According to the source:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This is the exact kind of conversation [the execs at NBC] didn\u2019t want to be sucked into. Production had to remind him that he works for an inclusive, apolitical, family-friendly show, and comments like this only go on to create a divisive environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">NBC has not made an official comment about Snoop Dogg\u2019s viral podcast appearance or even acknowledged it. However, it is true that polarizing topics like politics rarely come up, regardless of the leanings of the various celebrities who rotate in and out of the Big Red Chairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Also, many contestants in <em>The Voice<\/em>\u2019s first 27 seasons have identified themselves as part of the LGBTQ+ community. With that, the insider went on to say that the current situation could allegedly affect whether or not Snoop Dogg returns to the singing competition for a third season. The source said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The show does not condone the comments whatsoever. This is the opposite of the kind of spotlight they want on the show just ahead of the new season. And it just makes contestants and even some crew members not feel like the set is a safe space since they have all different kinds of people part of making this show come to life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Whether or not the source is correct that Snoop Dogg\u2019s opinion about <em>Lightyear<\/em> has caused some issues with the NBC brass, I wouldn\u2019t expect to see it addressed when <em>The Voice<\/em> Season 28 premieres at 8 p.m. ET Monday, September 22, on NBC (streaming the next day with a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tech.yahoo.com\/streaming\/articles\/peacock-subscription-plans-price-included-140420036.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Peacock subscription;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Peacock subscription<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With much of the season already filmed before the viral podcast appearance, it\u2019s unlikely that we\u2019ll see any of the tension Snoop is alleged to have created with his bosses, and even if he isn\u2019t invited back following this season, we\u2019ll probably never know if or how much this controversy played into it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Snoop Dogg stepped away for Season 27 but is returning as a coach for his second attempt, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/voice-announced-coaches-join-snoop-032210119.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:joining Niall Horan, Reba McEntire and Michael Bubl\u00e9;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">joining Niall Horan, Reba McEntire and Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/a> in helping budding artists try to crack their way into the music industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In his first appearance, Gwen Stefani said she thought the \u201cGin and Juice\u201d artist <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/gwen-stefani-explains-why-snoop-172615470.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:struggled to critique his team members;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">struggled to critique his team members<\/a>, and it\u2019s true that he <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/snoop-dogg-completely-broke-down-043045175.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:often became emotional;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">often became emotional<\/a> during episodes and, growing to think of the singers as his family by the end of the show.
