Snoop Dogg has responded after being widely criticised for performing at Donald Trump's inaugural Crypto Ball.

The rapper headlined the event on Friday, in front of a mix of celebrities and politicians.

The event was organised to show the President-Elect's support for cryptocurrency and to confirm his pledge to integrate bitcoin into the country's financial systems.

Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, performed Nuthin' but a G Thang at the party. After posting a clip of his performance on Instagram, he was slammed by his fans.

"This is culturally embarrassing and disrespectful as f**k," one person wrote.

"Even Snoop Dogg bent knee to Donald Trump. Never thought I'd see that," wrote another.

The rapper has since responded to the criticism by re-posting a video by fellow performer at the event, Rick Ross.

In the video, Snoop says, "Got a real Crip up in the Crypto Ball, bang bang," before showing a peace sign and smiling at the camera.

The 53-year-old rapper has previously mocked Donald Trump.

In 2017, he released a video for his song Lavender, which showed him aiming a gun at a clown dressed like Trump. He pulled the trigger to reveal a red flag with the word BANG. Trump responded to the clip by saying Snoop should be arrested.

However, last year, the rapper praised the incoming President, claiming he "has done only great things" for him.
