Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg fka Snoop Lion has released a music video which has coveted much controversy.
The video for 'Lavender (Nightfall Remix) ft. Kaytranada' is a remix of a track from BADBADNOTGOOD and Kaytranada.
It shows a world full of clowns and centres around police brutality against people. After a clown is shot dead by a cop clown, the video turns to a news broadcast of President Donald Trump also dressed as a joker.
The most controversial part is when Snoop points a gun at the clown president and pulls the trigger - only to have a small flag come out the barrel saying BANG.

When he released the track, Snoop told Billboard: "When I be putting shit out, I don't ever expect or look for a reaction. I just put it out because I feel like it's something that's missing.
"Any time I drop something, I'm trying to fill in a void. 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 fucking clown as president, and the shit that we dealing with out here."
But despite him 'not looking for a reaction' - that's exactly what he got, of course.
Everyone has been waiting for President
Trump to respond and their prayers were answered this morning:
It's unclear whether President Trump is advocating for Snoop to be arrested over the video but we will let that play out.
Republicans have been very vocal about their disgust:
Florida Senator Marco Rubio told TMZ: "If the wrong person sees that and gets the wrong idea, you could have a real problem."
"We've had presidents assassinated before... so anything like that is something people should be really careful about."

Mr Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen also spoke with the celebrity tabloid, saying: "It's totally disgraceful. Snoop owes the president an apology,"
"There's absolutely nothing funny about an assassination attempt on a president, and I'm really shocked at him, because I thought he was better than that."
While I understand the video is provocative, it does seem hypocritical for President Trump to be criticising Snoop for illustrating gun violence.
Mainly because on the Presidential campaign trail, Donald said this:

He says he has the most loyal followers and that he could "stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters."
