Snoop Doggis once again explaining his decision to perform at an inauguration event forDonald Trump.

If you recall, in January, Snoopperformedat a Crypto Ball, hosted by Trump’s crypto czar David Sacks, to celebrate the incoming administration. He received immediate backlash, with tons of fans calling him out on social media and thousands reportedlyunfollowinghim.

At the time, Snoop briefly addressed the backlash in an Instagramvideo, saying people needed to “stop worrying” about him, and he further addressed the backlash this week onThe Breakfast Club.

When asked if he was bothered by the criticism he received, Snoop said no, because, to him, he did it for a good cause. “I DJed at the Crypto Ball for what, 30 minutes?” he said. “Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help out the inner city and the community, and teach financial literacy and crypto in a space that it don’t exist. That’s 30 minutes. [For] 30 years, Snoop Dogg been doing great things for the community, building, showing up, standing up for the people, making it happen, being all I can be.”

He also clarified that he didn’t endorse Trump. “Even if I would have done it for him and hung out with him and took a picture with him, can’t none of you motherfuckers tell me what I can and can’t do,” he continued. “But I’m not a politician. I don’t represent the Republican Party. I don’t represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherfucking Gangster Party period point blank, and G shit we don’t explain shit so that’s why I didn’t explain. That’s why I didn’t go into detail when motherfuckers was trying to cancel me and say he a sellout.”

Snoop said, “The things that I do in real life should matter to you more, not what I do when I’m DJing or making music or doing this and that.” He added that the question should be, “What is he like as a real person?”
