Snoop Dog BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Snoop Dogg has been making major headlines this week for sparking a fierce public controversy after his recent appearance on the It’s Giving podcast. During the interview, Snoop recounted the moment his grandson questioned seeing a same-sex couple and their child in Pixar’s Lightyear, expressing frustration about being put on the spot to explain LGBTQ+ themes to young kids. Quoting Snoop, he told the host, “I just came to watch the goddamn movie… I’m scared to go to the movies now. Y’all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don’t have an answer for... These are kids. We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions… I don’t have the answer,” as reported by BET and others.

His remarks were quickly deemed dismissive by many, creating a tidal wave on social media with fans and activists denouncing his comments as homophobic. Memes took off, and supporters of LGBTQ+ representation accused him of being out of touch. Boy George chimed in on X, previously Twitter, saying, “You can’t turn kids gay by helping them understand that some people are different… Come on Snoop, be the legend you are,” calling out the rapper’s stance. Some social media users resurfaced his cameo on The L Word in 2004, pointing to what they see as contradictions in his public persona.

The backlash extended to the business sphere, with The Tab and Rolling Stone noting there have been official calls—joined by politicians like an Australian Greens Senator—to remove Snoop as the confirmed headliner for the 2025 AFL Grand Final in Australia, just weeks before the event. AFL executives so far have stood by their decision, arguing that Snoop remains an internationally significant entertainer with a record of promoting diversity through projects like his children’s brand Doggyland.

Meanwhile, Snoop himself has not publicly walked back his comments, but debate about his intentions continues. YouTube pundits and podcasters dissected the podcast segment, with some suggesting Snoop’s frustration was directed less at LGBTQ+ representation per se and more at being forced into explaining sexuality of any kind to children during a movie. Others insist his objections and tone can’t be separated from a wider tradition of coded homophobia in celebrity culture. Instagram and TikTok were flooded with videos debating whether Snoop’s discomfort is about kids’ exposure to adult themes or a deeper bias.

No major new music, business partnerships, or endorsements have been announced this week, with discussion dominated by the fallout from his remarks. Unless Snoop issues a clarifying statement or the AFL reconsiders its position, this episode seems set to remain a prominent chapter in his ongoing legacy and a flashpoint for debates about representation in pop culture.
