Snoop Dogg recently grabbed attention for his role in the controversy linked to Drake’s diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle.” The iconic West Coast rapper has now stepped up to explain the circumstances and express regret for any confusion.
As per Snoop, he mistakenly shared Drake’s contentious song on his Instagram Stories earlier this year. What seemed like a display of support for Drake was actually a result of a misunderstanding involving cannabis-infused edibles.
“I did a collaborative post with someone,”
Snoop explained.
“When I do it, I don’t listen to the music, I just see Gin & Juice because it’s my brand.”
He was unaware he had posted Drake’s song instead of one of his own tracks.
Snoop’s actions caught the eye of Kendrick Lamar, his frequent collaborator. Kendrick discussed the incident in his album “GNX,” where he mentioned Snoop’s surprising action.
Snoop quickly reached out to Kendrick after realizing his mistake.
“Then I get the word: ‘Nephew didn’t like what you did,’ What did I do?! ‘You played some music.’ What music?! Then I had to go look at the [post] and I’m like, ‘Aw, that’s cuz.’”
He continued,
“So then I deleted it, called [Kendrick], left him a message ’cause he ain’t pick up, he was working on his shit. ‘Nephew, it’s Uncle Snoop. I got the message. I apologize, I was fucked up. My bad.’”
Snoop expressed no offense towards Kendrick for addressing the situation on his album. He views Kendrick as a nephew and understands the rapper’s right to express his feelings.
“That’s my nephew, man,” Snoop said. “He’s a rapper, he’s supposed to speak his mind and tell his truth. That’s the way he felt and he has the right to say that.”
This incident highlights the complexities of social media interactions in the hip-hop world, where even seemingly small actions can have significant repercussions within the community. It also underscores the importance of clear communication and understanding between artists, especially when they’ve collaborated in the past.
