After facing backlash for performing at Trump's inauguration, Snoop Dogg defended his actions, highlighting his contributions to financial literacy and the community.

The West Coast rap legend, 53, released his surprise album, "Iz It a Crime," on May 15. Snoop Dogg said the project's title was partly a retort to the public scrutiny he faced in the wake of his performance during President Donald Trump's inaugural events earlier this year, according to Rolling Stone and the New York Post.
