“What you see is what you see, and they’re putting it everywhere,” the 53-year-old rapper said during the Aug. 20 episode of Dr. Sarah Fontenot’s “It’s Giving” podcast.

Snoop explained that he had taken his grandson to see Disney’s 2022 animated release “Lightyear” and was caught off guard by the storyline featuring a character with two moms.

“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!'” he remembered.

“‘Oh sh-t, I didn’t come in for this sh-t,” Snoop, whose full name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., recalled thinking at the time. “I just came to watch the goddamn movie.”

He said his grandson, clearly puzzled, turned to him and asked, “They just said, she and she had a baby — they’re both women. How does she have a baby?”

“So it’s like, f–k me, I’m like scared to go to the movies,” Snoop admitted, adding, “Y’all throwing me in the middle of sh-t that I don’t have an answer for.”

“It threw me for a loop,” Snoop continued. “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.'”

His remarks quickly sparked criticism in the podcast’s YouTube comments section.

“You’re telling me that as a 50+ year old man, you still don’t know how to talk to a kid about same sex parents? Why is that such a difficult concept to grasp?” one viewer wrote in response.

“What a terrible take on the lesbian couple. It’s 2025 & y’all still being homophobic?” another critic said.

“How to explain where two women got a child? — ADOPTION,” a third person suggested, pointing out what they saw as an obvious answer.

“Imagine being Snoop Dogg, the face of weed and murder rap, but scared of representation in a kids movie,” someone on X mocked in a post.

“Whats ever happened to ‘sometimes boy likes boy and girl likes girl and that’s okay’ and calling it a day,” another user commented, pushing back against his viewpoint.

Later in the interview, Snoop shifted the conversation, claiming that “masculinity is being taken out of men” in today’s world.

“I look at commercials. I look at everything that comes on TV. Movies, TV shows, and and it’s always including some form of having a black man not as strong as he could be,” he remarked.

“We showing different sides and different elements of the black man, which is cool, but when you pushing this as the front and forgetting that this is always the lead, because without this (points to himself), we can’t reproduce,” Snoop went on. “We can’t bring tribes of generations into this world when this ain’t in front.”

He then added proudly, “I got 10 grandbabies, ’cause this is the man.”
