Welcome to 2025, Snoop.
Dumb ass ninja saw his dollars disappearing. So now he protects his money train. I’m done with Snoop. He’s an Uncle Tom mother fucker. He can get fucked.
So someone paid him to change his opinion? Not exactly news. Dude is a walking “for sale” sign.
he got paid to say both of the thing. he couldnt care less about gay people.
2025? This doesn’t even get him into the current millennium.
People here give Snoop so much hate yet majority of his music isn’t about being a stand up citizen, it’s always been about getting weed, money and the occasional shorty.
yeah we know his allegiance is to money, he performed at a trump inauguration party
What is a shorty ?
What’s a shorty with you?
Me and that shorty together ? a duet ?
Well, at least he eventually did the right thing in the end. A lot of people in the comments are still roasting him for potential being disingenuous, but I’ll give credit where it’s due - biting people’s heads off after they chose to do the right thing after (well deserved) backlash doesn’t send the correct message to others that it’s worth it to listen to negative feedback rather than dig in their heels deeper.
Welcome to lemmy. Nothing changes, and if something change then it’s false and if it isn’t then it’s too little too late. This site is so bloody hellbent on being downer collective that it’s slowly driving me away.
The end? Is he dead now? Was this some kind of death-bed confession or something? Did he at least donate his time to the cause that he got paid so much to tear down?
Oh, no, he’s just getting paid by someone new now. He doesn’t need credit, he cashed in just fine on MAGA and now he’d also like a check from the gays. The correct message is ‘Working for the nazis leaves a stain on your reputation that a compensated non-apology will not wash away’
Are you by any chance a battered spouse, eager to accept any insincerity?
FUCK SNOOP FOREVER FOR PLAYING TRUMP’S INAUGURATION
Oh he’s not a bigot anymore? Cool thanks for telling us Uncle Tom
he said hes not afradif “LGBTQ+” DOESNT mean hes going to support them or even like them.
The biggest turn off of leftism is the lack of forgiveness/mercy they exhibit
Right, why can’t they be more like MAGAs, who would never weaponize the government to persecute their political enemies? Right, Leticia James or James Comey? (Not Bolton, he deserves it. Not for the reasons Trump is giving, but he’s still such a terrible scumbag, even Republicans hate him).
Don’t like MAGAts* either
What others read when they see your words:
My morals aren’t high enough to be a good person and to vote for the good guys
ok bye then weirdo
Uncle Tom
“Racism is OK when I do it!”…
Uncle Tom is not racism, is an apt description
No, mate. Its racist as fuck. ie “Youre not a real black man, because you do white people things.”. Which is, wait for it, racism.
Call many white guys “Uncle Tom”? Bet you dont, because no one calls white people “race traitor” except for…
Uncle Tom has a different meaning. There are terms like Oreos, or coconut that imply a black person is black on the outside, but white on the inside, as in, they act white, but appear black. I can see how that could be perceived as racist.
Uncle Tom has a specific meaning a black person being overly deferential to, or appeasing white people, as a sellout to their own race. It comes from an old character in a book of a “virtuous” slave. It can also be used for any minority person complicit in their own groups oppression.
You sound MAGA making excuses for why its OK to round up brown people.
The actions of snoop, have nothing whatsoever to do with the colour of skin. You, and all the other racists, are making about his skin in a “no true Scotsman” fashion. Youre the same gaggle of cave brained cunts who bemoaned Carlton not being “black enough” back in the 90s because he liked Tom Jones.
Being a shitty person has NOTHING to do with the colour of someones skin. And if you think it does, well, you know what you are…
Nop, just trying to educate on the terms as you seem to be using them erroneously.
Yes, and what youre doing is trying to justify being racist.
log off, touch grass. No one said any of that because that’s not what it means. You baited yourself into that position and then got angry about it. Go get some fresh air.
You can keep on saying it, but it doesnt make it true. You all jumped on the colour of his skin to attack him. Its actually sad how willing you all are to over it look it, because hes not on your side.
Another one that doesn’t understand the Uncle Tom concept.
I understand it just fine, mr racist.
Of course you do mr Kruger-Dunning
Your education has failed you or you are some kind of troll if you really think what they said was racist

He is a black man sucking up to white people in the worst way, I’m gonna keep my definition and you can keep yours, please don’t attempt to speak to me again, you’re really quite annoying
Its not really that we have differing definitions, mate. If that you see it as fine to be racist, and I dont. There is ZERO reason to bring his skin colour into the conversation. Yet here you all are. Double, and even tripling down on being racist as fuck.
This is the problem with echo chambers. You cant even see when youre being the very thing you hate.
He’s a black man doing the white man’s work for him, that is my definition an uncle Tom, I don’t know why you’re after me bro find bigger problems in life than me. Also how dare you come To me talking about respect when I indicated I did not want to speak with you further, you’re a fucking weird weirdo
He’s a black man doing the white man’s work for him
Fucking yikes, mate.
I didn’t expect that, but good on him and glaad
Still can’t believe he sold his soul to Trump.
A lot of of “old media” celebrities are big into Trump and the right wing these days. I guess it is new things being pushed for by progressives like trans rights and acceptance, even more equality for women, etc make them uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. So they retreat to something that feels safe by comparison.
Well, they both have sex trafficked women. (Snoop claims to have put together and managed a prostitution ring in 2003)
Hes just showing solidarity to a fellow criminal.
he smoked too much weed that made him dumb, and TRUMP loves dumb people: “I love the poorly educated”
I know from first hand experience that weed doesn’t make people support Trump.
Fuck that, stop blaming weed for what money did.
For real! In the first screen of comments here I’ve seen two that mention weed as a bad thing.
Weed is making my day much more comfortable so far, and I am being productive as hell with the things I actually care about. Working on my hobby projects outside while watching the dog I’m dog sitting play with our own dogs. Then in a bit, some more time on the computer here for some LAN game time with my son.
It’s good that it works for you. I have friends with different experience. Weed is not black and white, it’s more complicated.
Oh yeah, that’s true with weed as well as with every other piece of the puzzle I’ve put together over the past several years to find some peace and happiness in life.
I’ve described it as being like we all have different customized user manuals for our brains & bodies, but we don’t get a copy and have to reverse engineer it. Even in my case it’s not simply just “weed good” because some strains won’t even work well for me like my usual ones do.
I’ve had bad experiences too. It’s just very positive on the whole for me because there’s the short-term effect of being essentially a pain reliever, and the long-term benefit of knowing what it’s like to have good days again, and that makes it easier to find my way back to that state even when I’m not using any cannabis for a while.
I hear he sucked Trump’s dick to play at the inauguration.
Many people are saying it
The best people
Everyone says it, Snoop sucked trump’s dick
And then he grabbed him by the pussy.
I don’t buy it tbh.
Trump has some competition for that Nobel peace prize now
From one of the Related Articles :
“I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. All my gay friends [know] what’s up, they been calling me with love,” Snoop Dogg wrote. “My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old 😳. Teach me how to learn I’m not perfect.”
Good on his friends for calling him in.
Whatever his reasons for “going woke”, I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.
Yeah, if we can’t accept people changing their minds, then we will always lose everything every time.
This is exactly what we should be looking for…
Grandad says something bigoted.
Younger people educate grandad.
Grandad publicly acknowledges that he was wrong and gives others an opportunity for others to do the same?
How do you complain about that?
Preach.
When people come around we have to respect it. Some jokes along the way are cool too especially here which is practically offline (small circle of friends).
Hopefully we can all remember a stupid view we once had and if we apply the Lucky 10,000 concept we know that we happened to be challenged on it when we were young. Someone was older when they started to see things more equitably? Welcome to the light side!
this isn’t about love and acceptance. it’s about marketing lmao. snoop said some shit he knew would get him in the headlines and now he’s using that as an opportunity to plug his new TV show. he’s been doing this for decades. maybe lgbt people are tired of their struggles being exploited for a chance to sell eyeballs to advertisers?
Nothing is ever real
he does this shit all the time lol remember snoop lion? remember snoop quitting weed?
Snoop has always been extremely tactical in his decisions and statements. His image is carefully crafted and maintained and i agree with you 100%

Oh how about Uncle Tom playing Trump’s inauguration and this is all a publicity stunt to move passed that noise?
Fuck this bitch ass forever
People really need to cut people some slack. If this is genuine and I feel it is he’s learning. People are allowed to change.
Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.
Nah, trust but verify.
Calvin Broadus is 53 years old and was famous before the turn of century. He didn’t accidentally fall into Trump’s campaign celebrations and he decided on his own to complain about gay people for no reason. If he didn’t expect to catch push back for that then he can demonstrate a change, not just do a cameo and expect everyone to forget AAAALLL the shady shit he’s done over the years.
Judge someone like you got some sense, not like their latest PR campaign is the gospel truth.
So for the Trump thing. He’s rich and has been for decades. He wasn’t always rich. Sometimes we need reminders of where we came from. That’s exceedingly hard when everyone around you is highly likely to echo beliefs that may not resonate with how he was raised
For the LGBT thing… I’m speaking from experience, the black experience is not the white one. Gay is very much not cool even if they say it is.
Speak for yourself, buddy. Being Black and Gay is Cool As Fuck.
The Black Experience is not the white one, but I never said it was, so I’m not sure why you’re telling me what I already know.
Nothing you said suggests that we need to believe the latest press release is sincere. If Calvin wants to change his actions great. I’m just saying don’t get your hopes up about someone who has already blown through several redemption arcs.
I am happy you are in an environment where being black and gay is cool as fuck. That is not the norm and I’d argue lots of statistics back that up.
Regardless, back in the topic I think we both agree just you’re taking a pessimistic approach while I’m trying to be optimistic.
Our lived experiences certainly align and hope is so so important. I understand prime being suspicious, but we’ll have to see. Also, giving room to grow in one area doesn’t mean we think someone is perfect. And no one is perfect, there is always room for work on ourselves.
Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.
A dual edged sword. I would moderate that by saying whether they strive to work toward actualization of that potential, within the means available or presented to them.
That’s exactly it. We can’t know he’s genuine until he’s taken actions we can look at to compare
Amen.
Being black and LGBT is really hard, and if the black community doesn’t cancel him and maybe even listens, this is huge.
Oh come off it. Nobody in “the Black community” is listening to Calvin Broadus.
It’s hella weird to act like “the Black community” needs to learn to be less homophobic from this wack 🥷🏾. I need you to look at the white community making drag shows illegal, burning books about queer people, and firing Black women while you’re at it.
Americans have a problem with homophobia. Stop acting like Black people are singularly homophobic.
Bingo. This is literally playing life on insane difficulty. Anything that can help is a boon.
I just hope for yalls sake that he doesn’t go back on it
If he does it’s rinse and repeat. When it comes to individuals we can never give up on them.
Whatever his reasons for “going woke”, I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.
Yeah, mixed feelings, it’s kind of like when massive corporations go pinkwashing. Sure, it’s better than the alternative, but they’re not your friend and you can’t trust them.
Oh look, misogynist rap dude is an asshole. Big surprise.
a FAKE gangbanger too, acitng “HARD”
This dude will do and say anything to stay relevant for even a second longer. I don’t believe you you bitch ass chihuahua
he couldve stayed relevant longer if he dint shill for trump.
