Snoop Dogg said on the 20 Aug episode of the “It’s Giving” podcast that he is “scared to go to the movies” after taking his grandson to watch Disney/Pixar’s 2022 film “Lightyear”. The rapper, 53, recounted being caught off guard when the film’s character Alisha Hawthorne is shown marrying a woman and raising a child, telling listeners, “I didn’t come in for this s--t. I just came to watch the goddamn movie.” He questioned whether such themes should be presented to young audiences, noting that his grandson immediately asked how two women could have a baby. The remarks have triggered a wave of criticism from LGBTQ advocates and entertainment commentators, who accuse the rapper of promoting homophobia and ignoring the scarcity of queer representation in children’s media. A June 2025 GLAAD report found only two children’s films released last year included LGBTQ characters, a 62 percent decline from 2023. Social-media users have urged event promoters to reconsider Snoop Dogg’s forthcoming bookings, reviving controversy around “Lightyear”, which was banned in several Middle-Eastern markets after Pixar reinstated a brief same-sex kiss.
