Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice entered the fray by tweeting a stern warning to Snoop Dogg to "back the F off" Gayle King. Rice described King as a principled journalist and warned Snoop that coming for her meant facing an "army" that would ensure he lost. This high-level political intervention was seen as a display of the "Boule's" power, prompting Snoop to release a follow-up video clarifying that he is a non-violent person who spoke from the heart.
