Hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg never has been one to shy away from voicing his opinions. It’s part of what makes some people love him, and others hate him.
This time, though, Snoop finally might have put his foot in his digital mouth.
Following the suicide of former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez on Wednesday, Snoop tweeted his thoughts on the news, saying “This is sad.” It didn’t take long, though, for people to let the rapper know how they felt about his apparent support of Hernandez, who was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd.
So very sad that a murderer is no longer breathing 😢

Since Hernandez’s death, rumors on his motives for taking his own life have swirled, as have opinions on who he was as a person. His funeral has been scheduled by his family for Monday.
