Welcome to 2025, Snoop.
From one of the Related Articles :
“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,” Snoop Dogg wrote. “My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old 😳. Teach me how to learn I’m not perfect.”
Good on his friends for calling him in.
Whatever his reasons for “going woke”, I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.
Yeah, if we can’t accept people changing their minds, then we will always lose everything every time.
This is exactly what we should be looking for…
Grandad says something bigoted.
Younger people educate grandad.
Grandad publicly acknowledges that he was wrong and gives others an opportunity for others to do the same?
How do you complain about that?
Preach.
When people come around we have to respect it. Some jokes along the way are cool too especially here which is practically offline (small circle of friends).
Hopefully we can all remember a stupid view we once had and if we apply the Lucky 10,000 concept we know that we happened to be challenged on it when we were young. Someone was older when they started to see things more equitably? Welcome to the light side!
this isn’t about love and acceptance. it’s about marketing lmao. snoop said some shit he knew would get him in the headlines and now he’s using that as an opportunity to plug his new TV show. he’s been doing this for decades. maybe lgbt people are tired of their struggles being exploited for a chance to sell eyeballs to advertisers?
Being black and LGBT is really hard, and if the black community doesn’t cancel him and maybe even listens, this is huge.
Oh come off it. Nobody in “the Black community” is listening to Calvin Broadus.
It’s hella weird to act like “the Black community” needs to learn to be less homophobic from this wack 🥷🏾. I need you to look at the white community making drag shows illegal, burning books about queer people, and firing Black women while you’re at it.
Americans have a problem with homophobia. Stop acting like Black people are singularly homophobic.
Bingo. This is literally playing life on insane difficulty. Anything that can help is a boon.
People really need to cut people some slack. If this is genuine and I feel it is he’s learning. People are allowed to change.
Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.
Nah, trust but verify.
Calvin Broadus is 53 years old and was famous before the turn of century. He didn’t accidentally fall into Trump’s campaign celebrations and he decided on his own to complain about gay people for no reason. If he didn’t expect to catch push back for that then he can demonstrate a change, not just do a cameo and expect everyone to forget AAAALLL the shady shit he’s done over the years.
Judge someone like you got some sense, not like their latest PR campaign is the gospel truth.
So for the Trump thing. He’s rich and has been for decades. He wasn’t always rich. Sometimes we need reminders of where we came from. That’s exceedingly hard when everyone around you is highly likely to echo beliefs that may not resonate with how he was raised
For the LGBT thing… I’m speaking from experience, the black experience is not the white one. Gay is very much not cool even if they say it is.
Speak for yourself, buddy. Being Black and Gay is Cool As Fuck.
The Black Experience is not the white one, but I never said it was, so I’m not sure why you’re telling me what I already know.
Nothing you said suggests that we need to believe the latest press release is sincere. If Calvin wants to change his actions great. I’m just saying don’t get your hopes up about someone who has already blown through several redemption arcs.
Judge someone by not just their past but their potential.
A dual edged sword. I would moderate that by saying whether they strive to work toward actualization of that potential, within the means available or presented to them.
That’s exactly it. We can’t know he’s genuine until he’s taken actions we can look at to compare
Whatever his reasons for “going woke”, I prefer to see this route to the JK Rowling route.
Yeah, mixed feelings, it’s kind of like when massive corporations go pinkwashing. Sure, it’s better than the alternative, but they’re not your friend and you can’t trust them.
Anyone who has shilled for the fascist regime needs to do a lot of work to regain any kind of respect. If he’s not going to use his platform to unapologetically oppose Trump then he deserves none.
This is the kind of criticism I can get behind. Good on him for changing his view on this, but everything else is still problematic.
Regardless of his actions I trust Snoop with absolutely nothing, he has no morals the only driving factor is money. Like I love some of his music but don’t take anything he says at face value; he will partner with both left wing and right wing at the same time just to get that little more cash
Good on him for walking it back, but you have friends that are LGBT and you still felt comfortable saying that stuff? Snoop can get his bag elsewhere because I won’t support him again
Bare minimum, still not as horrible as those sell outs like Ice T, Ice cube and especially Public Enemy
What did they do?
Wow. Just wow.
meh knowing Snoop I’d take what he says with a grain of salt and see what sponsorships/deals he has coming up and if any are potentially backed or support the LGBTQ+ community
the mans opinions change based on where the cheques come from. If he did make this change in thought without any financial basis then good for him.
You realize this is the onion, right?
Except it’s literally not the onion
God damnit I bit an onion that wasn’t even there lol.
The source, A.V. Club, was founded as a sister company to The Onion, just not satirical. It was part of the same company until last year or so.
Well thanks for the benefit of the doubt. But I totally face planted and deserve it.
Either way, it’s maybe the perfect source to accidentally conflate with The Onion.
And the perfectly wrong community to do it lol
Such a beautiful, slow motion faceplant though, a 9 from the Russian judge.
Onions are pretty tasty 🤷♂️
Apparently lol. After his previous stances, I thought no way is it real. It’s like MTG fighting for the ACA. I was like, no fuckin way is this real. But 2025 yo. Everything is ridiculous, nothing is probable, everything is dangerous and wildly likely. Who fuckin knows at this point? I honestly wouldn’t be surprised by flying scorpions at this point. Like you keep assuming it can’t get worse but it always does. So fucking flying scorpions doesn’t sound that far fetched anymore.
it seems MTG has a falling out with the rest of the gop for some time now, which is why shes fighting them now.
Nah she’s just opporunistic. She’s a populist above all.
This motherfucker danced for Trump. I don’t really give a shit anymore.
lol covering his sexist ass for the sake of his profitability.
I lived long enough to watch gangsters turn into posers
Whenever I see Eminem im like “dude smile, you’re a 50 something billionaire, nobody thinks you’re hard”
That’s so true lol. My 10 year old daughter almost shit herself when I told her he’s literally a grandpa.
I lived long enough to watch gangsters turn into posers
Frankly, it’s the most “gangster” thing he’s done in a while. Most gangsters are bigots. It’s a low education background
Greed is a hell of a drug.
Are gangsters preferable? Doesn’t sound like either end of that spectrum is great, but I’d prefer my suburb be full of posers.
My gangster neighbors are cool people. Certainly better than your average neighbor.
But… What crimes do they do to qualify as gangster then?
🤷♀️ Not sure. None of my business.
They got their crip walk down and are really good at hand shakes?
Because THAT’S Hip Hop!
They could be hood.
Its authentic. Snoop came by the gangster lifestyle honestly, he grew up that way.
Changing your views to be more progressive, when you are person with a public image, may be disingenuous. I’m not going to form an opinion on his true motives, but plenty of people will.
Honestly in this political climate, I’ll take it. He could have easily taken a hard right turn
He played at Trumps inaugural Crypto Ball.
You can’t turn much farther right than that.
I’m just trying to imagine Trump watching a Snoop Dogg performance and wondering what fresh hell he’s be dropped into. Pretty far from Ava Maria.
Drumpf was probably wondering why Snoop wasn’t singing YMCA
In Bo Burnham voice: His $27 8-packs weren’t selling very well, those sorts of problems.and transphobia.
There is always something to critique, huh? I think it’s positive that he has changed his stance regarding LGBTQ+ and even made a children’s song spreading the message that love is love. We need more inclusion, acceptance and tolerance in this society.
If Snoop is smart enough to spread a positive message and earn money at the same time, then good for him. At least he is trying to spread positivity to the world.
All he saw was his bottom line dropping and backpedaled.
Did you forget the Trump event he played at? 😂
That’s not someone who has goodness in their heart. He’s an opportunist and business man who is more likely to end up heading events in Dubai with Dave Chappell over doing something meaningful to spite the oligarchs that are actively seeking to kill LGBTQ+ individuals.
Snoop dog traded a actual lifetime of G credit away for a paycheck to sing and dance for a wannabe dictator.
I made a 90s playlist recently. Fully omitted snoop dog. He has some bangers but I’m good without him.
Did the same with Necro. Deleted him from my playlist because he is MAGA.
he thinks partnering martha stewart a rich white lady will make him okay with other whites.
Ay let’s not drag Martha into this, my girl did her time and never snitched. A real G lol
She legit has more street cred than snoop in my eyes.
Maybe some people in his life have been trying to help him escape the MAGA mindset after he did those events for Trump.
Maybe it’s Maybelline.
I will always give Snoop this; Man been with his wife through thick and thin. He got rich and famous, could have kicked her to the curb for a super model, or 10. Tells me he has some sort of moral core.
Is that sarcasm?
Nonetheless, I give him credit for staying married for as long as he did. It’s not like he left his wife while she had cancer.
That being said, he went right with ice cube. Fuck both.
Snoop is a little bitch. Soft and stupid.
Martha is more gangster than snoop.
This guy, man. Every other week it seems there’s a reason for the Internet to do a 180 on their collective opinion of him. In this case, credit is due. We could all have more humility as a society.
FUCK SNOOP FOREVER FOR PLAYING TRUMP’S INAUGURATION
Oh he’s not a bigot anymore? Cool thanks for telling us Uncle Tom
he said hes not afradif “LGBTQ+” DOESNT mean hes going to support them or even like them.
Uncle Tom
“Racism is OK when I do it!”…
Uncle Tom is not racism, is an apt description
No, mate. Its racist as fuck. ie “Youre not a real black man, because you do white people things.”. Which is, wait for it, racism.
Call many white guys “Uncle Tom”? Bet you dont, because no one calls white people “race traitor” except for…
Another one that doesn’t understand the Uncle Tom concept.
Your education has failed you or you are some kind of troll if you really think what they said was racist
Calling a black man “Uncle Tom” is like when MAGA calls you a “Race traitor” for being friends with none white people. “Uncle Tom” is widely used as a racist term against black people not “being black enough”.
Youre education system is American. Which means, racism is all you know. And its all you will ever be. Because you excuse it at every fucking turn. Its not enough to just comment on Snoops actions. No, you have to question his identify as a black man in America. By all means, please explain to the class what the colour of his skin has to do with his actions that you all so hate so much? You racist fucking prick!
He is a black man sucking up to white people in the worst way, I’m gonna keep my definition and you can keep yours, please don’t attempt to speak to me again, you’re really quite annoying
Its not really that we have differing definitions, mate. If that you see it as fine to be racist, and I dont. There is ZERO reason to bring his skin colour into the conversation. Yet here you all are. Double, and even tripling down on being racist as fuck.
This is the problem with echo chambers. You cant even see when youre being the very thing you hate.
He’s a black man doing the white man’s work for him, that is my definition an uncle Tom, I don’t know why you’re after me bro find bigger problems in life than me. Also how dare you come To me talking about respect when I indicated I did not want to speak with you further, you’re a fucking weird weirdo
He may be a complete piece of shit, but he can afford a crack PR team.
Well, at least he eventually did the right thing in the end. A lot of people in the comments are still roasting him for potential being disingenuous, but I’ll give credit where it’s due - biting people’s heads off after they chose to do the right thing after (well deserved) backlash doesn’t send the correct message to others that it’s worth it to listen to negative feedback rather than dig in their heels deeper.
Trump has some competition for that Nobel peace prize now
