Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., previously said he was “scared to go to the movies” after seeing a same-sex couple with a baby in the film “Lightyear,” which he was watching with his grandson.
“My grandson, in the middle of the movie, is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman,’” he said during an appearance on the “It’s Giving” podcast in August. “I didn’t come in for this shit ― I just came to watch the goddamn movie.”
“‘They just said she and she had a baby. They both women. How did she have a baby?’” the rapper continued as he imitated his grandson. “I’m like, scared to go to the movies. Y’all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don’t have an answer for.”
A person that appeared to be Snoop Dogg seemingly addressed his remarks concerning the LGBTQ+ community in a comment on an Instagram post from the Hollywood Unlocked account.
“I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons,” the rapper reportedly wrote. “All my gay friends [know] what’s up they been calling me with love.”
“My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old,” the comment said. “Teach me how to learn I’m not perfect.”
The Hollywood Reporter said in an article published Sunday that a rep for Snoop Dogg described the comments as “fake” and that they were not written by the rapper.
Sources close to the rapper also told Deadline that the comments, which appeared to be made by Snoop’s verified Instagram account, were not written by anyone on his team either.
