Snoop Dogg tells critics he’s ‘not perfect’

Snoop Dogg has admitted he is "not perfect" after facing a backlash over his criticism of a storyline in the kids' flick, Lightyear.

The 52-year-old rapper was slammed last week after he claimed he was now "scared" to take his grandchildren to the cinema after being caught off-guard by the fact astronaut Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba) had a child with her wife in the 2022 Disney Pixar film, but he's now spoken out about it.

Snoop commented beneath a video from Hollywood Unlocked about his remarks: "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. My bad for not knowing the answers for a six-year-old. Teach me how to learn. I'm not perfect.(sic)"

Snoop's comments came under a video from trans entertainer T.S. Madison, who questioned why Snoop was unhappy with the scene in Lightyear but was happy to depict "women dancing and kissing other women, dancing naked" in his music videos and argued his remarks were "rooted in a little bit of homophobia".

The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker had questioned why same-sex relationships needed to be featured in movies aimed towards children.

He said on the It's Giving podcast: "(The kids) are 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!'"

Snoop added: "Oh ... I didn't come in for this ..... I just came to watch the movie.

"They just said, 'She and she had a baby - they're both women. How does she have a baby?' It [expletive] me up. I'm like, scared to go to the movies. Y'all throwing me in the middle of [expletive] that I don't have an answer for... it threw me for a loop.

"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."
