Snoop Dogg proved he remains "untouchable" in Hollywood on Sunday night, delivering a charismatic performance at the 83rd GOLDEN GLOBE Awards. Despite recent social media backlash regarding his involvement in President Donald Trump’s inaugural festivities, the 54-year-old rap icon was met with a standing ovation at the Beverly Hilton.
Walking out to his 2004 classic "Drop It Like It's Hot," Snoop presented the ceremony's first-ever award for Best Podcast. He immediately commanded the star-studded room, telling the audience to "loosen up" and enjoy the "Double-G's" (GOLDEN GLOBES) with the "D-O-Double-G."
"I need y’all to loosen up a little bit," Snoop joked. "Best Podcast is a very important category for me, because, before podcasts, I was what y’all would listen to driving around in your cars."
The legendary rapper has made headlines recently for his vocal support of the President, stating he has "nothing but love and respect" for Trump. While some in the industry have faced DOJ or FBI scrutiny or professional "cancellation" for similar ties, Snoop appeared immune to the friction, receiving zero boos from the notoriously liberal Hollywood crowd.
The atmosphere took a classic "Snoop" turn when he admitted to being "high as a motherf---er" on stage, a comment that was reportedly bleeped or cut from the live CBS broadcast. He quipped that the organizers had kept him waiting "too damn long" before finally revealing the winner.
The historic first podcast trophy went to Amy Poehler for her show "Good Hang." Snoop’s appearance served as a bridge between the old guard of Hollywood and the new "America First" cultural landscape, where celebrities are increasingly open about their political leanings without fear of total exile.
Even as host Nikki Glaser mocked CBS for its "editing" scandals and stars wore pins protesting ICE, Snoop Dogg’s presence provided a moment of levity and bipartisan appeal. His ability to navigate both the MAGA world and the Hollywood elite continues to solidify his status as a cultural mainstay.
As the DHS and other agencies manage the ongoing unrest in cities like Minneapolis, the entertainment world briefly focused on the "D-O-Double-G" and his celebratory, if slightly hazy, contribution to the night.
