The "Doggfather’s" performance comes as a bit of a shock to many hip-hop observers, the rapper has had a ruff history with Trump and his supporters. Snoop Dogg was seen pointing a gun at a clown dressed as the president-elect in the 2017 music video for the song "Lavender" by the Canadian group BADBADNOTGOOD.

Despite publicly vowing to “roast” anyone who endorsed Trump during his previous administration, the rapper topped the bill at a Washington D.C. event honoring the president-elect.

During the November 2024 election, Kamala Harris counted on the backing of everyone from Barbara Streisand, Spike Lee, Mark Hamill, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cardi B and Charli XCX, to Lil Nas X, Kerry Washington, Mark Ruffalo, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Shonda Rhimes.
