Snoop has endorsed President Barack Obama’s 2012
re-election campaign.Speaking at a panel at the Toronto International Film
Festival late last week, Snoop Lion, the rapper and actor formerly known as
Snoop Dogg, laid out what GQ described as an “oddly compelling”—albeit
expletive-filled—argument for keeping Obama in the White House, reports The
Ticket.
“We need to give Obama four more years,” Snoop said at the
conference. “Bush fucked up for eight years, so you gotta at least give him
eight years. He cleaned half the shit up in four years.”
News of the endorsement was joked about on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
Wednesday, when the late-night host said that in addition to his endorsement of
Obama, Snoop “also endorsed a sleeve of Samoa Girl Scout cookies.”
Obama is not the only candidate in the 2012 presidential race to
receive a hip-hop endorsement.
Earlier this month, Nicki Minaj contributed a surprising verse to
a new Lil Wayne mixtape. On it, she sings, “I’m a Republican voting for Mitt
Romney, you lazy bitches are fucking up the economy.”
