Charlamagne tha God Criticizes Backlash Against Rappers at Trump Inauguration

The radio host called out critics for targeting performers while ignoring Democratic leaders' recent engagement with Trump.

  • Charlamagne tha God defended rappers like Snoop Dogg and Nelly for performing at President Donald Trump's inauguration events, attributing their participation to financial incentives.
  • He criticized the outrage directed at the artists, arguing that more scrutiny should be placed on Democratic leaders who previously denounced Trump but have since engaged with him publicly.
  • The radio host highlighted perceived hypocrisy, pointing to figures like Joe Biden and Barack Obama, who have interacted with Trump despite earlier harsh criticisms.
  • Charlamagne argued that elected officials 'normalized' Trump by their actions, contrasting this with the straightforward motivations of the performers.
  • He also reiterated his stance that political reactions to Trump's legal troubles, including his sentencing in the hush money trial, have been exaggerated and largely performative.
