Snoop Dogg has been caught up in an ongoing controversy after it was revealed that his apology to the LGBTQ+ community was fake.
The 53-year-old rapper has yet to address the controversy surrounding his viral comments about LGBTQ+ representation in Disney’s 2022 animated film Lightyear.
A representative for the musician said that the apology, which was recently shared on social media, was in the works.
The apology did not appear on any of his verified social media accounts.
Snoop previously commented on a scene between Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba) and her wife while watching the 2022 animated sci-fi film produced by Pixar for Disney.
He faced backlash after saying the scene “f***ed me up” and made him “scared to go to the movies” anymore.
A fake comment that appeared to be from Snoop’s verified Instagram read: “I just got caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons.”

The rapper has yet to address the controversy surrounding his viral comments about LGBTQ+ depictions in Disney’s 2022 animated film Lightyear.
“All my gay friends [know] what’s going on, they called me with affection. My bad for not knowing the answers at 6 years old. Teach me how to learn. I’m not perfect.”
The comment about the Hollywood Unblocked TS Madison clip has since been deleted.
The Toy Story spin-off, which stars Chris Evans as the voice actor behind the titular space explorer, Lightyear, features a same-sex kiss between Alisha and wife Kiko.
The scene resulted in the film being banned from theaters in Middle Eastern markets such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar.
During an appearance on the It’s Dod Podcast, Snoop previously stated that he “didn’t get into this s**t.”
He recalled not knowing what to say to his grandchildren when he took them to the movies and they asked him about the same-sex kissing scene in Lightyear.
“What you see is what you see, and they put it everywhere,” he told the podcast.

He then said that seeing a same-sex couple in an animated film “threw me for a loop.”
“They’re like, ‘She had a baby – with another woman.’ Well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie, is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How does she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!'”
“Everyone throwing me in the middle of shit that I have no answers for… it threw me for a loop. I’m like, ‘What part of the movie was that?'”
He told the podcast, “These are kids. Should we show this at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answers.”
This isn’t the first time Snoop has faced scrutiny over LGBTQ+ comments.
In 2014, he used slurry in his Instagram caption and once referred to Caitlyn Jenner as a “science project.”
Now the rapper, a grandfather of eight, says he wants to learn from the moment, not shut out the conversation.
“Teach me how to learn,” he emphasized, signaling his intention to better address such issues. “I’m not perfect.”
