Welcome to 2025, Snoop.
I didn’t expect that, but good on him and glaad
he got paid to say both of the thing. he couldnt care less about gay people.
People here give Snoop so much hate yet majority of his music isn’t about being a stand up citizen, it’s always been about getting weed, money and the occasional shorty.
yeah we know his allegiance is to money, he performed at a trump inauguration party
What is a shorty ?
What’s a shorty with you?
Me and that shorty together ? a duet ?
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.
Welcome to lemmy. Nothing changes, and if something change then it’s false and if it isn’t then it’s too little too late. This site is so bloody hellbent on being downer collective that it’s slowly driving me away.
The end? Is he dead now? Was this some kind of death-bed confession or something? Did he at least donate his time to the cause that he got paid so much to tear down?
Oh, no, he’s just getting paid by someone new now. He doesn’t need credit, he cashed in just fine on MAGA and now he’d also like a check from the gays. The correct message is ‘Working for the nazis leaves a stain on your reputation that a compensated non-apology will not wash away’
Are you by any chance a battered spouse, eager to accept any insincerity?
Dumb ass ninja saw his dollars disappearing. So now he protects his money train. I’m done with Snoop. He’s an Uncle Tom mother fucker. He can get fucked.
I don’t buy it tbh.
Trump has some competition for that Nobel peace prize now
Still can’t believe he sold his soul to Trump.
he smoked too much weed that made him dumb, and TRUMP loves dumb people: “I love the poorly educated”
Fuck that, stop blaming weed for what money did.
For real! In the first screen of comments here I’ve seen two that mention weed as a bad thing.
Weed is making my day much more comfortable so far, and I am being productive as hell with the things I actually care about. Working on my hobby projects outside while watching the dog I’m dog sitting play with our own dogs. Then in a bit, some more time on the computer here for some LAN game time with my son.
It’s good that it works for you. I have friends with different experience. Weed is not black and white, it’s more complicated.
Oh yeah, that’s true with weed as well as with every other piece of the puzzle I’ve put together over the past several years to find some peace and happiness in life.
I’ve described it as being like we all have different customized user manuals for our brains & bodies, but we don’t get a copy and have to reverse engineer it. Even in my case it’s not simply just “weed good” because some strains won’t even work well for me like my usual ones do.
I’ve had bad experiences too. It’s just very positive on the whole for me because there’s the short-term effect of being essentially a pain reliever, and the long-term benefit of knowing what it’s like to have good days again, and that makes it easier to find my way back to that state even when I’m not using any cannabis for a while.
I know from first hand experience that weed doesn’t make people support Trump.
A lot of of “old media” celebrities are big into Trump and the right wing these days. I guess it is new things being pushed for by progressives like trans rights and acceptance, even more equality for women, etc make them uncomfortable for a variety of reasons. So they retreat to something that feels safe by comparison.
Well, they both have sex trafficked women. (Snoop claims to have put together and managed a prostitution ring in 2003)
Hes just showing solidarity to a fellow criminal.
So someone paid him to change his opinion? Not exactly news. Dude is a walking “for sale” sign.
2025? This doesn’t even get him into the current millennium.
Lap doggy dog is a tRumper.
Is that an effect of sucking trump’s tiny cock?
Grooming = bad.
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?
Nothing is ever real
he does this shit all the time lol remember snoop lion? remember snoop quitting weed?
Snoop has always been extremely tactical in his decisions and statements. His image is carefully crafted and maintained and i agree with you 100%

Oh how about Uncle Tom playing Trump’s inauguration and this is all a publicity stunt to move passed that noise?
Fuck this bitch ass forever
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.
I just hope for yalls sake that he doesn’t go back on it
If he does it’s rinse and repeat. When it comes to individuals we can never give up on them.
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.
I am happy you are in an environment where being black and gay is cool as fuck. That is not the norm and I’d argue lots of statistics back that up.
Regardless, back in the topic I think we both agree just you’re taking a pessimistic approach while I’m trying to be optimistic.
Our lived experiences certainly align and hope is so so important. I understand prime being suspicious, but we’ll have to see. Also, giving room to grow in one area doesn’t mean we think someone is perfect. And no one is perfect, there is always room for work on ourselves.
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
Amen.
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.
lol covering his sexist ass for the sake of his profitability.
I lived long enough to watch gangsters turn into posers
Most of them are “studio gangsters” who tell imaginary stories they just make up.
They were all just used and marketed by businessmen.
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
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.
As long as they are real gangsters.
A lot of people get confused with the tryhards that dress flashy and show everyone their money as if they are a Hollywood hip-hop celebrity.
They’re nothing like that; you’d think they’re just ordinary people at a glance.
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.
Frankly, it’s the most “gangster” thing he’s done in a while. Most gangsters are bigots. It’s a low education background
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.
