Snoop Dogg in hot water again over use of dead Trump imagery
Back in March, Snoop Dogg pissed off Donald Trump by releasing a music video for his remix of Badbadnotgood’s “Lavender” that featured him pulling a toy gun on a clown version of Trump. Now, Snoop is courting controversy again with the album art for his new EP Make America Crip Again, which the Associated Press says featured Snoop looking down on a body in a morgue with a toe tag that says “Trump”—an homage to the cover of Ice Cube’s Death Certificate album from 1991. Snoop shared the image on Twitter this week, but he later deleted the tweet.
