Snoop Dogg kept it all the way real when he stopped by the It’s Giving podcast and admitted he’s “scared” to go to the movies after taking his grandson to see Pixar’s Lightyear. The 2022 animated film, a Toy Story spinoff starring Chris Evans, featured a groundbreaking moment of same-sex representation — but for Snoop, it also opened the door to a conversation he wasn’t prepared for.
He recalled how his grandson had questions about seeing two moms raising a child, which left the rap legend stumbling for answers. “It fucked me up,” Snoop admitted. His honest confession has sparked new discussions about parenting, representation, and how families are processing cultural shifts shown on screen.
Snoop Dogg’s Raw Reaction To His Grandson’s Questions
Snoop Dogg shared that he went into the theater expecting to watch a fun kids’ movie, but things took an unexpected turn. His grandson quickly noticed the LGBTQ+ storyline in Lightyear and started pressing him with tough questions.
Snoop remembered thinking, “Oh shit, I didn’t come in for this shit. I just came to watch the goddamn movie.”
His grandson followed up by asking, “They just said, she and she had a baby — they’re both women. How does she have a baby?”
The legendary rapper confessed: “It fucked me up. 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. 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.”
This moment highlights the challenge many parents and grandparents face — being caught off guard by children’s innocent yet complex questions about relationships, sexuality, and representation.
The Controversy Behind Pixar’s *Lightyear*
When Lightyear premiered in 2022, it made headlines as Pixar’s first movie to feature an openly LGBTQ+ couple and a same-sex kiss. The scene was initially cut, but according to Variety, Pixar employees pushed back against Disney executives who had a history of censoring “overtly gay affection” in films.
After internal debate, the kiss was restored, marking a historic move for Disney and Pixar. However, it also sparked backlash in certain countries where the film was banned for including LGBTQ+ representation.
Chris Evans, who voiced Buzz Lightyear, defended the moment and expressed his frustration at the backlash:
“I mean, it’s great. As great as it is — and you know, I’ve been asked the question a few times — it’s nice, and it’s wonderful, it makes me happy. It’s tough to not feel a bit frustrated that it even has to be a topic of discussion. That it is this kind of ‘news.’ The goal is that we can get to a point where it is the norm, and this doesn’t have to be some uncharted waters, that eventually this is just the way it is.”
