Kevin notes that Snoop wasn't always like this and points out that the rap mogul has been there for his community for a long time. Still, KP says Snoop's decision stand up for Trump spoke volumes … claiming the “Drop It Like It's Hot” rapper abandoned his audience “for a bag of money.”
However, he's not just mad at Snoop… he's also shouting Carrie Underwooda vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights and gun control, e.g Appearance at Trump's swearing-in ceremony.
As with Snoop, he feels that Carrie and other artists who showed up to the POTUS inaugural ceremonies traded in their faith and “embedded themselves” with someone who espouses sexist, homophobic, racist, transphobic and xenophobic values.
He adds… “It means to me that you don't care about the people who have supported you all these years, including people who might be black or queer, etc. All you care about is your own career , your own.” Access and that bag full of money again.
For Kevin, it's a “stab in the back” for fans who have supported her music and career. Last week, Yvette Nicole Brown had a similar feeling on “TMZ Live.”

Singer Bobby Valentino However, he doesn't agree… telling TMZ in a separate interview that an appearance doesn't mean an artist is supporting a politician. At the end of the day, a gig is just a gig!!!
