Snoop Dogg Breaks His Silence: “I Represent the Gangster Party. Period.”
Snoop Dogg is finally addressing the drama around his 30-minute DJ set at the Crypto Ball, held during Donald Trump’s inauguration weekend—and he’s keeping it all the way real.
In a recent sit-down with The Breakfast Club, the hip-hop icon shut down the noise and reminded folks that his legacy ain’t up for debate.
“I DJed at the Crypto Ball for what, 30 minutes… made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help the inner city and teach financial literacy,” Snoop explained. “That’s 30 minutes. I’ve been doing great things for the community for 30 years. So which one is it? 30 for 30?”
Snoop was crystal clear—his appearance wasn’t political, it was business. And more importantly, it was about building bridges and opportunities, not co-signing Trump.
“I don’t represent the Republican Party. I don’t represent the Democratic Party. I represent the gangster party. Period.”
Snoop Says Online Critics Backtracked Fast: “Don’t Come For Me If You Don’t Know Me”
You already know, internet trolls love to talk tough until they get called out. Snoop shared how folks had a lot to say online, but switched up quick when he pressed them.
“I would jump right in their DMs with a video like, ‘You b**** a**, what you wanna do?’ And they’d be like, ‘Oh man, I’m just a fan,’” he revealed. “Don’t come for me if you don’t know me.”
He stood 10 toes down, making it known that he’s not for the foolishness. What folks should be paying attention to is his track record—not just a performance.
“Crypto Play for the Hood”: Snoop Clarifies His Intentions
Snoop also dropped some behind-the-scenes tea. The booking wasn’t some political endorsement—it was a money move made through his longtime business partner David Sacks.
“It was a crypto play meant to bring resources back to the hood,” he said. “That was the mission.”
He stayed focused on his long game—elevating the community, spreading knowledge on financial literacy, and making sure folks in the inner city got access to opportunities they’re often excluded from.
Support From the Culture: Charlamagne, Ross, Soulja & More Back Snoop
When the heat started coming, Snoop wasn’t standing alone. Big names in the culture—like Charlamagne Tha God, Stephen A. Smith, Rick Ross, Soulja Boy, and Nelly—stepped up with loud support.
Charlamagne especially didn’t hold back, calling out the hypocrisy in how artists get blasted for events while politicians laugh it up with Trump on the regular.
This outpouring proved one thing: real recognizes real. And Snoop has put in too many years of community work for one show to define him.
Legacy Over Optics: “My Work Should Speak for Me”
Snoop wrapped his response with a powerful message. It’s not about one event—it’s about decades of dedication.
“My work should speak for me. Don’t take my business decisions and try to involve them in who I am as a person. Look at what I’ve done in real life—that should matter more.”
And he’s not wrong. From schools to social justice to youth empowerment, Snoop has been giving back for decades. Critics might try to drag him, but his receipts speak volumes.
