Rapper Snoop Dogg is once again at the center of controversy, but this time it’s about whether he actually extended apology for his earlier remarks on LGBTQ+ representation in films.
According to his team, the apology messages making rounds online are completely false.

Last month, Snoop created a stir after sharing his reaction to watching Disney’s animated film ‘Lightyear’ with his grandson. The movie features a same-sex couple raising a child, and Snoop said the scene left him uncomfortable and confused.

On the “It’s Giving” podcast, he recalled how his grandson turned to him during the movie and asked, “Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She a woman.”
Snoop admitted he didn’t know what to say and joked, “I didn’t come in for this, I just came to watch the movie.”
He went on to say that moments like these make him “scared to go to the movies” because he doesn’t always have answers for his grandson’s questions. His remarks quickly spread online, drawing criticism from many who felt he was being homophobic.
Soon after, screenshots of an Instagram comment, allegedly written by Snoop, started circulating.
In that comment, the account seemed to ask for an apology, saying Snoop Dogg was “just caught off guard,” and adding that his gay friends had shown him love despite the situation. It also said, “My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6-year-old. Teach me how to learn, I’m not perfect.”
But according to The Hollywood Reporter, Snoop’s representatives are denying that he ever wrote those words. They told the outlet that the so-called apology is “fake.”
Even though the message appeared under Snoop’s verified Instagram account, his team insists it was not posted by the rapper or anyone connected to him. Sources close to him echoed the same point to Deadline. They stressed that no one from his official camp made those comments.
