Snoop Dogg said he had "love and respect" for former President Donald Trump.
The legendary rapper gave his opinion of the 2024 Republican front-runner in a Sunday interview with The Sunday Times.
"He ain't done nothing wrong to me. He has only done great things for me," Snoop Dogg said.
The rapper referenced Trump's 2021 pardon of Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry O” Harris prior to leaving office.
"He pardoned Michael Harris. So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump," Snoop Dogg added.
Trump's pardon of Harris was accompanied by fellow rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, who also had their sentences commuted by the former president prior to leaving office.
Snoop Dogg previously praised Trump for Harris' pardon as "great work for the president and his team on the way out" in a 2021 Zoom call.
“They did some great work while they was in there and they did some great work on their way out. Let them know that I love what they did,” Snoop Dogg said of Trump and his administration, according to the New York Post. “It is amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to make people understand that there is a God.”
The rapper has had a historically contentious relationship with the former president, whose image was featured in Snoop Dogg's 2017 music video for "Lavender." The video features a series of people dressed like clowns as Snoop Dogg watches them on a television. A clown Trump makes several appearances and is shot by the rapper towards the end of the video.

Trump commented on Snoop Dogg's video shortly after its release.
"Can you imagine what the outcry would be if Snoop Dogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama?" Trump asked.
“The whole world is clownin’ around,” Snoop Dogg said of the video at the time. “If you really look at some of these motherf---ers, they are clowns.”
“The ban that this motherf---er tried to put up; him winning the presidency; police being able to kill motherf---ers and get away with it," the rapper said of the then-president. "I feel like it’s a lot of people making cool records, having fun, partying, but nobody’s dealing with the real issue with this f---ing clown as president, and the s--- that we dealing with out here."
In 2018, Snoop Dogg shared a video to his Instagram smoking marijuana outside the White House.
“While you n----as is voting and doing all this other bulls---, I’m at the White House smokin,’ n---a. F--- the president,” the rapper said.
