Snoop Dogg finally responds to his viral ‘homophobic’ comments after saying he was ‘scared’

People were divided by his response


Earlier this year, Snoop Dogg shed his eternally chill image when he made “homophobic” comments about gay characters in the Toy Story spin-off Lightyear.

Disney is hardly the pinnacle of LGBTQ+ representation, but in a seconds-long moment in Lightyear, a female astronaut is seen with her wife and kid. The film came out in 2022, but during an apperence on the It’s Giving podcast, he confessed to an interaction with his grandson that left him stumped and scared.

“Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman,” his grandson allegedly said.

He said on the podcast: “Aw s**t, I didn’t come here for this s**t, I just came here to watch the goddamn movie. So that’s like f**k me, I’m scared to go to the movies now, y’all throwing me in the middle of this s**t that I don’t have an answer for … it threw me for a loop. These are kids … [do] we have to show that at that age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”

His comments were widely slammed, including by his own bestie, Martha Stewart, but he was eerily silent on the matter. Now, after one so-called apology was proven to be fake, Snoop Dogg has finally broken his silence on his “homophobic” comments.

Snoop Dogg seemingly addressed his anti-gay comments

Snoop Dogg has now partnered with GLAAD to support Spirit Day, the LGBTQ+ youth anti-bullying initiative. He collaborated with gay artist Jeremy Beloate on a new song entitled Love Is Love, which was included in Snoop’s own YouTube kids’ show, Doggyland.

“It’s a beautiful thing that kids can have parents of all walks and be shown love, to be taught what love is…being able to have parents from all walks of life, whether it be two fathers, two mothers, whatever it is, love is the key,” he said.

In the show itself, Love Is Love is sung by Jeremy’s new character, Zippy, who sings: “Our parents are different/No two are the same/But the one thing that’s for certain is the love won’t change/Families are special/They are so unique/Everybody’s got a purpose, more than what you see/We love you, parents/We love you so.”

Backtracking his earlier anti-gay comments, Snoop Dogg also said in a statement: “At the end of the day, it’s all about love — that’s what we’re teachin’ the kids with ‘Love Is Love.’ Partnering with GLAAD for Spirit Day just felt right, because spreading love and respect for everybody is what real gangstas do. We’re showin’ the next generation that kindness is cool, inclusion is powerful, and love always wins.”

Though some argued he was simply doing damage control, others applauded him for changing his position.

“He was visited by 3 ghosts,” one person said.

Another wrote: “He literally played at the Trump inauguration. A f*cking grifter with ZERO morals. He doesn’t stand for anything.”
