Rapper Snoop Dogg recently sparked a firestorm of reaction after sharing his unease with LGBTQ+ representation in children’s films. On the “It’s Giving” podcast, he recounted taking his grandson to see Lightyear, where a brief scene features a same-sex couple raising a child. When his grandson innocently asked how two women could have a baby, Snoop confessed he was unprepared for the question.
He candidly admitted feeling blindsided by the moment, saying he’s now “scared to go to the movies,” because such scenes leave him scrambling for an answer. Snoop questioned whether children’s films are the right place to introduce complex topics like these, noting that he simply “came to watch the movie” and did not expect to be thrust into a difficult conversation.
His comments sparked swift backlash across social media, with critics accusing him of being homophobic and unprepared for inclusive storytelling in modern family entertainment. Meanwhile, his scheduled performance at Australia’s AFL Grand Final has come under scrutiny, reigniting debates about accountability in entertainment choices and representation in media.
