Overview

  • Snoop Dogg said on the It’s Giving podcast he was “afraid to go to the cinema” after his grandson asked about a same‑sex couple in Pixar’s Lightyear and he had no answer.
  • He complained that LGBTQ+ themes are shown “everywhere” in children’s movies and questioned whether such topics should be presented at that age.
  • Social media users criticized his response as a missed chance to give a child‑appropriate explanation rather than deflecting the questions.
  • Australian outlet 9 News, as cited by Stern, reported calls for him to be replaced as the headline act at the upcoming AFL Grand Final.
  • Coverage notes he has not issued a corrective statement, and reports say he shared the podcast host Dr. Sarah Fontenot’s post on Instagram.
