‘I love what they did’: Snoop Dogg on Trump granting clemency to pal


Rapper Snoop Dogg has a message for President Trump and his aides: “I love what they did,” he said, in granting clemency to Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry O” Harris.

Harris learned Tuesday that he will be released early from prison on Trump’s orders, though the White House has not yet publicly said so.

The music and marijuana mogul was told of the decision Sunday and said he wanted to share a message with the outgoing president.

“That’s great work for the president and his team on the way out,” Snoop Dogg said in remarks shared with The Post.

“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.”

He also said, “It is amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to make people understand that there is a God.”

Snoop Dogg praised Trump on a Zoom call with reform advocates Alice Johnson and Weldon Angelos, who shared the recording with his permission.

The Zoom meeting was convened so that Johnson could break the news to Snoop Dogg that Harris, 59, would be getting clemency after three decades in prison for attempted murder and cocaine trafficking. His was slated for release in June 2028.

“Happy Sunday,” Snoop Dogg says, before hearing the purpose for the Zoom call.

Johnson, the first-time drug offender who Trump freed from a life sentence at the urging of Kim Kardashian and later pardonedthen shares the news.

Johnson tells Snoop Dogg, “I just got a call from the White House and Harry-O is getting clemency. He’s coming home, brother!”

Snoop exclaims, “God is good!”

A thrilled Johnson concurs, “All the time! All the time! All the time!”

Harris received word he’d been granted clemency at Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution in California, said Angelos, who received his own pardon from Trump in December.

Angelos said Harris sent him an email saying, “Thank God. God is great. It feels like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders.”

Snoop’s efforts came even though he’s been an outspoken critic of Trump — and even made a video in which he pretended to shoot a clown dressed as the president.

Angelos credited first daughter Ivanka Trump for Harris’ impending release more than seven years before it was scheduled to take place on June 13, 2028.

“The credit on this one goes to Ivanka Trump because Ivanka Trump was not going to take no for an answer,” he said.

He said Ivanka “did this for Alice Johnson and this is a huge win for hip-hop.”
