Snoop Dogg has stepped into the spotlight once again, this time addressing his controversial remarks regarding a same-sex couple in Disney’s "Lightyear." Following a wave of backlash, the rapper admitted, "My bad," in a candid Instagram comment.

In a recent social media post, which featured commentary from Hollywood Unlocked, Snoop laid bare his feelings. "I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons," he reflected. His outpouring of support from LGBTQ+ friends didn't go unnoticed, as he called for understanding: "Teach me how to learn. I’m not perfect."

A Surprising Trip to the Movies

The controversy erupted during a recent appearance on the podcast "It’s Giving…" where Snoop recounts a trip to the cinema with his grandson. In a moment that caught him off guard, his grandson asked, "Papa Snoop? How can she have a baby with a woman?" Snoop humorously lamented, "I just came to watch the goddamn movie!" Despite his attempts to steer the conversation away from the tough topic, his grandson kept pressing for answers.

"I’m scared to go to the movies now," Snoop joked, expressing his frustration at being thrust into uncomfortable discussions. He candidly admitted that the scene in question took him by surprise, stating, "What part of the movie was this? These are kids. We have to show that at this age?"

Support from the Creative Team

On the same day, "Lightyear" screenwriter Lauren Gunderson chimed in on the issue, proudly taking responsibility for the inclusion of the same-sex couple. "So. I created the LIGHTYEAR lesbians," she announced on Instagram, explaining her decision as a natural progression in storytelling.

Gunderson emphasized the importance of representation in media, noting, "Small line, big deal. I was elated that they kept it." Echoing Snoop's sentiments, she underlined the significance of showcasing diverse love stories, saying, "To infinity. Love is love." Her remarks further spotlighted the growing importance of inclusivity in children's media.

The conversation surrounding Snoop Dogg's remarks and Gunderson's defense illustrates a shifting cultural dialogue around representation—especially in family-friendly films.
