During his recent appearance on It’s Giving Podcast, the rap icon discussed why he said the representation of the minority group is too much for him.
“What you see is what you see,” he explained. “And they’re putting it everywhere.”
Snoop Dogg then recalled taking his grandson to see Disney’s 2022 film Lightyear and admitted to being shocked that one of the protagonists had two mothers.
“They’re like, ‘She had a baby – with another woman,'” the rapper stated. “Well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie, like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!”
Snoop said he remembered thinking, “Oh s—, I didn’t come in for this s—. I just came to watch the godd— movie.” However, his grandson was not done asking questions, with the rapper recounting the conversation.
“They just said she and she had a baby – they’re both women,” Snoop recalled his grandson saying. “How does she have a baby?”
Snoop Dogg further stated that the experience “f—ed’ him up. “I’m like, scared to go to the movies. Y’all throwing me in the middle of s— that I don’t have the answers for.”
“It threw me for a loop,” he continued. “I’m like, “What part of the movie was this?'”
The rapper then highlighted the reason for his reluctance towards accepting the LGBTQ+ representation in children’s movies.
“These are kids,” he said.”We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”
