Snoop Dogg has been heavily called out after he made some comments many deemed to be homophobic regarding a lesbian relationship in the Disney movie Lightyear – and whilst it’s now today been circulating that Snoop Dogg had commented an apology for what he’d said, this has been debunked as fake.<\/p>\n

Last week, Snoop Dogg appeared on the podcast It’s Giving – where he commented<\/a> that he was, err, “scared to go to the movies” after he watched the Toy Story spin off Lightyear with his grandson. On the podcast, Snoop said: \u201cMy grandson, in the middle of the movie, is like, \u2018Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman\u2019. Ah, sh*t. I didn\u2019t come in for this sh*t, I just came to watch the goddamn movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Snoop added: \u201cI\u2019m like, scared to go to the movies. Y\u2019all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don\u2019t have an answer for. It threw me for a loop. I\u2019m like, these are kids, we have to show that at this age? They\u2019re going to ask questions. I don\u2019t have the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n

An apology has gone viral, but apparently it wasn’t real<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Deadline<\/a> then reported that Snoop Dogg had left a comment as an apology on an interview video – and Deadline claim it was commented by Snoop’s official Instagram account and deleted. The comment reportedly said \u201cI was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. All my gay friends [know] what\u2019s up, [they\u2019ve] been calling me with love. My bad for not knowing the answers for a [six-year-old]. Teach me how to learn. I\u2019m not perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, a rep for Snoop Dogg has commented to The Hollywood Reporter that the comment is fake and was not written by the rapper. Multiple news outlets have run the story as a real apology, but it seems that as of right now Snoop Dogg is yet to take back the comments he made which caused this whole saga and that it’s fake.<\/p>\n

The saga has been extremely jarring and has even had Lightyear’s screenwriter speak out about the rapper’s comments. Lauren Gunderson said \u201cI created the Lightyear lesbians. In 2018, I was a writer at Pixar \u2013 such a cool place, grateful to work there, learned a ton from kind and impressive creatives.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAs we wrote early versions of what became Lightyear, a key character needed a partner, and it was so natural to write \u2018she\u2019 instead of \u2018he\u2019. 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. I’m proud of it. To infinity. Love is love.”<\/p>\n
