Last week, Snoop Dogg<\/a> stopped by the It’s Giving<\/a> podcast for a chat with Sarah Fontenot. The conversation shifted to one about perceived shifts in gender dynamics. From there, Snoop responded by talking about when<\/a> he went to see the Pixar film Lightyear with his then six-year-old grandson.<\/p>\n

“What you see is what you see, they’re putting it everywhere,”\u00a0he said. “My grandson in the middle of the movie like, ‘Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman.’ Aw, s**t. I didn’t come here for this s**t, I just came to watch the goddamn movie. […] ‘Shhh. The movie ain’t over yet.’ I’m scared to go to the movies now. Like, y’all throwing me in the middle of s**t that I don’t have an answer for. […] It threw me for a loop. These are kids that we have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”<\/p>\n

The comments sparked negative reactions, with many saying they were homophobic. Lightyear writer Lauren Gunderson directly addressed Snoop,<\/a> pointing out that they do not play a big role in the film. She argued that even having them in the film at all is important for representation. “I know they got a lot of s**t for this inclusion, but stuff like this matters because beautiful love like this exists,” she said on Threads.<\/p>\n

Snoop Dogg responded to the backlash he received with a public comment on Instagram, made in the replies to a Hollywood Unlocked post.<\/a> The original post came from T.S. Madison, in which she called Snoop out for those comments. Madison argued that Snoop’s remarks were “rooted in homophobia.” <\/p>\n

\u201cI was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons,\u201d he said. \u201cAll my gay friends [know] what\u2019s up they been calling me with love [heart emoji] my bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old teach me how to learn I\u2019m not perfect,” closing with a prayer emoji, a hands raised emoji, and a paw print emoji. Hopefully, Snoop uses this latest incident as a true learning opportunity. At the very least, he seems interested in becoming more aware.<\/p>\n
