Snoop Dogg used an interview Sunday to reveal he has nothing but “love and respect” for former President Donald Trump.
The rapper was taking part in a long-form exchange with UK Sunday Times journalist Jonathan Dean when he made the declaration of fond regard for the man seeking a return to the White House in 2024, stating with a laugh:
Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris.
[…] So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.
Harris, the co-founder of Snoop’s first label, Death Row, was in prison for drug offenses when the then president set him free, as Breitbart News reported.
Trump handed out more than 100 pardons at the time, including clemency to Harris, 59, who was serving his sentence at the Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution in California.
The rap mogul and drug kingpin, who was set to be released in 2028, was found guilty of attempted murder and cocaine trafficking more than three decades ago.
Harris’ lawyers had tried unsuccessfully to secure his release citing their client’s auto-immune disorder and the coronavirus pandemic.
