T.I. Chastises Trump for Coming after Snoop Dogg

T.I. came to the rescue of his longtime friend Snoop Dogg after  Florida Senator Marco Rubio, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen and even the Don himself called out Snoop Dogg for  his mock assassination of President Donald Trump doppelgänger in his new video “Lavender.”

The Atlanta rapper took to Instagram to put Trump in his place about Snoop. In a screenshot pic of Trump’s tweet to Snoop earlier today (March 15), he refers to the president as a “Tangerine Tanned Muskrat scrotum skin, Lacefront Possum fur wig wearing, Alternative face, Atomic Dog diarrhea face ass man!!!!,” said T.I. in the comments of the post.

This war of words began after the Doggfather released his new video “Lavender.” In the video, he mock assassinates a clown-themed President Donald Trump doppelgänger.

Rubio spoke with TMZ outside Reagan National Airport Monday (March 13) and asked him about his feelings on the video.

“Snoop shouldn’t have done that,” he said. “We’ve had presidents assassinated before in this country, so anything like that is something people should really careful about.”

He adds that if the “wrong person sees that and gets the wrong idea, you could have a real problem. So, I’m not sure what Snoop was thinking. He should think about that a little more.”

Cohen isn’t feeling it either. He went on “TMZ Live” yesterday (March 14) to respond.

“It’s totally disgraceful. Snoop owes the president an apology,” said Cohen. “There’s absolutely nothing funny about an assassination attempt on a president, and I’m really shocked at him because I thought he was better than that.”

Cohen also said that he doesn’t see the “artistic value” in Snoop’s mock assassination of a clown pistol Trump. The video is set in a parallel universe of clowns. A clown motorist is harassed and then shot by a clown police. Simultaneously, another young clown is recording recording the incident.

By the end, a clown dressed as the president stands with both hands in the air and Snoop aiming a gun at him. When the rapper squeezes the trigger, it only shoots out the the word “bang.”

“I would not have accepted if it was President Obama,” Cohen continued, “and I certainly don’t accept it as President Trump. In all fairness, it’s not funny. It’s not artistic.”

TMZ, however, spoke with other rappers Ice-T and Treach, who see the artistic value in the video.
