Snoop Dogg’s Donald Trump Disses Virtually Stored Harry-O In Jail

Donald Trump’s beef with Snoop Dogg almost prevented Michael “Harry-O” Harris from receiving a presidential pardon. In line with Rolling Stone, Trump threatened to not commute the Loss of life Row Information co-founder’s jail sentence because of Snoop’s previous insults.

Snoop quietly campaigned for Harris’ commutation within the ultimate days of Trump’s presidency. Trump’s aides reportedly inspired him to take away Harris’ title from the listing of prisoners receiving pardons to punish Snoop. The aides cited a paragraph from a 2021 Each day Beast article, which recounted Snoop dissing the previous president.

“’I don’t give a f###, I inform ’em straight up, m###########: In case you like that n####, you m###########’ racist,’ Snoop Dogg mentioned about Trump, his MAGA followers and the president’s pal Kanye West in 2018,” the paragraph in query learn. “’F### you and f### him. Now what?’ In March 2017, Trump had tweeted, ‘Are you able to think about what the outcry could be if @SnoopDogg, failing profession and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!’ (Trump was referring to a music video — wherein Snoop goals a toy gun at a clown who appears to be like just like the forty fifth U.S. president — that had clearly gotten the chief of the free world labored up.)”

Weldon Angelos, an activist who labored on securing Harris’ pardon, confirmed the article created points.

“I used to be conscious that the [Daily Beast] article precipitated an issue for Mr. Harris’ clemency petition, and I used to be requested by somebody near the White Home to ship a clip of a beforehand recorded message from Snoop the place he recommended Trump’s efforts on felony justice reform,” Angelos advised Rolling Stone. “The marketing campaign to free Harry-O was recorded for documentary functions.”

Trump modified his thoughts after viewing the documentary footage as he reportedly believed Snoop’s message was honest. Harris, who spent many years in jail following his arrest for tried homicide and drug trafficking, acquired his pardon from Trump earlier than the ex-president left workplace in January 2021.

The dramatic reconsideration seemingly defined Snoop’s current reward of Trump. The favored rapper raised eyebrows when he mentioned he had “nothing however love and respect for Donald Trump” in a 2024 interview with the Sunday Occasions.
