Snoop Dogg is letting Arnold Schwarzenegger have it for two decisions he made during his time as Governor of California.
Esteban Nunez was released from prison on Sunday, April, 10, after serving less than half of his original sentence. He plead guilty to manslaughter in the 2008 stabbing death of Luis Santos and began serving 16 years in prison in 2010.
Santos was a 22-year old San Diego Mesa College student at the time of his death.

Schwarzenegger commuted the sentence as the last act of his term in 2011, cutting it in half, as a favor to a political ally, former State Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Esteban's father.
In 2012, a Sacramento judge called the commutation “repugnant” but legal. In 2015, an appeals court wrote that “back-room dealings were apparent,” but ruled that Schwarzenegger had been within his rights.
Stanley "Tookie" Williams
On December 13, 2005, former Crips gang leader and friend of Snoop Dogg, Stanley "Tookie" Williams, was executed in California's San Quentin Prison after Schwarzenegger denied clemency, saying, "The facts do not justify overturning the jury's verdict or the decisions of the courts in this case."
Williams had steadfastly denied committing the four 1979 Los Angeles-area murders that he was convicted of.
Snoop feels like the former governor made the wrong decision in both cases. He posted an Instagram video on Tuesday, April 12, blasting Schwarzenegger.
"Arnold Schwarzenegger's a straight bitch," Snoop said. "Punk motherfucker. How the fuck you gon' let this nigga out of jail, but you gon' kill Tookie Williams, nigga. 'Cause homeboy was your friend. You's a bitch, you's a punk. Motherfucker, I can't stand you. You's one motherfucking racist piece of shit. Fuck you Arnold Schwarzenegger. You got the right name, nigga."
The family of Nunez's victim is also upset by Schwarzenegger's decision to cut his time in half.
“It makes you sick that something like this can happen, and you have no power,” Luis' mother Kathy Santos told the Los Angeles Times. “I don’t believe he’s reformed. I take pleasure from the thought that he will screw up his life again. I don’t think there will be a way out if he messes up again.”

Fabian Nunez says he doesn't have one ounce of regret.
“I used my relationship with the governor to help my own son,” he told The Times. “I’d do it again.”
