Snoop Dogg’s future on “The Voice” is uncertain after making homophobic comments, causing NBC to reevaluate their relationship with the rapper. The network has already canceled Snoop Dogg’s New Year’s Eve Special and is closely monitoring all Snoop-related broadcasts for potential backlash.
According to sources, NBC is concerned about potential advertiser backlash and the impact on their family-friendly brand. Snoop Dogg’s comments on a self-improvement podcast earlier this year, where he expressed confusion over a same-sex couple in a movie, have raised red flags for the network.
Despite NBC attributing the cancellation of the New Year’s special to scheduling conflicts, insiders claim that it was a warning sign for what could happen to Snoop Dogg’s involvement in “The Voice.” Martha Stewart, a longtime friend of Snoop Dogg, was reportedly appalled by his remarks and believes that love is love, regardless of gender.
In an attempt to rectify the situation, Snoop Dogg collaborated with GLAAD to release a new song, “Love is Love,” in honor of Spirit Day. He emphasized the importance of teaching children about love and acceptance, stating that kindness and inclusion are powerful values that should be instilled in the next generation.
Ultimately, Snoop Dogg emphasized that his partnership with GLAAD was about spreading love and respect for everyone, and that promoting kindness and inclusivity is what truly defines a “real gangsta.” Moving forward, it remains to be seen how NBC will handle Snoop Dogg’s presence on their network and whether he will continue to be a part of “The Voice.”
