Snoop Dogg has addressed “all the hate” he received for performing during President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Ball.

On Sunday, the rapper, 53, shared a video on Instagram where he addressed the criticism he received after his appearance.

“For all the hate, I’m going to answer with love,” said Snoop in the video as he sat in his car and took a hit from what appeared to be a blunt. “Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I’m cool. I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100% Black. All out ’til you ball out or ’til you fall out.”

On Saturday, Jan. 25, the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” performer also opened up about dealing with the backlash following the performance on R&B Money Podcast.

“You ‘gon deal with hate when you get to the top, no matter who you are… Me, personally, I answer it with success and love. That’s my answer to any hate and negativity that comes my way, ’cause it’s the strongest force that can beat it,” he said.

Snoop performed at the Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 17. Also in attendance were Rick Ross and Soulja Boy. Additionally, Nelly played at the Liberty Ball on Monday, Jan. 20.

Back in September 2018, the “Sweat” rapper spoke out against Kanye West and everyone who supported Trump, 78.

While appearing on DJ Suss One’s SiriusXM show, Snoop got very heated when the DJ suggested some of his fans were Trump supporters.

“I tell them straight up motherf———,” the rapper said to the host, imploring him to make it clear to his fans they are racist. “If you like that n——, you motherf——— racist. F— you, and f— him.”

Snoop then explained that the President “drew the lines,” causing tension between people of different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.

“Before him, there were no lines. Everybody was everybody, we respected everything; we didn’t trip,” he said. “But n——, when you drew the line, n—— started pointing mother——— out… f—— you n——.”

Snoop then criticized West for publicly supporting Trump.

“Kanye too, n—, don’t forget about him too,” he said. “F— him too. I’m going throw him in the bag too because he right with them motherf———.”
