Snoop Dogg Won’t Respond To Trump Following ‘Lavender’ Video

If you’re waiting for Snoop Dogg to respond to President Donald Trump, you’re going to have to wait longer. After the commander-in-chief commented on the rapper’s “Lavender” music video with a tweet, Snoop took to Instagram to fire back.

“They all want to ask me questions and interview me but guess what, I’ve got nothing to say mate,” the rapper said in a short video posted to Instagram. Snoop Dogg’s latest comments, or lack thereof, echo what he previously told Billboard.

According to the “Gin and Juice” rapper, he wasn’t looking for a reaction when he filmed the music video. “I just put it out because I feel like it’s something that’s missing. Anytime I drop something, I’m trying to fill in a void,” Snoop said.

Released on March 12, the video for “Lavender” features Snoop Dogg pointing a fake gun at a parody of Trump. The man, wearing a suit similar to the president, sports clown makeup and can be seen holding his hands up, as the rapper points the gun in his direction.

While Snoop has had the support of other rappers such as Common, Ice-T and T.I., politicians have had different opinions. On Wednesday, Trump tweeted, “Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!”

Senator Marco Rubio, a noted hip-hop fan, was also less enthusiastic about the music video, saying, “Snoop shouldn’t of done that. We’ve had presidents assassinated before in the country so anything like that is really something we should be really careful about.”

Although many republicans are not enjoying the video, it has proven to be successful for Snoop Dogg and the PrankvsPrank YouTube account it was uploaded to, surpassing 4 million views in four days.
