Rapper Snoop Dogg appears to be changing his tune on former President Donald Trump.
Weeks after shocking the world with his satirical quip that he was going to “quit smoking” last November, the 52-year-old rapper made waves in a recent interview when asked about the 45th president.
“Donald Trump? He didn’t do anything wrong to me,” Snoop told the Sunday Times. “He just did great things for me. He forgave Michael Harris.”
“I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”
During the waning days of his administration, Trump granted a pardon to Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry O” Harris, who had been convicted of attempted murder in the kidnapping.
Snoop has previously taken a harder line against Trump, urging his fans in 2019 to vote against him.
“I just want to say this real quick,” Snoop pleaded with his fans social media at that time. “There’s no way you guys can vote for Donald Trump when he gets back up.”
“And this punk … doesn’t care. Don’t vote for that n—, please don’t. Look what he did. He just doesn’t give an af—.”

In 2017, the rapper dropped a video for “Lavender” in which he mocked the portrayal of “Ronald Klump.”
“Can you imagine what the outcry would have been if @SnoopDogg, failed career and all, had taken aim and fired a gun at President Obama? Jail time!” Trump fired back at the time Twitter, now known as X.
The West Coast rapper also called him a “racist king clown president.”
Even before Trump first took office, Snoop headlined a Comedy Central roast of Trump in 2011.
“Why not? It’s not the first time you’ve pushed a black family out of their house,” the rapper joked during a grilling about Trump’s complaints about running for president at the time.

Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., Snoop previously softened his stance on Trump after pardoning Harris.
“That’s a good job for the president and his team on the way out. They did some great work while they were there and they did some great work when they got out. Tell them that I like what they are doing,” he said in a statement shared with The Post in 2021.

“It’s amazing what God’s work can really bring to life to make people understand that there is a God.”
Trump is an unusual Republican front-runner for the presidency.
