Musicians have been showing their support for Donald Trump as the inauguration approaches. Village People and Carrie Underwood were recently announced as performers at the event, and on Friday (Jan. 17) Snoop Dogg surprised fans by playing the President Elect's Crypto Ball.

In Washington DC, the Crypto Ball was hosted by Trump’s AI and crypto czar David Sacks. In 2017 Snoop called those would perform at Trump's first inauguration "Uncle Tom-ass n****s" and said people who voted for Trump were "stupid motherfuckers." The same year he released a music video for "Lavender (Nightfall Remix)" in which he pointed a gun at a clown dressed as Trump. But by 2021 he had changed his tune and said he had "nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump."

Meanwhile, Rod Wave, Kodak Black, and Fivio Foreign are on the guestlist for inaugural events, per NBC. See clips from the Crypto Ball below, if you want.
