In Donald Trump‘s eyes, Snoop Dogg‘s career may be ‘failing’ but in real-life, not so much.
The West Coast rap veteran has caused much debate over his politically charged video for Badbadnotgood‘s ‘Lavender.’
While Snoop Dogg has taken to Instagram to let the world know he’s ‘got nothing to say,’ see who’s come to Snoop’s defence below.
First it was his prodigy, Bow Wow
In a now-deleted tweet, the rapper and actor came to his ‘uncle’s’ defence, despite drawing major criticism from both Trump supporters and social media spectators alike.
‘Ayo @realDonaldTrump shut your punk ass up talking shit about my uncle @SnoopDogg before we pimp your wife and make her work for us,’ he tweeted.

T.I.
Tip went all the way in on the Commander-in-Chief, dropping expletive after expletive in his tirade against Trump for coming at Snoop.
Ice-T and Treach
In a joint interview with TMZ Live, the MCs weighed in on the ‘artistic’ video and expressed how they sided with Snoop despite the gun scene.
‘And it was a confetti gun,’ Treach said. ‘Anybody got shot, confetti came out. It was artistic.’ He later adds, ‘I don’t think it was threatening neither.’
‘I was nervous,’ Ice-T then admitted. ‘He’s messing with the line. We’ll see how this weighs out, but I roll with Snoop. I thought it was a good video.’
Common
And In a run-in with TMZ, Common emphasised the freedom of expression in hip hop.
‘Hip-hop always been about freedom of expression, that’s one of the most powerful things,’ he said.
‘Hip-hop has been like a voice for so many people… If you go think about the days of Public Enemy and you fast-forward to Kendrick Lamar, hip-hop artists have always been speaking up and saying what they feel… if it’s a president they don’t like, if it’s a politician they don’t like… if you didn’t like what was going on you speak up and we’re entitled to do that as people.’
