Snoop Dogg, along with many other musical artists and celebrities, has always been vocal about how he feels about Trump and the oppression that so many people have to live under his administration. Last year during the government shutdown, Snoop was very clear about his views when speaking directly to his fans on Instagram: Aint no f***ing way in the world yall can vote for Donald Trump when he come back up again. If yall do vote for him, yall some stupid motherf***ers, he said passionately.

He continued to directly address furloughed government workers during that time period: Yall honest, blue-collar, hard-working people and suffering. So if he dont care about yall, he really dont give a f*** about us. So f*** him too, and f*** everybody down with Donald Trump. I said it, he declared. Snoop sure doesnt mince words when it comes to Donald Trump. He even mimicked shooting Trump in his music video for his song, Lavender. Its clear where Snoop stands on this issue.

However, as passionate as he is about getting Trump out, Snoop Dogg revealed that he had never voted before. He had a very good reason for that: he was under the impression that he wasnt allowed to vote because of prior felony convictions, even though his record has been expunged.

Its not surprising that Snoop was under that impression, with racist Jim Crow-era laws frequently allowing the government to charge and even arrest people for voting with a convicted felony. These racist laws, unsurprisingly, mostly affect Black individuals.

In a recent interview, Snoop Dogg shared his past with voting. For many years they had me brainwashed thinking that you couldnt vote because you had a criminal record. I didnt know that. My records been expunged so now I can vote, he stated.

Its wonderful that Snoop Dogg can now take his passion and dedication for a better future for America and turn it into action.

Now that he knows hes eligible to vote, Snoop Dogg says, he will be heading to the polls for the first time come November. He shared that he realizes the importance of walking the talk when it comes to getting Trump out of office. Hes encouraging others to get out and vote, so he wants to do the same to set an example.

We got to make a difference, I cant talk about it and not be about it, he explained in the interview, adding: I cant tell you to do it then you dont go do it. Everybody know Im a front-liner. I aint gonna tell you to do something I didnt do.

If it wasnt obvious enough before, its clear that Snoop Dogg will absolutely not be voting for Trump in November.

I aint never voted a day in my life, but this year I think Im going to get out and vote because I cant stand to see this punk in office one more year, he shared.
