The cover for rapper Snoop Dogg's latest album, "Make America Crip Again" — which was released Oct. 27 — features a dead body sporting a morgue toe tag that reads "Trump."
What are the details?
On the album's cover, the brazen rapper can be seen sipping from a cup while staring down at what is supposed to represent the president's corpse.
A song featured on the album, titled "M.A.C.A.," boasts lyrics like, "Colin Kaepernick was blackballed, ah, n***a, please/ This still America with three K's, believe that s**t."
Snoop discussed the new album with Rolling Stone in October, where he denied that "Make America Crip Again" was a "statement or a political act," and said that the songs on the album were simply "good music."
"Certain people feel like we should make America 'great again,' but that time they're referring to always takes me back to separation and segregation," the rapper explained, "so I'd rather 'Make America Crip Again.'"

Has he done anything like this before?
This isn't the first time that Snoop Dogg — who's real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. — took aim at Trump in a physical way.
In the rapper's March video for "Lavender," Snoop shoots a clown — bearing a striking resemblance to the president — in the head.
Trump himself responded to Snoop's video with a tweet.
"Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama?" Trump tweeted. "Jail time!"

What's next?
According to The Blast, the rapper's album cover was enough to receive a statement from the Secret Service.
The Secret Service told the site that they are "aware" of Snoop's album, and have a "robust protective intelligence section" responsible for threat and risk analysis and assessment.
