About this listen
Snoop Dogg has dominated headlines this week after his comments on LGBTQ representation in children’s movies ignited fresh controversy. The drama began when Snoop recounted on the It’s Giving podcast how his grandson was confused by a same-sex couple raising a child in Pixar’s Lightyear and asked, “Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman?” Snoop’s candid admission that he was “scared to go to the movies” and “didn’t have an answer” for his grandson was picked up everywhere, from BET to The Hollywood Reporter, and quickly went viral. Critics accused him of perpetuating homophobia, with TS Madison directly challenging him on TMZ Live and fans calling for his removal from the upcoming AFL Grand Final in Australia.
The controversy escalated when an apologetic comment appeared from Snoop’s official Instagram addressing the backlash, saying, “I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons… my bad for not knowing the answers for a 6-year-old, teach me how to learn, I’m not perfect.” However, Snoop’s representative told The Hollywood Reporter and Consequence that the statement was “fake” and posted by someone else without his approval. There’s still no formal apology or follow-up comment from Snoop himself as of this reporting.
On the business and touring front, Snoop Dogg is slated to hit New Zealand for a special one-off show on September 20, branded as a “Snoop Dogg vs DJ Snoopadelic” double bill, just before his major appearance at the 2025 AFL Grand Final in Melbourne at the end of the month. Local acts Savage and Revus will open for him. This show marks Snoop’s return to New Zealand after his 2023 concerts, where he famously received hand-made art pieces from Kiwi youth.
Meanwhile, Snoop’s ongoing work with collaborators is making headlines too. October London, a key Death Row Records artist and Snoop protégé, has just unveiled a country alter-ego and co-founded New London Films, a TV and film production company, plus launched business ventures in whiskey, cigars, and the Doggyland children’s music project.
Social media remains a battleground for Snoop, with users continuing to debate his stance on LGBTQ issues, especially in relation to his own history of provocative music videos and support for artistic expression. Whether his recent controversy leaves a lasting mark on his legacy or is just another blip in an otherwise visionary career remains to be seen, but for now, Snoop Dogg is the center of a cultural storm with his next moves watched worldwide.
