Rapper Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus Jr., has said he now has “nothing but love” for former U.S. President Donald J. Trump.
[…] “So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” Snoop continued, before adding “I may have to,” when asked about making an endorsement in the 2024 election. “Because there are mixed views on that, so I want to see what the people say…” he hedged.
In 2017, the rapper released a music video for his song Lavender that depicted him pointing a toy gun at a clown-like caricature of Trump, inciting backlash from Trump and his lawyers.
“Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama?” Trump tweeted at the time, concluding, “Jail time!”
