Trump Slams Snoop's "Failing Career" In Response To Rapper Pulling Gun On Prez In Vid

Staff Writer

"Can you imagine what the outcry would be if Snoop Dogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama?"

Donald Trump has hit back at Snoop Dogg’s new music video, Lavender, which depicts the rapper aiming a gun at a clown dressed as the US president.

While Trump’s lawyers have demanded the iconic hip hop artist apologise for the clip, the President, as he often likes to do, took matters into his own hands and slammed Snoop Dogg on Twitter.

"Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!"

The sequence embroiled in controversy depicts Dogg aiming a toy pistol at 'Ronald Klump', before pulling the trigger only for a 'bang' sign to pop out of the gun.
