(NewsNation) — Snoop Dogg has caused a stir online after questioning LGBTQ+ representation in children’s movies.  

The rapper appeared on a recent episode of the podcast “It’s Giving,” during which he said his grandson had questions while watching Disney Pixar’s “Lightyear.”  

In the movie, a female character says she has a wife, and another scene shows the couple kissing and welcoming a baby.  

“They’re like, ‘And she had a baby … with a woman,'” Snoop Dogg told host Sarah Fontenot. “Well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie, like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman!’” 

Snoop Dogg: ‘I’m scared to go to the movies now’ 

He went on to say he didn’t go to the movie theater to watch that “s—.”

“I just came to watch the goddamn movie,” he said.

He then said he was “scared to go to the movies now” after his grandson’s inquiry.  

“It threw me for a loop,” he said. “I’m like, ‘What part of the movie was this?’ These are kids. We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. … I don’t have the answer.”

Snoop Dogg criticized on social media over LGBTQ+ views 

The comments were not well-received on social media, as users criticized and poked fun at the rapper.  

“Snoop Dogg built his career rapping about gangs, crime, drugs, and violence, proudly embracing the ‘gangsta rapper’ persona, but now he’s afraid by an animated film, just because it shows a same-sex couple together for less than 10 seconds?” one user wrote.

Another user posted: “Snoop Dogg when he sees a gay person” along with a “SpongeBob SquarePants” meme.

“Literally nobody cares what Snoop Dogg says or thinks about anything,” another user wrote.  

Snoop Dogg has appeared on queer programming  

Snoop Dogg has made controversial statements about the queer community before, despite appearing on LGBTQ+ programming.  

In 2004, he appeared on two episodes of Showtime’s “The L Word,” which followed a group of lesbian women in Los Angeles, according to his IMDB page.

Snoop Dogg told The Guardian in 2013 that rap and homosexuality “don’t mix,” but added, “I don’t have a problem with gay people. I got some gay homies.”
