Ellen DeGeneres has never been one to shy away from addressing controversial issues, and her latest comments on Snoop Dogg’s remarks about the LGBTQ community are no exception.

In a surprising turn of events, DeGeneres took to Twitter to express her disapproval of a statement Snoop Dogg made regarding Lightyear, the latest Pixar film, which reportedly included some questionable remarks about the LGBTQ community.

DeGeneres, who is known for her outspoken advocacy for LGBTQ rights, tweeted, “I have met and had a conversation with Snoop Dogg in the past, and this is very unlike him. Also, when I was with him, I did notice that he wanted to address me as a woman. I told him he can just call me Brother Ellen, which was funny, but he did comply.”

The host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show went on to address what she perceived as a slip-up on the rapper’s part. “I think he has smoked too much weed and forgot who he was, hence he made that nasty comment about the lesbian. He really needs to tone it down on the weed because I will cancel him myself!”

The public’s reaction to DeGeneres’ tweet was swift, with many expressing their surprise at her blunt words. As a high-profile advocate for LGBTQ rights, her comments held weight, especially given the nature of the remarks she was addressing. Snoop Dogg’s reputation as a staunch ally of the LGBTQ community had already been called into question by his comments on Lightyear, and DeGeneres’ tweet only heightened the scrutiny surrounding the rapper.

Snoop Dogg, however, wasn’t about to let the comment slide. In a response to DeGeneres’ tweet, he took a more laid-back, yet firm, approach: “Hey Ellen, my brotherly sister, I love and respect you but please grow some balls and address me via a call and not on social media to score some points.”

His reply was a clear sign that the public dispute between the two celebrities was far from over. Snoop Dogg’s use of humor and his characteristic laid-back demeanor softened the tension, but his words also conveyed a message: if DeGeneres had something to say to him, she should do it privately rather than airing their differences in public.

As the exchange between the two unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between celebrities, social media, and public discourse. DeGeneres, an LGBTQ rights advocate, has long been a leader in challenging discriminatory comments. However, her words against Snoop Dogg also bring attention to the delicate balance between defending a community and engaging in online feuds.

For now, it remains to be seen whether this social media exchange will evolve into a deeper conversation about responsibility, public figures, and their influence on important issues like LGBTQ rights. One thing is for sure, though: Ellen DeGeneres and Snoop Dogg have never been ones to shy away from speaking their minds—whether in agreement or, as we saw today, in disagreement.
