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?
Being black and LGBT is really hard, and if the black community doesn't cancel him and maybe even listens, this is huge.
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.
lol covering his sexist ass for the sake of his profitability.
I lived long enough to watch gangsters turn into posers
Whenever I see Eminem im like “dude smile, you’re a 50 something billionaire, nobody thinks you’re hard”
That's so true lol. My 10 year old daughter almost shit herself when I told her he's literally a grandpa.
I lived long enough to watch gangsters turn into posers
Greed is a hell of a drug.
Are gangsters preferable? Doesn't sound like either end of that spectrum is great, but I'd prefer my suburb be full of posers.
Honestly in this political climate, I'll take it. He could have easily taken a hard right turn
He played at Trumps inaugural Crypto Ball.
You can’t turn much farther right than that.
In Bo Burnham voice: His $27 8-packs weren't selling very well, those sorts of problems.
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.
I hear he sucked Trump's dick to play at the inauguration.
Many people are saying it
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.
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
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.
This motherfucker danced for Trump. I don't really give a shit anymore.
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 bitch ass chihuahua
castrated Dogg, sukin trump tiny dick
bitch is ded
Fuck him. He made his bed, he can lay in it. Fake ass poser.
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 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.
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.
