Amid backlash over anti-LGBTQ+ remarks he made about the Pixar movie Lightyear, Snoop Dogg seemingly addressed the controversy on social media.
“I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. All my gay friends [know] what’s up, they been calling me with love,” read a comment on a Hollywood Unlocked Instagram post that looked like it was sent from the rapper’s official Instagram account. “My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6-year-old. Teach me how to learn. I’m not perfect.”
But a source told Deadline on Saturday, August 30, that the post is “is a fake” — and neither Snoop nor anyone on his team wrote that or any statement.
As the National Enquirer previously reported, The Voice coach, 53, is under fire for comments he made on the It’s Giving podcast in August, in which he talked about taking his grandkids to see the 2022 animated film.

A montage in which a pair of lesbians fall in love, get married and raise a child led to questions about same-sex couples that “I don’t have an answer for,” Snoop said.
“My grandson, in the middle of the movie is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!’ ”
“It fed me up,” the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” artist continued. “I’m like, scared to go to the movies now. Y’all throwing me in the middle of s**t that I don’t have an answer for. It threw me for a loop. 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.”
The podcast has since censored his controversial comments, according to Page Six.
