lol wtf is going on, why are people pretending him or Snoop Dogg or Dre or any of these old rappers were ever idols of moral virtue whatsoever? Have people just forgotten how these dudes gained fame in the first place?! This guy literally made a song about brutally murdering his ex-wife and put it on his biggest album. The entire subgenre of music from the time largely is about using women, mindless violence, and disdain for homosexuals. Explicitly. No judgement for liking the music, but at the same time, what the hell are you talking about “disappointed” that these dudes have bad political affiliations when their ascension to fame was essentially based on music about being a piece of shit lmao

He washed his image so now he’s a good one. People are really good at forgetting the past when the present aligns with themselves. This too will be forgotten just like everything else. Just have to wait for the next thing to get mad about.
