Snoop Dogg is no longer scared of queer people in children's media
Snoop Dogg is no longer scared of queer people in children's media
Welcome to 2025, Snoop.
From one of the Related Articles :
“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,” Snoop Dogg wrote. “My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old 😳. Teach me how to learn I’m not perfect.”
Good on his friends for calling him in.
Whatever his reasons for "going woke", I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.
Yeah, if we can't accept people changing their minds, then we will always lose everything every time.
This is exactly what we should be looking for...
Grandad says something bigoted.
Younger people educate grandad.
Grandad publicly acknowledges that he was wrong and gives others an opportunity for others to do the same?
How do you complain about that?
Preach.
When people come around we have to respect it. Some jokes along the way are cool too especially here which is practically offline (small circle of friends).
Hopefully we can all remember a stupid view we once had and if we apply the Lucky 10,000 concept we know that we happened to be challenged on it when we were young. Someone was older when they started to see things more equitably? Welcome to the light side!
this isn't about love and acceptance. it's about marketing lmao. snoop said some shit he knew would get him in the headlines and now he's using that as an opportunity to plug his new TV show. he's been doing this for decades. maybe lgbt people are tired of their struggles being exploited for a chance to sell eyeballs to advertisers?
Oh how about Uncle Tom playing Trump’s inauguration and this is all a publicity stunt to move passed that noise?
Fuck this removed ass forever
Being black and LGBT is really hard, and if the black community doesn't cancel him and maybe even listens, this is huge.
Oh come off it. Nobody in "the Black community" is listening to Calvin Broadus.
It's hella weird to act like "the Black community" needs to learn to be less homophobic from this wack 🥷🏾. I need you to look at the white community making drag shows illegal, burning books about queer people, and firing Black women while you're at it.
Americans have a problem with homophobia. Stop acting like Black people are singularly homophobic.
People really need to cut people some slack. If this is genuine and I feel it is he's learning. People are allowed to change.
Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.
Nah, trust but verify.
Calvin Broadus is 53 years old and was famous before the turn of century. He didn't accidentally fall into Trump's campaign celebrations and he decided on his own to complain about gay people for no reason. If he didn't expect to catch push back for that then he can demonstrate a change, not just do a cameo and expect everyone to forget AAAALLL the shady shit he's done over the years.
Judge someone like you got some sense, not like their latest PR campaign is the gospel truth.
Whatever his reasons for “going woke”, I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.
Yeah, mixed feelings, it's kind of like when massive corporations go pinkwashing. Sure, it's better than the alternative, but they're not your friend and you can't trust them.
lol covering his sexist ass for the sake of his profitability.
I lived long enough to watch gangsters turn into posers

Greed is a hell of a drug.
Frankly, it’s the most “gangster” thing he’s done in a while. Most gangsters are bigots. It’s a low education background
Most of them are "studio gangsters" who tell imaginary stories they just make up.
They were all just used and marketed by businessmen.
and transphobia.
There is always something to critique, huh? I think it's positive that he has changed his stance regarding LGBTQ+ and even made a children's song spreading the message that love is love. We need more inclusion, acceptance and tolerance in this society.
If Snoop is smart enough to spread a positive message and earn money at the same time, then good for him. At least he is trying to spread positivity to the world.
All he saw was his bottom line dropping and backpedaled.
Did you forget the Trump event he played at? 😂
That’s not someone who has goodness in their heart. He’s an opportunist and business man who is more likely to end up heading events in Dubai with Dave Chappell over doing something meaningful to spite the oligarchs that are actively seeking to kill LGBTQ+ individuals.
FUCK SNOOP FOREVER FOR PLAYING TRUMP’S INAUGURATION
Oh he’s not a bigot anymore? Cool thanks for telling us Uncle Tom
Anyone who has shilled for the fascist regime needs to do a lot of work to regain any kind of respect. If he's not going to use his platform to unapologetically oppose Trump then he deserves none.
This is the kind of criticism I can get behind. Good on him for changing his view on this, but everything else is still problematic.
Good on him for walking it back, but you have friends that are LGBT and you still felt comfortable saying that stuff? Snoop can get his bag elsewhere because I won't support him again
meh knowing Snoop I'd take what he says with a grain of salt and see what sponsorships/deals he has coming up and if any are potentially backed or support the LGBTQ+ community
the mans opinions change based on where the cheques come from. If he did make this change in thought without any financial basis then good for him.
Maybe some people in his life have been trying to help him escape the MAGA mindset after he did those events for Trump.
Maybe it’s Maybelline.
Regardless of his actions I trust Snoop with absolutely nothing, he has no morals the only driving factor is money. Like I love some of his music but don't take anything he says at face value; he will partner with both left wing and right wing at the same time just to get that little more cash
How far we have fallen that not being a terroristic bigot lunatic is considered left wing.
This motherfucker danced for Trump. I don't really give a shit anymore.
Snoop dog traded a actual lifetime of G credit away for a paycheck to sing and dance for a wannabe dictator.
I made a 90s playlist recently. Fully omitted snoop dog. He has some bangers but I'm good without him.
But he's still a Trump supporter, right?
This dude will do and say anything to stay relevant for even a second longer. I don't believe you you removed ass chihuahua
he couldve stayed relevant longer if he dint shill for trump.
Oh look, misogynist rap dude is an asshole. Big surprise.
a FAKE gangbanger too, acitng "HARD"
castrated Dogg, sukin trump tiny dick
removed is ded
Fuck him. He made his bed, he can lay in it. Fake ass poser.
Snoop dog sold out the hood to be a corporate schill, fuck him
Same with Dre and Ice Cube. Like in how many movies did Cube play a cop.
"All you know about me, is what I sold you."
Every celebrity ever.
Cube is also a maga guy at this point too.
I didn't expect that, but good on him and glaad
He may be a complete piece of shit, but he can afford a crack PR team.
I can’t believe this soft ass theatre kid who decided he wanted to be a piece of shit gangster after the fact, and ended up with a murder beef among other things, ever fooled people into thinking he was a good guy or role model. He’s always been an idiot and im sure he says far worse things behind closed doors.
We talkin' bout Tupac again?
Honestly yes, people may look at him fondly but he made stupid decisions that cost him his life. He should have just stayed in the studio
I will always give Snoop this; Man been with his wife through thick and thin. He got rich and famous, could have kicked her to the curb for a super model, or 10. Tells me he has some sort of moral core.
Is that sarcasm?
Nonetheless, I give him credit for staying married for as long as he did. It's not like he left his wife while she had cancer.
That being said, he went right with ice cube. Fuck both.
Snoop is a little removed. Soft and stupid.
Martha is more gangster than snoop.
Do people just turn into dicks when they get older or was he always like this
Older, sometimes. Richer 100% of the time.
If anything, Snoop has become less of a dick as he has gotten older...
As Billy Connolly ones said, if you’re a miserable young bastard, you’ll just be an old miserable bastard.
Wealth
Some are always shitty bigots from an early age
the weed perhaps
Try the money.
he got paid to say both of the thing. he couldnt care less about gay people.
This guy, man. Every other week it seems there's a reason for the Internet to do a 180 on their collective opinion of him. In this case, credit is due. We could all have more humility as a society.
Now he just needs to apologize for playing an event at Trump's inauguration.
I'm old enough to have watched gangsta rap turn into glitter rap. Dawg, you sold out. Just own it.
Did the shiny suit era ever really end?
Well, at least he eventually did the right thing in the end. A lot of people in the comments are still roasting him for potential being disingenuous, but I'll give credit where it's due - biting people's heads off after they chose to do the right thing after (well deserved) backlash doesn't send the correct message to others that it's worth it to listen to negative feedback rather than dig in their heels deeper.
The end? Is he dead now? Was this some kind of death-bed confession or something? Did he at least donate his time to the cause that he got paid so much to tear down?
Oh, no, he's just getting paid by someone new now. He doesn't need credit, he cashed in just fine on MAGA and now he'd also like a check from the gays. The correct message is 'Working for the nazis leaves a stain on your reputation that a compensated non-apology will not wash away'
Are you by any chance a battered spouse, eager to accept any insincerity?
Welcome to lemmy. Nothing changes, and if something change then it's false and if it isn't then it's too little too late. This site is so bloody hellbent on being downer collective that it's slowly driving me away.
I don't buy it tbh.
Trump has some competition for that Nobel peace prize now
Still can’t believe he sold his soul to Trump.
A lot of of "old media" celebrities are big into Trump and the right wing these days. I guess it is new things being pushed for by progressives like trans rights and acceptance, even more equality for women, etc make them uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. So they retreat to something that feels safe by comparison.
Well, they both have sex trafficked women. (Snoop claims to have put together and managed a prostitution ring in 2003)
Hes just showing solidarity to a fellow criminal.
Dumb ass ninja saw his dollars disappearing. So now he protects his money train. I’m done with Snoop. He’s an Uncle Tom mother fucker. He can get fucked.
Now this is character development. Happy for him.
You're not relevant, Snoop. Go away.
So someone paid him to change his opinion? Not exactly news. Dude is a walking "for sale" sign.
Okay Uncle Snoop.
Is that an effect of sucking trump's tiny cock?
He’s only 60 pounds when he’s wet and wearin' boots.
2025? This doesn't even get him into the current millennium.
Grooming = bad.
Good. Let the love flow through you. Give in to the light.
The Light Side of the Force us a pathway to some abilities many consider to be natural
Maan that's a naff music video, Dogg. I accept your penance, welcome back to humanity.
