Snoop Dogg Rep Denies Rapper Apologised For Comments About Lesbian Couple In Disney Film

Snoop Dogg at the BET Awards earlier this yearSnoop Dogg’s team has denied recent reports claiming that the rapper issued an apology over recent comments he made about a same-sex relationship depicted in the Disney movie Lightyear.Last month, the 17-time Grammy nominee came under fire when he appeared on the podcast It’s Giving, claiming he was “scared to go to the movies” since watching the Toy Story spin-off with his grandson, who asked him a question about a lesbian couple in the film who had a child.He said: “My grandson, in the middle of the movie, is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman’. Ah, shit. I didn’t come in for this shit, I just came to watch the goddamn movie.”Snoop added: “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,” he added. “I’m like, these are kids, we have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”The family in question shown in the Pixar film LightyearAfter facing allegations of homophobia over his remarks, it was widely reported that Snoop had shared a low-key apology on Instagram, under a clip of his interview.The comment – which Deadline claimed was posted by Snoop’s verified account before being deleted – supposedly said: “I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. All my gay friends [know] what’s up, [they’ve] been calling me with love. My bad for not knowing the answers for a [six-year-old]. Teach me how to learn. I’m not perfect.”However, the Drop It Like It’s Hot performer’s spokesperson has since told The Hollywood Reporter that this comment is “fake”, and was not written by Snoop himself.Snoop Dogg did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment last week.Posting about the controversy on Threads last week, screenwriter Lauren Gunderson said: “I created the Lightyear lesbians. In 2018, I was a writer at Pixar – such a cool place, grateful to work there, learned a ton from kind and impressive creatives.“As we wrote early versions of what became Lightyear, a key character needed a partner, and it was so natural to write ‘she’ instead of ‘he’. As small as that detail is in the film, I knew the representational effect it could have. Small line, big deal. I was elated that they kept it.“I’m proud of it. To infinity. Love is love.”She also wrote that Snoop “sucks” for his comments, and hopes that he “joins the side of love” in the future.READ MORE:Snoop Dogg Responds To Critics After Backlash Over Performance At Pro-Trump EventChris Evans Blasts Haters Upset Over Gay Kiss In Lightyear: ‘Those People Are Idiots’
