tearing down DEI. It is not us who are tearing families apart.” He argued that Snoop’s assertion overlooks the realities of systemic issues that the Black community faces and the unity shown through collective voting patterns against Trump.

Snoop’s participation in the event has drawn scrutiny not only due to his past criticisms of Trump but also because it contrasts sharply with his previous statements during Trump’s first campaign. Hughley noted that the current version of Snoop appears to be at odds with the stance he took in 2017.

Snoop Dogg was not the only artist to perform at the event; he was joined by fellow rappers Soulja Boy, Rick Ross, and Nelly, all of whom faced similar criticism. However, Snoop’s history with Trump makes his participation particularly notable. Hughley concluded his remarks, emphasizing that the real issue lies within Snoop himself, stating, “It’s not us who you have a problem with; it’s you.”

As the discourse continues, it raises important questions about accountability, unity, and the influence of celebrity actions on community perceptions. The exchange between Hughley and Snoop reflects a broader conversation about the responsibilities of public figures and their impact on societal issues.
