Rappers Snoop Dogg and Nelly are performing at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration events, with Snoop popping up at the first-ever "Crypto Ball" on Friday night and Nelly scheduled for the official Inaugural Liberty Ball on Monday. The performances mark a significant shift, particularly for Snoop Dogg, who previously criticized Trump and his MAGA supporters. Newsweek reached out to press contacts for both Snoop Dogg and Nelly via email on Saturday for comment.

What To Know

The Crypto Ball, hosted by incoming White House AI and "Crypto Czar" David Sacks, took place at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington D.C. on Friday night, with tickets ranging from $2,500 to $5,000.

Snoop Dogg, dressed in a black jacket with gold buttons and a bowtie, performed hits including "Drop It Like It's Hot" while DJing a mix of crowd-pleasers from Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" to Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds." The event drew other notable guests including fellow rapper Rick Ross and UFC star Colby Covington.

Meanwhile, Grammy Award-winning artist Nelly, known for his global hit "Hot In Herre," will perform at the Inaugural Liberty Ball, one of three official inaugural celebrations on Monday according to a press release from the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee.
