“Trump has only done good things for me.”
Public criticism of Trump since 2016
Praise for pardon of Michael Harris
Famous American rapper Snoop Dogg said he “loves and respects” former U.S. President Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate. He changed his attitude from strongly criticizing former President Trump over the past several years.
According to The Hill, a media outlet specializing in the U.S. Congress, on the 29th (local time), Snoop Dogg said in an interview with London’s ‘Sunday Times’ last weekend, “(Trump) has not done anything wrong to me,” and “He has only done good things for me.” .
He mentioned the fact that former President Trump pardoned Michael Harris, the founder of the American hip-hop label Death Row Records, to which he belonged. He added, “I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”
Harris was convicted of attempted murder and served about 30 years in prison before being pardoned by former President Trump in 2021. A few weeks later, Snoop Dogg expressed gratitude to former President Trump for pardoning Harris.
Snoop Dogg has consistently criticized former President Trump in the past.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, an American music media outlet, in 2016, he swore at former President Trump and fiercely criticized him, saying, “How can such a reckless person run the country?”
The following year, in 2017, controversy arose when he shared an album cover showing himself standing over the body of former President Trump on social media.
In 2018, he strongly criticized fellow rapper Kanye West for publicly supporting former President Trump. When he visited the White House that same year, he even smoked outside the building.
In addition, he was controversial in the past when he produced a scene in his music video where he shot a clown dressed as Trump.
This is the first time Snoop Dogg has publicly shown a friendly attitude toward former President Trump since expressing gratitude for Harris’ pardon.
