“What you see is what you see, and they’re putting it everywhere,” the rapper said.

He’s been charged with drug and firearm possession, and went to trial with his bodyguard on charges of murdering a gang member. He grew up with the Crips in LA. He even survived making mashed potatoes with Martha Stewart. You’d think nothing could crack the courage of one of the most accomplished hip-hop and rap artists of all time. But the internet just learned what can wreak terror in Snoop Dogg’s heart:
The sight of a lesbian couple with a child on the screen.
“Why my grandson in the middle of the movie like, ‘Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman? She a woman,’” Snoop said during an Aug. 20 podcast, about the movie, Pixar’s Lightyear. “I didn’t come here for this s–t, I just came to watch the goddamn movie.”
Snoop was referencing a scene which shows a female character Alisha Hawthorne (voiced by Uzo Aduba) and her wife, Kiko and their son. The couple share a kiss.

According to Billboard, that scene alone had the pic banned in multiple countries in 2022, including the UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. It also had U.S. conservatives terrified that Disney was pushing a pro-queer agenda.
As a result, Disney cut the kiss scene after the initial pandemonium broke. Queer staff and allies protested; their advocacy for keeping a moment of gay affection in the film was also a response to the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” that had recently passed in Florida. The biggest impact they could make, they wrote to Disney in a memo: creating a more inclusive world through the content they produce. Ultimately, Disney put the celluloid back in.
Snoop, known to his grandkids as Papa Noop, told the It’s a Giving podcast interviewer, “So it’s like, f–k me, I’m scared to go to the movies now. Like, y’all throwing me in the middle of s–t that I don’t have an answer for.” He said it threw him for a loop. “We have to show that at this age? Like, they’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”
Commenters on the podcast’s YouTube page had ideas.
One person wrote, ” How to explain where two women got a child? — ADOPTION. Someone heterosexual abandoned a child and lesbian couple took this child in their family.” Another commented, ” Wow. I am so embarrassed that I ever liked him. And I spoke positively about him to my kids….That me, a girl, and my wife have. Why does everybody hate us? Why can’t we be represented in anything without straight people freaking out? It’s not an agenda. Sometimes we just wanna see ourselves in media and entertainment. Is that so wrong?”
