Snoop Dogg Pulls A Fake Gun On A Donald Trump Clown Look-Alike In His New Music Video

Daily Mail- Snoop Dogg parodies a presidential assassination in his new music video for Lavender. In the climactic scene the rapper takes out a fake gun and points it towards a clown-like president Donald Trump character with painted orange face. The clip, which dropped Sunday and is co-directed by Jesse Wellens and James DeFina, focuses on current events including a parody version of Trump named Ronald Klump.

The message was clear from the musician as he spoke to Billboard about his thoughts on the president. Snoop said: ‘I feel like it’s a lot of people making cool records, having fun, partying, but nobody’s dealing with the real issue with this f**king clown as president, and the sh** that we dealing with out here, so I wanted to take time out to push pause on a party record and make one of these records for the time being.’

The 45-year-old artist explained what motivated him when he was writing the track. ‘Making a song that was not controversial but real — real to the voice of the people who don’t have a voice. It’s not like [Jesse] told me to make a record to express what I’m expressing on the song, but there were certain things that he said that brought that feeling, to make me want to express that when I was writing.’ But the hip hop star said he’s not looking for any kind of reaction for the video. ‘When I be putting sh** out, I don’t ever expect or look for a reaction. I just put it out because I feel like it’s something that’s missing. Any time I drop something, I’m trying to fill in a void.’

Damn, I gotta admit that I did not see this coming from Snoop. I thought Snoop was happily settled into being the cartoon character that done smoked himself silly and would comically weigh in on current events on Jimmy Kimmel or Martha Stewart just by being Snoop Dogg. Instead Snoop gave us a heavy, politically charged music video from the guy we weren’t sure was a Dogg or a Lion a few years ago. Wild times indeed. I’m also still not sure how pulling on gun or fake shooting a parody of the President works, but I think using the old Bang gun trick like Bugs Bunny is a comedic license that automatically absolves you from any wrongdoing. (Here’s the Wikipedia link of Bugs Bunny for any young kids that don’t know who Bugs Bunny is).

And shout out to friend of the Stool Michael Rapaport for adding another credit to his IMDB page. Can’t wait to see how Big Cat and PFT fuck with him for this one.
