Snoop Dogg unleashes controversy after "shooting" against Donald Trump in his music video
For the video of his new song "Lavender", singer Snoop Dogg characterized President Donald Trump as a clown whom the rapper ends up shooting in the head - with a toy gun that releases a pennant with the word "BANG" written at.
The plot of the video has been criticized in social networks and by politicians like Senator Marco Rubio, who told Rolling Stone magazine: "In this country we have had presidents killed, so that anything like that is something with which the People should be very careful. " He added that he was not sure what Snoop Dogg was thinking when he made the video.
The same begins in a city of clowns in which appears a personage called Ronald Klump, that with its wide red tie, orange cap and dark suit is a clear parody of Trump. The first time it appears is on a television giving a press conference from the Clown House, or House of Clowns, in reference to the White House.
The character then appears with his hands held high while Snoop Dogg casts him with a dummy pistol and fires. According to Snoop Dogg told Billboard magazine, his idea in making this video "was not to make a controversial but real song - real for ... people who have no voice."
He also explained that although there are many records coming out, "no one is dealing with the real problem with this (explicit language) clown as president."
The video clip, directed by Jesse Wellens, also touches on the racial issues that have rocked the country in recent years, referring to the case of Philando Castile, the young African American from Minnesota who was shot dead by a police officer in his vehicle in front of his girlfriend.
