Snoop Dogg has 'nothing but love' for former President Donald Trump after previous feud

Following their highly publicized feud, Snoop Dogg is extending an olive branch to former President Donald Trump.
The rapper, who had previously been vocal in his disapproval of Trump's presidency, appeared to change his tune in an interview with The Sunday Times published Sunday. "Donald Trump? He ain't done nothing wrong to me," Snoop Dogg told the British outlet. "He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris."
Alongside Suge Knight and Dr. Dre, Harris co-founded the record label Death Row Records in the early '90s, which signed Snoop Dogg for the release of his debut album "Doggystyle" in 1993. Trump commuted Harris' prison sentence in 2021, along with 69 others, after he had served 30 years of a 25-year-to-life sentence for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
"I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump," Snoop Dogg said.
The "Gin and Juice" emcee's praise of Trump is a stark contrast to his previous criticisms of the former president.
In a 2017 music video for the song "Lavender (Nightfall Remix)," Snoop Dogg literally took aim at Trump, pointing a gun at a clown dressed like the then commander-in-chief. In an interview with Billboard at the time, the rapper listed his many issues with Trump, including the "ban that (he) tried to put up; him winning the presidency; police being able to kill ... and get away with it (and) people being in jail for weed for 20, 30 years."
Days after the music video dropped, Trump responded to Snoop Dogg's diss on social media. "Can you imagine what the outcry would be if (Snoop Dogg), failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!" he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Snoop Dogg slammed Trump again in June 2020 during an interview with Big Boy's Neighborhood on Real 92.3. While discussing his plan to vote for the first time in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the rapper said he didn't want Trump in office any longer.
"I ain't never voted a day in my life, but this year I think I'm going to get out and vote because I can't stand to see this punk in office one more year," Snoop Dogg said in response to Big Boi's question on what he thought about Trump and voting.
But while Trump is gunning for a face-off with President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election in November, Snoop Dogg remained coy when asked by The Sunday Times if he will declare support for a candidate.
"I may have to," Snoop Dogg said. "Because there are mixed views on that, so I want to see what the people say."
