Snoop Dogg has reaffirmed his support for the LGBTQ+ community in a recent interview, following previous comments that sparked controversy a couple of months ago.

The 53-year-old rapper expressed admiration for the diverse family structures that exist today, stating, “It’s wonderful that children can be raised by parents from different backgrounds and learn the true meaning of love,” during a segment for GLAAD’s Spirit Day.

Hailing from Long Beach, California, Snoop emphasized his appreciation for the fact that today’s kids can grow up with parents of any combination—be it two fathers, two mothers, or otherwise—underscoring that “love is the key.”

“I believe these kids are receiving love from amazing parents who are setting a great example of what family truly means,” he added.

In his interview with Jeremy Beloate, a queer musical artist who previously collaborated with Snoop on The Voice, Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., shared these heartfelt sentiments.

The Young, Wild & Free rapper and Beloate worked together on Love Is Love, a new single for the rapper’s new animated YouTube kids show Doggyland.

Snoop Dogg made his latest comments in a chat with Jeremy Beloate, a musical artist who identifies as queer who he past collaborated with on The Voice 

The Gin & Juice artist said that Love Is Love was written in an effort to teach ‘parenthood’ and ‘the situation that kids and the world is going through right now in a beautiful way.’

Snoop Dogg said he hoped to provide,’ through song, dance [and] melody … more understanding, clarity, on how we live and the way we live.

‘I felt like this music is a beautiful bridge to bring an understanding … so now, hopefully, we can help answer these questions and help them to live a happy life and understand that love is love.’

The Drop It Like It’s Hot performer said in a statement that his new track was written in an effort to enlighten the younger generation about kindness, acceptance and inclusivity.

‘At the end of the day, it’s all about love  – that’s what we’re teachin’ the kids with Love Is Love,’ Snoop Dogg said.

Snoop Dogg said that ‘partnering with GLAAD for Spirit Day just felt right, because spreading love and respect for everybody is what real gangstas do.

‘We’re showin’ the next generation that kindness is cool, inclusion is powerful, and love always wins.’

In a comment on GLAAD’s Instagram page, Beloate wrote, ‘Love you @snoopdogg .. what a beautiful day. Thank you @anthonyramosah @glaad for having us.’ 

The Long Beach, California native said he liked the idea that children growing up now are ‘able to have parents from all walks of life, whether it be two fathers, two mothers, whatever it is’

Snoop Dogg rankled some fans this past August with comments about the Disney motion picture Lightyear and its inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters in the storyline.

The Next Episode artist said on the podcast It’s Giving that he took his granddaughter to see the film and felt uncomfortable explaining the relationship dynamics depicted.

He said, ‘They’re like, “She had a baby – with another woman” – well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie is like, “Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!”‘ 

‘They just said, she and she had a baby  – they’re both women – how does she have a baby?’

Snoop Dogg complained, ‘I didn’t come here for this s***, I just came to watch the G****** movie,’ adding he was ‘scared to go to the movies now.’

The veteran rapper added, ‘Like, y’all throwing me in the middle of s*** that I don’t have an answer for … it threw me for a loop. I’m like, “What part of the movie was this?”

‘These are kids. We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.’ 

Snoop Dogg appeared to distance himself from the remarks just weeks later via a  comment on an Instagram post replying to activist Ts Madison, who had taken him to task for his remarks.

‘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,’ the entertainer said.

Snoop Dogg stressed that he was in an awkward situation that led to the initial remarks, but hope to take a lesson from everything.

‘My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6 yr old … teach me how to learn I’m not perfect,’ Snoop Dogg said.
