Snoop Dogg’s ‘Lightyear’ Remarks Put His Voice Role Under Scrutiny

A production insider says the NBC show found the comments problematic, with no official sanction announced.

Overview

  • Snoop Dogg said on the It’s Giving podcast that a brief same-sex kiss in Pixar’s Lightyear led his grandson to ask about two women having a baby, adding the moment left him “scared to go to the movies.”
  • The Marin Independent Journal, citing The Sun’s unnamed source, reported The Voice producers were unhappy and that he is “on the outs,” a claim not confirmed by NBC or the show.
  • Hosts of The Breakfast Club defended him, arguing parents shouldn’t be pushed into explaining relationships during a children’s movie and saying they might address such questions later.
  • LGBTQ+ advocates criticized his remarks as harmful, with the LGBT Foundation emphasizing that visibility in family films helps reduce stigma and supports inclusive representation.
  • Online reaction revived Chris Evans’ 2022 defense of Lightyear’s LGBTQ+ inclusion and resurfaced Snoop Dogg’s 2004 cameo on The L Word as context for the current debate.
