Snoop Dogg's comment

During the podcast, the 53-year-old recalled watching the animated film Lightyear with his grandson. He shared that he was unsettled by a storyline in which one of the film’s protagonists, Alisha Hawthorne, is seen raising a child with her wife. The rapper said, “They’re like, ‘She had a baby — with another woman’. 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 rapper added that he was caught off guard by the moment. He recalled, “Oh s**t, I didn’t come in for this s**t. I just came to watch the goddamn movie.” He added that his grandson continued questioning the logic of the scene, sharing, “‘They just said, she and she had a baby — they’re both women. How does she have a baby?’” Snoop revealed that the exchange “f****ed me up. 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.”
