Snoop Dogg criticized LGBTQIA+ storylines in children’s movies after watching a Pixar movie that featured a same-sex couple with his grandson.
“What you see is what you see. They’re putting it everywhere,” the “Gin & Juice” rapper recently shared on the “It’s Giving” podcast.
Snoop, born Calvin Broadus Jr., said he took his grandson to see the 2022 Pixar film “Lightyear, where a lesbian couple welcomes a baby together.
“Well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie, is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!’” the 16-time Grammy nominee, 53, recalled.
“Oh s–t. I didn’t come in for this s–t. I just came to watch the goddamn movie,” he added.
“I’m like, scared to go to the movies. Y’all throwing me in the middle of s–t that I don’t have an answer for.”
As for how Snoop dealt with his grandson’s question, he recalled simply ignoring the young one’s question and urging him to eat his popcorn instead.
“It threw me for a loop,” the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” emcee continued.
“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,” he added.
The same-sex storyline in “Lightyear,” a spinoff of Pixar’s popular “Toy Story” films, made headlines when it first hit theaters.
In the movie, Uzo Aduba’s character, Alisha Hawthorne — a space ranger and close friend of Buzz Lightyear — and her wife share a smooch, marking the first time a gay kiss was depicted in a Pixar animated feature film.
Amid backlash, the scene was briefly cut from the film but was later restored after Disney and Pixar employees slammed the company for censoring LGBTQIA+ content.
Due to the inclusion of the same-sex storyline, the film was banned in several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
