Fans criticized Rapper Snoop Dogg for making controversial remarks about the LGBTQIA+ representation in a recent film he and his grandson watched.
Snoop Dogg was hit with criticism after he made controversial comments about LGBTQIA+ representation in movies. The 53-year-old Vato rapper angered fans when he said he felt uneasy about taking his grandson to the cinema after being shocked at seeing same-sex representation in Disney’s movie, Lightyear.
He claimed that same-sex representation was “always present” in movies when he made the comment on the It’s Giving podcast. He asserted that “what you see is what you see,” and it is everywhere. When Snoop saw Alisha Hawthorne with her wife and child, he said his grandson was perplexed.
Snoop remarked, “She had a baby with another woman,” adding, “They’re like that.” In the middle of the movie, my grandson says, “Papa Papa Snoop,” right? How does she become pregnant with a woman? She’s a woman! ‘”

The Drop It Like It’s Hot singer, who caused outrage after performing at one of Donald Trump’s inaugural events, claims he had no idea how to respond to his grandson.
He said, “Oh sh**, I didn’t come in for this sh**,” and I was shocked. I’m just about to watch the movie “Goddamn”. His grandson then responded, “She and she had a baby, they’re both women,” and he replied, “It’s true.” How is she expecting?”
Snoop remarked that the situation “f**ked me up,” adding that it “threw him for a loop.” I’m afraid to go to the movies, I guess. You’re throwing me into a shitstorm for which I have no idea what to do. I was thrown for a loop by it. What scene in the movie was this, I wonder?
He claimed that while kids are naturally curious, they should be shown LGBTQIA representation to young audience members.
“These are kids,” he said. At this age, we must demonstrate that. They will inquire. He responded, “I don’t have the answer.”
The rapper received criticism from fans on social media and expressed their disapproval. According to one user, “Snoop was not on my bingo card because he was the biggest disappointment ever.”
Another wrote, “God forbids children from seeing representation, and parents must talk to their children about it.” One parent said, “He showed his true colors at the inauguration, and now he is showing his hatred.”
One irritable user wrote, “It’s because people of his generation refuse to educate themselves, so they don’t know how to educate the generation the claim is “raising.”
One fan said, “Wow. I feel so foolish to have ever liked him. Why are we unable to have our voices heard in any way without outcry? It doesn’t have a agenda. Sometimes all we want to do is appear in the media and entertainment. Is that a “so wrong”?
