The rapper’s stance on Trump has softened, and he is a longtime cryptocurrency advocate.

Snoop Dogg is rumored to perform at the Crypto Ball on January 17 in Washington, DC, according to The New York Post, which will be held to celebrate President-elect Donald Trump.

A flyer for the event reads: “In honor of the inauguration of Donald Trump, the first crypto-president.” Trump will be inaugurated on Monday, January 20.

Snoop Dogg has not confirmed his appearance at the event, which costs $2,500 to attend. But Political reporter Daniel Lipman shared news about the rapper’s performance on X.

“SNOOP DOGG SCOOP: Snoop Dogg is expected to perform at the inaugural Crypto Ball on Friday night, three people familiar with the planning said,” Lipman wrote.

The rapper has been an outspoken proponent of cryptocurrency for years. In 2013, he promoted the digital currency by joking that he would accept it as payment for his upcoming album and deliver it via drone.

Snoop’s support for Crypto Ball is not surprising given his longtime advocacy for the technology. But fans may be disappointed by his involvement and change of tune regarding Donald Trump.

The Murder was the case the rapper was once vocal about his disdain for the then-presidential candidate, calling Trump harmful to the black community. In recent years, Snoop has softened his stance, adopt a more conciliatory one approach.
