Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Snoop Dogg faced backlash from fans after performing at the "Crypto Ball," a black-tie event celebrating Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration.

Snoop, who once criticized Trump in his music and public statements, praised him in 2024 and performed his hit "Nuthin’ but a G Thang" at the $2,500-$5,000 per ticket event hosted by tech moguls.

Fans labeled the performance "embarrassing" and "disrespectful," citing his past anti-Trump sentiments, including a music video and song that mocked Trump during his first term.

Lol Snoop Dogg has been a doggie dog sellout for a very long doggie dog time. The dude that rapped on Deep Cover, the Chronic, and Doggystyle might as well be a completely different dude altogether from the asshat pushing cell phones and making TV appearances with Martha Stewart. The same applies for Ice Cube.

Don't forget when he was pushing the Bored Ape NFTs. He apparently will do anything for money.

I'm sure this 100% about Snoop's crypto interests with Captain "money laundering" Trump about to put someone in charge of picking what the whole crypto scene looks like.

Snoop Dogg has been active in the non-fungible token (NFT) space, mostly in 2021 when he purchased a handful of NFTs. Snoop Dogg spent 4,185.5 Ethereum (ETH) tokens in 2021 on five NFTs:

  • "Right-click and Save As Guy" for 1,600 ETH in December 2021
  • "Some Asshole" for 1,300 ETH in September 2021
  • "CryptoPunk #3831" for 850 ETH in July 2021
  • "Destiny" for 225 ETH in October 2021
  • "Fidenza #351" for 210.5 ETH in September 2021

Snoop Dogg likely spent around $15 million to acquire the NFTs. The collection is currently worth between $5 million and $10 million.

Snoop Dogg created his own NFT project in 2022. Called "Snoop's Stash Box," the project sold around 9,000 NFTs for $5,000 each, allowing the rapper to bring in $45 million in less than a week.

Why are we shocked? His whole party is full of hypocrites, liars, turncoats, and felons. What's one more?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm pretty sure the outcry isn't about him hosting Snoop...

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)
