As Donald Trump prepares for his upcoming presidential inauguration, speculation is swirling online about whether rapper Snoop Dogg will be among the performers. The inauguration lineup already includes prominent artists such as Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, The Village People, Billy Ray Cyrus, Christopher Macchio, and Lee Greenwood. However, neither Snoop Dogg nor Trump’s team has confirmed the rapper’s involvement at the event.
Rumors and Speculation
The confusion surrounding Snoop Dogg’s potential appearance began with a report by Politico, which suggested that the rapper might perform at the inaugural Crypto Ball on Friday night. The news quickly sparked debate across social media platforms:
“Did I just hear that right? Snoop Dogg is going to perform at the inauguration?” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter).
“Snoop Dogg to perform at the Inauguration?!! That’s all we need – a Satanic worshipping, Baphomet-wearing disgrace! PLEASE rescind this invitation!” another commented.
A third user remarked, “Snoop Dogg and Kid Rock are gonna play at the inauguration!!! This is so not the old GOP.”

Snoop Dogg and Trump’s Relationship
The speculation is particularly surprising given the tumultuous history between Snoop Dogg and Donald Trump. In 2017, the rapper released a controversial music video in which he pointed a toy gun at a clown dressed as Trump. The video drew sharp criticism from Trump, who called for Snoop Dogg’s arrest.
Snoop Dogg later released the track “Make America Crip Again”, a play on Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan, further emphasizing his disdain for the former president.
However, in a surprising turn of events, Snoop Dogg softened his tone toward Trump in recent years. In an interview, he said, “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me.” This comment has fueled further curiosity about whether Snoop Dogg might perform at the event despite their past differences.
