Snoop Dogg Has Apologised Over His Comments About LGBTQ+ Representation In Pixar Films

Snoop Dogg has apologised after his comments about two female characters being married in Pixar’s Lightyear went viral, admitting he was “scared to go to the movies now”.

Snoop Dogg has come out to apologise for his comments regarding taking his grandsons to see Pixar’s Lightyear, which featured two female characters in a same-sex marriage with kids.

The 53-year-old rapper would address the controversy in the comments section of a Hollywood Unlocked Instagram Post, where T.S Madison had criticised the rapper for his reaction.

Snoop would write:

“I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. 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. Teach me how to learn; I’m not perfect.”

Snoop would make his first controversial comments after appeaing on Dr Sarah Fontenot’s It’s Giving podcast on August 20, where he recalled taking his grandson to see the pixar film. The rapper would share he was caught off guard and upset after his grandson was asking questions about the same sex couple in the movie.

“Why my grandson in the middle of the movie like, ‘Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman,’ he shared. “I didn’t come here for this s**t, I just came to watch the goddamn movie.”

The ‘Gin and Juice’ rapper would contine: “So it’s like, f**k me, I’m scared to go to the movies now. Like, y’all throwing me in the middle of s**t I don’t have an answer for,” he said. “It threw me for a loop. We don’t have to show that at this age? Like, they’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”

As you can expect, Snoop would face immediate backlash for his comments, with many accusing him of being homophobic. Lauren Gunderson, a writer worked on Lightyear, would reply in a Threads post on August 27, explaining the decision behind the inclusion.

“I had very little to do with the final script. But I was proud to see a happy queer couple (even for a few seconds) onscreen,” Gunderson would share online. “I know they got a lot of s**t for this inclusion, but stuff like this matters because beautiful love like this exists. It’s *not* fiction.”

Snoop Dogg is still set to perform at Australia’s AFL Grand Final later this month, with AFL chief Andrew Dillon saying, “The grand final entertainment will add to what will be an amazing spectacle … it will be at a level that we haven’t seen for a long time, he’ll do a great job.”
