The rapper and hip-hop icon shared on a recent episode of the It's Giving Podcast that he was taken by surprise when he took his grandchildren to see Pixar's Toy Story spinoff, as it featured a montage of two women sharing a kiss and raising a child together. He said this led to a whole bunch of questions from his grandchildren about same-sex couples that he said, "I don't have an answer for." "They're like, 'She had a baby - with another woman,'" Snoop recalled on the podcast, which appears to have since deleted his comments on the matter from the YouTube episode. "Well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie is like, 'Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She's a woman!'"

I just came to watch the goddamn movie." Snoop said he tried telling his grandson, "Hey man, just watch the movie," but that he just kept firing off questions: "'They just said, she and she had a baby - they're both women. How does she have a baby?'" "It fucked me up," the "Drop It Like It's Hot" artist added. "I'm like, scared to go to the movies now. Y'all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don't have an answer for. It threw me for a loop. 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." Lightyear, the origin story of the human Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear, featured Chris Evans' voice as the beloved character. The animated pic also included an LGBTQ relationship between Buzz's best friend and commander, Alisha Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba), and her wife, Kiko, with glimpses of their life as a couple and an onscreen kiss. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that the same-sex kiss was nearly cut from the film during the creative process, but after internal backlash from employees around Disney's previous public silence on Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill, the kiss was reinstated in the final cut.
