@djsussone/YouTubeNever one to stay quiet on an issue, Snoop Dogg has spoken out against Donald Trump and Kanye West during a recent radio interview.
The 46-year-old rapper was talking to DJ Suss One on Hip-Hop Nation, when the host brought up the topic of Trump, warning Snoop a lot of the DJ’s listeners don’t like it when ‘talks bad’ about the president.
Snoop simply replied:
Well you need to know that a lot of your fans is racist. Ain’t no f*cking way around it.
GettyThe rapper went on to imply, since Trump became president in January 2017, racism has become a bigger issue than it was before.
He said:
[Trump] drew the lines. He drew the motherf*cking lines. Before him there were no lines. Everybody was everybody, we respected every thing, we didn’t trip.
Snoop then brought Kanye into the converstaion, saying ‘Kanye too, don’t forget about him too […] Throw him in the bad, ’cause he right there with the motherf*cker.’
You can watch the highly explicit rant below:
In the past, Kanye has expressed how, though he didn’t actually vote, he would’ve voted for Trump in the election. He’s also worn a cap bearing Trump’s infamous ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan.
Mr Snoop’s disdain for the president has been well known since calling him a ‘f*cking clown’ and releasing a video last year depicting the rapper shooting someone dressed as Trump in the head for his track Lavender.
Trump responded at the time:
Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!

Snoop spoke to Billboard about the track and video, saying:
When I be putting sh*t out, I don’t ever expect or look for a reaction. I just put it out because I feel like it’s something that’s missing. Any time I drop something, I’m trying to fill in a void.
I feel like it’s a lot of people making cool records, having fun, partying, but nobody’s dealing with the real issue with this f*cking clown as president, and the sh*t that we dealing with out here, so I wanted to take time out to push pause on a party record and make one of these records for the time being.
Say how you really feel Snoop!
