After facing backlash for performing at President Donald Trump’s inaugural festivities, artists like Snoop Dogg and Nelly are defending their decision.

Co-hosts of "The View" had an intense debate about whether Black artists like Snoop Dogg should be judged for performing at President Donald Trump's inauguration.

The Missionary rapper wasn’t alone in receiving vitriol. Nelly, Rick Ross, and Soulja Boy also performed for Donald Trump over the weekend at his Crypto Ball (Jan. 17). This isn’t the first instance of rappers aligning themselves with the two-time President, and it likely won’t be the last.
