Prince Williams / Getty Images If you didn't know, Season 28 of The Voice airs on Sept. 22 and Snoop is returning as a coach alongside Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, and Michael BublΓ©. So, of course, Snoop is appearing on shows and podcasts leading up to the premiere. Unfortunately, he might've recently used his voice to say the wrong thing. NBC Snoop appeared on the It's Giving podcast to share a story about when he took his grandson to see the 2022 Disney film Lightyear, which featured same-sex parents and their child. Disney Plus "It fucked me up," Snoop complained, adding that he "didn't come in for this shit" and he's "scared to go to movies," now. Paras Griffin / Getty Images "Y'all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don't have an answer for," he told podcast host Sarah Fontenot. "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.'" Snoop's comments were met with backlash, including a comment from actor and media personality Ts Madison. She first spoke with TMZ Live, saying, "Snoop Dogg has historically been an advocate against censoring, and his fame is based on expression. So my question is, Snoop. You have music videos with women dancing and kissing other women, dancing naked. So why is displaying lesbian behavior in your music videos appropriate? And you are afraid to answer the questions from your grandchildren?" Derek White / Getty Images But, when Ts followed up on her X account, it prompted Snoop to respond after Hollywood Unlocked reshared the post. She wrote, "ANNND ANOTHER Thing!........ It's too many Black men creating broken families and Homes that all of a sudden have HIGH family morals and Values when it comes to the Topic of the Queer community and Our Visibility!" @TsMaidsonatl1 / x.com "I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons," Snoop commented. "all my gay friends no what's up they been calling me with love π my bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old π³," before adding, "teach me how to learn I'm not perfect ππΏππΎπΎ" @hollywoodunlocked / instagram.com I give the apology a 6 out of 10. Ts Madison makes a fair point, and before someone says that Snoop's music is for adults and Lightyear is for children, I was only 5-6 years old when I first became interested in Snoop's debut album Doggystyle. Death Row/Interscope Records, Inc The album was covered in cartoons, so how was I supposed to know it wasn't for me? Unfortunately for my parents, I could read pretty well and asked why the album was called Doggystyle. It 100% threw my parents "for a loop" and put them "in the middle of shit" they didn't have an answer for, using Snoop's words. Death Row/Interscope Records, Inc The only difference is that Snoop's album was a cartoon intended to be explicitly sexual, and Lightyear was just two moms holding their baby. Double standards? Sometimes it's not what your kid doesn't know about LGBTQ+ people that prompts them to ask questions, but what they were already taught about heteronormativity that confuses them. At least, that's my experience. Let's do better.
