After ‘Lightyear’ Controversy, Snoop Dogg Added Gay Couples, New Song to Animated Kids Show

After facing controversy for slamming the inclusion of a same-sex couple in Disney’s 2022 movie Lightyear, Snoop Dogg has changed his tune.

The rapper, hip-hop icon and business mogul has teamed with GLAAD to back Spirit Day, an annual initiative that rallies thousands of celebrities, influential voices, media outlets, studios, brands, corporations, sports teams, tech leaders and more to wear purple and show support for LGBTQ youth. This year’s installment takes place today, Oct. 16, and finds Snoop showing his support by wearing purple while having a conversation with The Voice contestant Jeremy Beloate, an out member of the LGBTQ community who competed on Team Snoop on the NBC reality series.

Snoop and Beloate talk about their friendship since meeting on The Voice and tease new music. Beloate tells Snoop about his own experience with bullying as a kid while sharing advice he has for others who might be experiencing the same.
