In a recent interview, Snoop conveyed a shift in sentiment, stating that he now holds "nothing but love and respect" for Trump. The rapper specifically pointed to Trump's pardon of Michael Harris, co-founder of Death Row Records, as a contributing factor to this change in perspective.
From Fox News:
"Donald Trump?…. He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris," Snoop Dogg told The Sunday Times.
"So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump."
Michael "Harry-O" Harris, an associate of Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight and the founder of the label's parent company, Godfather Entertainment, was pardoned in 2021 as one of Trump's final decisions before leaving office. Snoop Dogg was famously signed by the label only to leave later in his career. He acquired it in 2022.
Harris was imprisoned on charges of conspiracy and attempted murder for over three decades. Snoop Dogg praised Trump at the time for his commutation of Harris.
"I love what they did," the rapper told the New York Post. "That's great work for the president and his team on the way out."
