Snoop Dogg and others face heat for performing at Trump's pre-inauguration ball
Briefly

Snoop Dogg faced backlash for performing at Trump's pre-inauguration event, having previously criticized such performances as 'Uncle Toms' during Trump's 2017 inauguration.
Soulja Boy defended his performance decision, stating simply, 'they paid me a bag,' highlighting the financial incentive for artists regardless of political stances.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar supported the artists, noting that the real criticism should be towards the politicians who changed their tunes after years of opposition to Trump.
Nelly, another performer, emphasized that he is performing for the office rather than taking a political stance, indicating a focus on the role rather than the individual.
