Snoop Dogg discovered himself in scorching water Tuesday (May 14) after saying he felt “scared to go to the movies” due to LGBTQ+ content material in a kids’s movie, simply hours after the Australian Football League publicly defended him amid backlash over his upcoming Grand Final efficiency.

During an look on the “It’s Giving” podcast, the Hip-Hop icon defined how a visit to see Disney’s 2022 animated film Lightyear together with his grandson left him feeling caught off guard.

The movie features a same-sex couple and a quick kiss, which led to a second that clearly rattled him.

“Papa Snoop? How’d she have a baby with a woman? She a woman!” his grandson requested, based on Snoop.

Snoop responded bluntly, “Aww s###, I didn’t come here for this s###. I just came to watch the g##### movie.”

He mentioned the questions stored coming.

“I’m scared to go to the movies now. Y’all throwing me in the middle of s### that I don’t have an answer for,” Snoop added. “These are kids. We have to show that at this age? They’re going to have questions. I don’t have the answers.”

One person wrote, “Snoop Dogg was homophobic in the 90s and then became pro-Gay when Obama legalized gay marriage to avoid backlash, and now it’s socially acceptable to hate gay people again so he just went back to how he always was. Biggest sellout in Hip-Hop.”

Another added, “Snoop Dogg has a murder trial and prison sentences in his past but he’s worried about……explaining the existence of lesbians.”

AFL CEO Defends Snoop Dogg Following Upcoming Performance Backlash

The timing of the controversy added gas to the hearth, because it got here simply hours after AFL CEO Andrew Dillon defended the league’s resolution to guide Snoop for the Grand Final in September, regardless of issues over his previous lyrics and public statements.

“We cannot vouch for every lyric in every song ever written or performed by any artist who has appeared on our stage — Australian or international,” Dillon mentioned.

He continued, “It is also important to remember that we engaged Snoop Dogg in 2025 as the person he is today. He has spoken publicly about his past, he has changed, and today he is a grandfather, philanthropist, he helps rehabilitate youth and is a global entertainer who has performed at both the Super Bowl and the Olympic Closing Ceremony to audiences of more than 100 million people.”
