Snoop Dogg's Cameo In 2004 Queer Show Resurfaces Amid Homophobic Comment: 'What Rhymes With Hypocrite?'

Days after Snoop Dogg lamented about LGBTQ+ representation in movies, his past, which he featured in one, has come back to bite him in the face. 

When the Death Row Records CEO appeared on the August 20 episode of “It’s Giving” podcast, he spared no time, slamming Disney’s presentation of lesbian characters in “Lightyear.” 

The “Gin and Juice” hitmaker’s comments about the animation sparked homophobic allegations about him. Now, fans have uncovered that Snoop previously had a cameo role in queer show, “The L Word.”

In a trip down memory lane, a social media critic posted images on Instagram from the 2004 TV series showing the 53-year-old in a scene with Jennifer Beals, who plays Bette, one of the gay characters. 

The post featured a four-frame collage with captions written across the images, presented as dialogue between the duo. In the first frame, Bette tells Snoop she is waiting for her "half-sister." 

The second shot shows his reply saying, "Beautiful half, I'm supposing." The third then reveals Bette's response, "More like the gay half," followed by Snoop’s reaction to the revelation. “Is that so? Sexy. Very sexy,” the word read.

In the accompanying caption to the post, the user confirmed that the scene was when Bette first opened up about her sexuality to the “Reincarnated” actor. 

The caption further read, “Cut to two decades later, and he's running his mouth on some podcast saying he's ‘scared to go to the movies' after merely seeing a lesbian couple. Wonder what changed!”

The “Drop it Like it’s Hot” singer guest-starred in two episodes of the series as Slim Daddy, a fictional rapper recording a music video with Kit Porter, who portrayed Pam Grier. 

At that time, Kit's sister, Bette, was at the beginning of what would develop into a multi-season relationship with her partner, played by Tina Lifford.

The groundbreaking project was one of the first to center on the lives and relationships of lesbians and was written and directed by queer women.

The resurfaced cameo appearance added to fans' anger at Snoop Dogg’s homophobic comments.

One critic took a jab at the rapper’s contradictory stance. “How's he going to explain THAT to his grandkids? What rhymes with hypocrite?” the user mocked.

A second observer shared similar sentiments, pointing out that Snoop was “perfectly fine watching Bette and Tina kiss, but now it scares him to watch a kiss between two women who are animated characters.”

Another netizen opined that Snoop is an “example of how manufactured this current anti-LGBT backlash is.” Another individual suggested that the businessman was only interested in profiting from the TV show. 

A fifth user chimed in, “Snoop Dogg wasn't so homophobic when he agreed to be in The L Word, huh? Lesbians are fine on screen as long as they're making him money, I guess. What a loser.”

Fans' disapproval of the “Sweat” singer’s take on same-sex relationships began after he blasted Disney’s “Lightyear.”  

As The Blast reported, the Grammy winner recounted his experience with his grandson while they watched the kids’ animation with podcast host Sarah Fontenot, emphasizing that he felt uncomfortable.

"They're putting it everywhere! My grandson, in the middle of the movie, is like, 'Papa Snoop, how [does] she have a baby with a woman?" the “Deep Cover” hitmaker lamented. 

He added, "I'm like, scared to go to the movies. Y'all throwing me in the middle of sh-t that I don't have an answer for."

While the “Sensual Seduction” singer is yet to address the “homophobic” allegations, he is no stranger to responding to backlash. 

Earlier in January, The Blast reported that when Snoop was bashed for performing at Donald Trump’s Inauguration ball, he quickly hit back at the naysayers, telling them to get their priorities right.

 "Y'all can't hate me enough for me, I love too much. Get your life right, stop worrying about mine,” the “Bad Decisions” hitmaker said, before stating that he remained true to himself.
