How she have a baby with a woman? She\u2019s a woman!\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201c\u2018Oh s***, I didn\u2019t come in for this s***. I just came to watch the godd*** movie,\u2019\u201d the rapper continued. \u201c\u2018They just said, she and she had a baby, they\u2019re both women. How does she have a baby?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt f***ed me up,\u201d Snoop said. \u201cI\u2019m like, scared to go to the movies. Y\u2019all throwing me in the middle of s*** that I don\u2019t have an answer for. It threw me for a loop. I\u2019m like, \u2018What part of the movie was this?\u2019 These are kids. We have to show that at this age? They\u2019re going to ask questions. I don\u2019t have the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the main episode of the podcast, at around the 31-minute mark, host Sarah Fontenot asks Snoop Dogg what he thinks of her opinion on what she called the \u201csingle mother epidemic,\u201d where single mothers are \u201craising women in their sons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/snoop-dogg-blasted-stand-hate-163654437.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Snoop;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Snoop<\/a> responds: \u201cSee, that goes back to the presentation I spoke to you [about] earlier. What you see, it\u2019s what you see.

Because you can&#8217;t turn kids gay by helping them understand that some people are different,\u201d the English singer-songwriter wrote on X in a post that appears to have since been deleted. \u201cYou are born gay, just like you are born black or anything else. Kids are a reflection of those who raise them. Come on Snoop, be the legend you are or get some stronger weed! Always your fan.
