His bad.
Snoop Dogg spoke out after he made controversial comments about his response to a same-sex couple in the Pixar movie “Lightyear.”
The rapper, 53, insisted he supports the LGBTQ+ community as he commented on an Aug. 27 “Hollywood Unlocked” Instagram clip of T.S. Madison calling him out for his remarks.
“I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons,” Snoop, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., wrote.
“All my gay friends [know] what’s up, they been calling me with love,” he continued. “My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old.”
“Teach me how to learn,” Snoop added. “I’m not perfect.”
During the Aug. 20 episode of Dr. Sarah Fontenot’s “It’s Giving” podcast, Snoop explained that he took his grandson to see “Lightyear” and was shocked that the movie features a lesbian couple.
“My grandson, in the middle of the movie is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!’” Snoop recalled.
The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” singer declared that he “didn’t come in for this sh-t” and is now “scared to go to the movies.”
“Y’all throwing me in the middle of sh-t that I don’t have an answer for,” he told the podcast host. “It threw me for a loop. I’m like, ‘What part of the movie was this? These are kids. We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.’”
Snoop’s comments led to swift backlash from fans, who accused him of being ignorant and homophobic.
Even “Lightyear” writer Lauren Gunderson weighed in on the controversy as she defended the film’s lesbian couple in a Threads post last week.
“As we wrote early versions of what became LIGHTYEAR, a key character needed a partner, and it was so natural to write ‘she’ instead of ‘he,’” said Gunderson. “As small as that detail is in the film, I knew the representational effect it could have. Small line, big deal. I was elated that they kept it.”
Gunderson added, “I had very little to do with the final script. But I was proud to see a happy queer couple (even for a few seconds) onscreen. I know they got a lot of shit for this inclusion, but stuff like this matters because beautiful love like this exists.”
The screenwriter also stated that Snoop “sucks” and hopes “he joins the side of Love.”
