Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Broadus Jr., has sparked debate after remarks made on the It’s Giving podcast about LGBTQ representation in children’s movies.
The 52-year-old rapper recalled attending a Pixar film screening with his grandson, where he noticed a same-sex couple depicted on screen.
His grandson asked about the characters, which Snoop admitted left him unprepared.
“I wasn’t ready to have that conversation with him at that age,” he said.
Snoop questioned whether introducing such themes in family movies was appropriate for younger audiences.
His comments have triggered widespread reaction. Supporters argue that LGBTQ visibility is important for inclusivity and normalizing diversity, while critics counter that such exposure may introduce topics too early for some children to process.
The discussion has extended beyond Snoop’s personal views, touching on broader debates about parenting, education, and cultural representation.
