Co-hosts of "The View" clashed over whether artists should face criticism for performing at events celebrating President Donald Trump's inauguration, particularly focusing on rapper Snoop Dogg's appearance.

Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin expressed disapproval of Black artists like Nelly and Snoop Dogg participating in the festivities. Snoop Dogg's performance at the Crypto Ball, a pre-inauguration event, drew particular attention due to his past criticism of Trump.

Navarro highlighted Snoop Dogg's strong words against Trump in 2017, contrasting them with his presence at the recent event. She questioned the rapper's change of heart, emphasizing that Trump's character hadn't changed.

In 2017, Snoop Dogg had released videos condemning any artist performing for Trump, using strong language and even mocking the then-president. Hostin brought up comments from former Clinton White House aide Keith Boykin, who criticized the artists for seemingly disregarding Trump's actions towards the Black community during his presidency.

Hostin agreed with Boykin's sentiment, urging viewers to remember Trump's history. However, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin disagreed with targeting artists for their performance choices. She compared it to Carrie Underwood's participation, viewing it as part of American tradition. Griffin suggested focusing on politicians rather than artists if boycotts were deemed necessary.
