Snoop Dogg did not hold back when giving Kendrick Lamar your props for your viral Juneteenth show. He appeared to be addressing social media users who questioned whether he was present.
If you missed it, K. Dot took the stage at the Forum in Los Angeles for her Amazon-produced “Pop Out” show. The three-hour spectacle was streamed live on Twitch, but hundreds of fans and many familiar celebrity faces, from LeBron James to Russell Westbrook to North West, watched in person.

The show seemed to be a collective celebration of Los Angeles culture, promoting unity in the streets and doubling down on their “hate” for Drizzy.

Two days after the show, Snoop Dogg shared his official thoughtit’s about Kenny’s performance. He said the show was “beautiful” and “fun to watch.”
“It is beautiful to see all my people united, and K. Dot, you are the King of the West. That’s the kind of shit kings do, we stick together. We unite our people,” he said.

For context, Snoop initially seemed to avoid Kendrick and Drake rap meat when it escalated to back-to-back diss tracks in April. He spoke out when Drizzy used his and Tupac’s AI-generated vocals in one of his reviews titled ‘Taylor Made Freestyle’. At the time, Snoop shared a cryptic message, apparently expressing confusion. However, he did not explicitly close the record.
Meanwhile, Tupac’s estate wasted no time in firing back, threatening the Canadian rapper with legal action if he didn’t remove the track. He reacted by deleting his social media profiles. It never reached streaming platforms.

Then in May, Snoop Dogg gave the two men his flowers for “raising the bar” in hip hop, but made it clear that their fight was none of his business. He told Entertainment Tonight the following:
“Well, the only thing I want to say about this whole scenario is that I want to thank you both for raising the bar when it comes to lyrics, when it comes to writing and writing songs, because the writing has been raised. from the confrontation or whatever you call it, whatever they went through. These are my nephews. I’m not in the middle of it. I support both of them and that’s my personal business, not mine,” Snoop explained.
Charlamagne Tha God also crowned Kendrick King
Snoop isn’t the only public figure to crown K. Dot, king of hip hop! Charlamagne Tha God expressed similar sentiments during a segment with his ‘Breakfast Club’ hosts DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious. Charla explained that the performance went deeper than Kenny hating Drake. Instead, the three-hour show represented Lamar solidifying his hip hop legacy, according to the radio host.
“For me, the show wasn’t so much about Drake as it was about Kendrick Lamar becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of hip hop. Like, when it comes to this new generation that we’ve been watching for the last fifteen years, Kendrick is the king of hip hop and it’s not even close. I’m not talking about charts, I’m not talking about streaming records, I’m not talking about pop songs, singing in songs, I’m talking about bars, rap, hip hop, culture. Kendrick wears that crown and it’s not even close,” said Charlamagne Tha God.
He added that Kendrick “set the tone” and proceeded to “walk around bloodied and crippled in the head of his enemy.”
Meanwhile, on Thursday, another West Coast rapper clarified his absence from Kendrick Lamar’s concert. Like Snoop, The Game gave Kenny his props, calling the performance “incredible for the West Coast.” While he called Kenny “big-hearted,” he also doubled down on his loyalty to Drake.
