Snoop Dogg has jumped aboard the Trump Train.
The rapper who once made a video that depicted him assassinating former President Donald Trump now says he has“nothing but love and respect” for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
“Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me,” Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus Jr., told The Sunday Times of London in an interview published Sunday.
“So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” he added.

Snoop told the outlet that he had changed his tune on Trump because the former president pardoned Michael Harris, the co-founder of the rapper’s first record label, Death Row Records.
Breitbart News reported in January 2021 that Trump granted clemency to Harris, who was doing time at the Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution in California.
Harris was one of more than 100 pardons Trump handed down as he left office. The rap mogul was set to be released in 2028 after being convicted more than 30 years earlier of attempted murder and cocaine trafficking charges.
Snoop’s reversal is one of few to come out of the entertainment industry.
After that video, Trump questioned what would happen if the same were done to his predecessor.

“Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President [Barack] Obama? Jail time!” Trump posted on Twitter at the time.
In addition to a fantasy video about blowing Trump’s head off, Snoop Doog also said on social media in 2017, “Certain people feel like we should make America ‘great again,’ but that time they’re referring to always takes me back to separation and segregation, so I’d rather make America crip again.”
That was a reference to the Crips, the Los Angeles street gang Snoop was affiliated with in his youth.
In 2018, Snoop made a video depicting him outside the White House. While smoking a blunt, he proclaims, “F— the president.”

In 2019, Newsmax reported, Snoop released another video about Trump during a government shutdown.
“When sh– get back on, and y’all get y’all jobs back, and it’s time to vote,” Snoop said, “Don’t vote for that n—er, please don’t.”
