When it comes to politics, Snoop Dogg is not one to shy away from expressing his opinions. In 2017, the rapper made headlines when he released a music video for his song "Lavender" that featured a mock assassination of President Donald Trump. But in a recent interview with radio host Howard Stern, Snoop Dogg had some surprising things to say about the controversial president.
Trump's Response to "Lavender"
When asked about the backlash he received for the "Lavender" video, Snoop Dogg revealed that he received a phone call from none other than President Trump himself. According to Snoop, Trump told him that he was not happy about the video, but the two were able to have a civil conversation about it.
"He was just like, 'I can't believe you did this,'" Snoop recounted. "And I was like, 'I'm sorry, but I had to do it.' We had a conversation afterwards and shook hands and kept it moving."
Trump's Presidency
Despite the controversial video, Snoop Dogg says he does not hate President Trump. In fact, he believes that Trump's presidency has been good for America in some ways.
"I don't hate him, I just don't agree with a lot of the things he be doing," Snoop said. "But he do have some good qualities. He's a good businessman, he knows how to make money."
Trump's Twitter Use
One of the things that Snoop Dogg does not agree with, however, is President Trump's use of Twitter. The rapper believes that Trump's tweets are often divisive and unproductive.
"I think the way he uses Twitter is not a good way to communicate with the people," Snoop said. "He should be more presidential and try to bring people together instead of tearing them apart."
The Importance of Voting
Despite his criticisms of President Trump, Snoop Dogg is a firm believer in the importance of voting. In the interview with Howard Stern, he encouraged all Americans to exercise their right to vote and make their voices heard.
"We have to come together as a country and understand that we have the power to make a change," Snoop said. "If we don't vote, we don't have a say in what happens."
Conclusion
In the end, Snoop Dogg's opinions on President Trump may be surprising to some. While he may not agree with everything Trump does, he believes that it is important to have civil conversations and find common ground. And above all, he believes that every American should exercise their right to vote and have their voices heard.
