D.L. Hughley Slams Snoop Dogg’s Response to Inauguration Set Backlash: ‘People … Dislike What You Did’
D.L. Hughley has fired back at Snoop Dogg with some choice words following the rap legend’s response to the backlash he’s received following his performance at the Crypto Ball at Donald Trump’s inauguration earlier this month.
The comedian was brutally honest while condemning Snoop on Tuesday’s (Jan. 28) episode of The D.L. Hughley Show, during which he dug into how the 2017 version of Snoop is really the one at odds with the 2025 edition, and it’s time for the Doggfather to look in the mirror.

“The very person who you perform for is doing just that: tearing this country apart, families apart. He’s dismantling DEI and affirmative action and long-set precedents,” Hughley said. “And every time somebody gets into a situation of their own doing, it is always ‘a communal attack’ or ‘a community’s attack.’ I mean, no. People love you, but they dislike what you did. And there’s nothing more loving than that.”
He continued: “It isn’t us you have a problem with — it is you. The 2025 version of you is at odds with the 2017 version of you. So it ain’t the us that gotta get it together, it’s you. You need to have a conversation with the man in the mirror. What is so different about the 2017 Snoop and the 2025 Snoop? It ain’t us, we ain’t in it.”
Snoop brushed off the haters over the weekend in an Instagram post in which he essentially told the fans chastising his performance to touch grass and worry about their own lives.
“It’s Sunday I got gospel in my heart,” he said in a video posted to his Instagram. “For all the hate I’m going to answer with love, I love too much.”
He added: “Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I’m cool. I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100 percent Black. All out ’til you ball out or ’til you fall out.”
It wasn’t only Snoop representing hip-hop at the inauguration, as Rick Ross and Soulja Boy also pulled up to the Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C., while Nelly performed at the Liberty Ball on Jan. 20.
