During a recent edition of the It’s Giving podcast, the rapper recalled taking his grandson to watch the 2022 Toy Story spin-off, Lightyear. The film was reportedly banned in 14 countries over a scene that featured a same-sex kiss.
“I didn’t come in for this shit. I just came to watch the goddamn movie,” Snoop explained, adding that the moment “fucked me up”. The star said his grandson asked him how two women could have a baby, but he was at a loss for words.
He continued: “I’m like, scared to go to the movies. Y’all throwing me in the middle of shit that I don’t have an answer for… It threw me for a loop.
Snoop went on to reiterate his belief that LGBTQ+ themes shouldn’t be included in children’s films. “We have to show that at this age?” he said. “They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”

The scene in question depicted a lesbian space ranger named Alisha and her partner sharing a brief kiss. It had originally been cut by Disney, but was reinstated after Pixar animators penned an open letter criticising the company for censoring “overtly gay affection” in its films.
Lightyear was given an NC16 (Some Mature Content) rating in Singapore due to its “overt homosexual depictions”.
According to Consequence, Snoop’s comments appear to have been edited out of the video interview on YouTube. However, you can see a clip in the post above.
Pixar introduced its first lesbian character in 2020’s Onward. Last year, Disney removed a transgender storyline from the Pixar animated coming-of-age series Win Or Lose. Chanel Stewart, who plays the character in question, said she was “very disheartened” by the decision.
Stewart added: “From the moment I got the script, I was excited to share my journey to help empower other trans youth. I knew this would be a very important conversation. Trans stories matter, and they deserve to be heard.”
In other news, Snoop Dogg recently became a co-owner and investor at Swansea City A.F.C. after taking a minority stake in the club. Meanwhile, a biopic based on the rapper’s life and career is currently in the works.
