Rapper Snoop Dog had a recent change of tune on Donald Trump, a sharp contrast to his past remarks attacking the former president.
Snoop Dogg praised Trump in a recent interview.
“Donald Trump?…. He ain’t done nothing wrong to me,” Snoop Dogg told The Sunday Times.
“He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris,” he said.
“So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”

Wow.
The comments came during an interview with The Times.
“Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me.”

Michael “Harry-O” Harris, an associate of Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight, was pardoned by Trump in 2021 before he left office.
The label signed Snoop Dogg, but he left later in his career.
Harris was jailed after being charged with conspiracy and attempted murder for over three decades.
Snoop Dogg praised Trump at the time for his commutation of Harris.
“I love what they did,” the rapper told the New York Post.
“That’s great work for the president and his team on the way out.”
However, the rapper repeatedly condemned Trump and his supporters throughout the former president’s four year term.
In a controversial 207 music video for his song “Lavender,” Snoop Dogg depicted Trump as a clown and shot the president in the head.
Trump responded to Snoop Dogg’s video on social media:
“Can you imagine what the outcry would be if (Snoop Dogg), failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!” Trump wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Later in 2020, XXL Magazine shared a video clip of Snoop Dogg ripping Trump and his followers, saying:
“Donald Trump is a f—ing weirdo. If you voted for him, I don’t have no problem with that. But if you’re still with him, f— you.”
In the same year, Snoop Dogg said during an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Real 92.3 that he no longer wanted Trump in office.
“I ain’t never voted a day in my life, but this year I think I’m going to get out and vote because I can’t stand to see this punk in office one more year,” Snoop Dogg said.
The rapper has since remained coy when asked if he will declare support for a candidate for 2024.
“I may have to,” Snoop Dogg said.
“Because there are mixed views on that, so I want to see what the people say.”
