An Instagram comment attributed to Snoop Dogg, in which the rapper addressed recent comments he made voicing discomfort with LGBTQ+ representation in children’s films, is “fake,” according to his representative. Per The Hollywood Reporter, someone posing as Snoop apparently gained access to his Instagram account and posted a comment on Hollywood Unlocked’s page that read: “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-year-old. Teach me how to learn. I’m not perfect.”
Snoop’s representative did not specify who authored the comment, and, curiously, it remains live as of Monday, September 1st.
In his original comments made on the It’s Giving podcast late last month, Snoop recounted taking his grandson 2022 Pixar movie, Lightyear, and being shocked to see one of the main characters being raised by a lesbian couple. When his grandson asked how two women could have a baby, the rapper said he was at a loss for words. “I didn’t come in for this shit. I just came to watch the goddamn movie,” Snoop recalled, adding that the moment “fucked me up. 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… It threw me for a loop.”
