Overview

• On the It’s Giving podcast, Snoop Dogg said he felt uncomfortable taking his grandson to Pixar’s Lightyear after the child asked about a same-sex couple having a baby.
• He recounted telling his grandson to keep watching rather than answering, adding that the experience left him “scared to go to the movies.”
• The podcast segment featuring the remarks was later removed from the episode on YouTube, though clips continue to circulate on other platforms.
• Criticism quickly mounted on social media, including demands that he be removed as the headline act for the Australian Football League Grand Final.
• Coverage notes Lightyear’s brief same-sex kiss was nearly cut then reinstated after employee pushback, and the film faced bans or age restrictions in countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Singapore, while outlets also reference Snoop’s past controversial statements about LGBTQ people.
