Snoop Dogg Apologizes for “Lightyear” Comments: “I’m Still Learning”
Snoop Dogg is setting the record straight after sparking backlash over a comment he made about Pixar’s Lightyear. The 52-year-old rapper, who has never been shy about speaking his mind, is now apologizing and promising to do better after fans called his remarks “homophobic.”
The drama started earlier this month when Snoop appeared on a podcast. During the chat, he joked about being caught off guard by the same-sex couple featured in the animated movie. He explained that his six-year-old grandson peppered him with questions during the film, and he wasn’t ready for the conversation. Laughing at the moment, Snoop said, “I didn’t come in for this s***. I just came to watch the godd*** movie.”
The comment didn’t sit well with many fans online. TV personality Ts Madison even spoke out on TMZ Live, saying she felt his words were rooted in homophobia. Social media users echoed that sentiment, calling on the music legend to rethink his approach.
Now, Snoop is owning up to it. In a heartfelt Instagram comment, he explained that he wasn’t trying to be disrespectful, just unprepared. “I didn’t know what to say,” he admitted, adding that his real friends, including some who are gay, know who he truly is.
According to Snoop, those friends have been reaching out with support amid the controversy.
The West Coast icon also emphasized that he’s still learning. “I’m not perfect,” he wrote, promising to educate himself and listen to those who can help him grow. Fans praised the move, with some noting that it takes humility to admit when you’ve gotten something wrong.
For Snoop, it’s a reminder that even someone who’s been in the spotlight for decades can face teachable moments. And as he put it, he’s willing to hear how he can improve.
Looks like the Doggfather is proving that growth doesn’t stop with age — and that even legends can still learn new tricks.
