Snoop Dogg Lashes Out After Allegedly Being Targeted By Cop: ‘Did You Forget You’re a Black Man in the USA’

Snoop Dogg lashed out at a police officer who pulled him over in New York on Sunday.

At the time, Snoop was in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van and didn’t like that the officer seemed to be an immigrant.

“Why is it always some motherf—ker that ain’t from America that’s some sort of kind of a police officer or pull you over kind of n—a?” he asked. “N—a, your registration and paperwork ain’t even together, motherf—ker. The Slushie machine is broken, motherf–cker. Why you pulling us over and sh–? You got your citizenship?”

Snoop then said America is messed up these days and advised everyone to keep their “lawyers and alibis” nearby.

Soon after, many said the rapper was being racist and xenophobic, but not everyone saw it that way. There were also some who said Snoop sounds like a Donald Trump supporter, since Trump hasn’t really rolled out the red carpet for foreigners.

“Racial Tirade…  Not racist. 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣,”  someone wrote about Snoop on YouTube.

“not really a racial tirade. it’s more like a xenophobic tirade,” another person responded.

But there were some who empathized with the rapper’s frustration and didn’t criticize his rant.

“Did you forget you’re a black man in USA? ANY person of color WILL get pulled over for no reason,” someone wrote.

Snoop’s clip received a little over 300,000 views in a couple of days, and people are still debating on whether he’s xenophobic or not.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
