On the "It's Giving" podcast, Snoop Dogg recounted how he was surprised by his grandson's question while watching the film Lightyear.

He revealed that his grandson asked,"Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman!"

Rather than answer his grandson’s inquiry about the family, Snoop said he told him, “Hey man, watch the movie.”

But the little one still had questions, asking the rapper, “Uh uh. They just said, she and she had a baby. They’re both women. How did she have a baby?”

Snoop Dogg admitted he didn't have an answer to that question and felt uncomfortable with the scene he saw.

“Oh s---," the musician recalled thinking in the theater.

"I didn’t come here for this s---. I just came to watch the goddamn movie."

He even stated, "I'm afraid to go to the movies now, because they put it (LGBTQ+ representation) everywhere."

The film Lightyear itself features the character Alisha Hawthorne, Buzz Lightyear's sidekick, who is depicted as married to her partner Kiko and has a child.

The same-sex kiss between Alisha and Kiko was initially removed, but restored after protests from Pixar staff.

Snoop Dogg's discomfort with LGBTQ+ issues is nothing new and has been in the spotlight several times.

This isn't the first time he has faced scrutiny for his views on these issues.

Snoop Dogg has previously been criticized for using language deemed homophobic and transphobic.

In 2015, he referred to Caitlyn Jenner as a "science project," sparking public outrage.

Furthermore, in 2014, he used an anti-gay slur in an Instagram post that was later deleted.

These comments have contributed to ongoing concerns about Snoop Dogg's public stance toward the LGBTQ+ community.
