Snoop Dogg: New confusion about the rapper

Did he apologize for his homophobic statements – or not? A spokesman for Snoop Dogg (53) emphasizes that alleged comments by the rapper, in which he described his statements as “mistakes”, were a fake.

The rapper had caused a sensation a few days ago when he had critically commented on the representation of LGBTQ+ in children’s films. In a podcast he said that he was “afraid to go to the cinema” after taking his grandchild to the film “Lightyear” from 2022 with him in which a lesbian couple is shown.

The statements are hotly debated in the United States – also at “Hollywood Unlocked”. Under an Instagram clip in which the actress TS Madison (47) Snoop Dogg criticizes, apparently the rapper and hip-hop icon spoke up: “I was simply surprised and had no answer for my grandchildren. All my gay friends know what’s going on. They call me lovingly. My mistake that I do not know the answers for a six-year-old. I’m not perfect. “

However, his spokesman now claims that these comments did not come from the rapper and were “fake”. It is unclear who is behind the comments.

Snoop Dogg criticized the treatment of various sexual orientations and gender identities outside the heterosexual norm in children’s films last week. “They show it everywhere,” complained the award -winning singer in a episode of the “It’s Giving” podcast. The rapper went closer to his reservations about the representation of lesbians, gays, bisexual, trans sexual, queer people and other sexual orientations in children’s films and said: “These are children. Do we have to show them this age? You will ask questions. I have no answer.”

After Dogg’s criticism of the animated film “Lightyear”, screenwriter Lauren Gunderson defended her decision to include the lesbian couple in the film. It was a “so beautiful love”, she wrote on Instagram. “It is not a fiction. What is fiction is to go to the gut and murderous aliens and a talking robot cat (Lang Sox).”
