Snoop Dogg Drops 'Love Is Love' Kids' Track, Embraces Diversity After Socal Backlash

Snoop Dogg’s New Tune: Love in Every Family

Yo, Snoop Dogg is back with a fresh vibe, and this time he’s dropping wisdom for the kiddos straight outta his animated YouTube series 'Doggyland.' On October 13, the Long Beach rap icon released 'Love is Love,' a track that’s all about celebrating families - no matter the shape or size - with that classic SoCal feel-good energy. It’s a big pivot for the 53-year-old legend after some eyebrow-raising comments earlier this year about a same-sex couple in Pixar’s 'Lightyear.'

This ain’t just a song - it’s a whole lesson wrapped in beats and melody. Snoop teamed up with Jeremy Beloate, a standout from his 2024 'The Voice' squad, to bring extra heart to the project. The track’s got lines like, 'Our parents are different / No two are the same / But the one thing that’s for certain / Is the love won’t change,' making it clear that love is the name of the game, whether it’s two moms, two dads, or any combo under the California sun.

If you’re cruising through LA or chilling in the Valley, you can feel the shift in Snoop’s message. This release is his way of building bridges, especially for the little ones asking big questions about the world. It’s pure Hollywood redemption with a side of West Coast soul, proving Snoop’s ready to evolve with the times.

Teaming Up with GLAAD for Real Talk

Snoop didn’t stop at the music - he’s diving deep into convo mode. On October 16, just in time for #SpiritDay (that’s the anti-bullying initiative for LGBTQ youth), he partnered with GLAAD for a 36-minute chat with Beloate. They got real about feeling 'othered,' facing bullies, and how their collab on 'Love is Love' is more than just a track - it’s a movement.

'This song is a beautiful bridge, ya know? It’s about helping kids understand that love is love, no matter who’s in the family, and giving them answers so they can live happy,' Snoop shared during the discussion.

From the streets of Long Beach to the red carpets of Hollywood, Snoop’s opening up about how music can teach parenthood and acceptance in a way that hits home. He’s all about clarity - helping kids and parents navigate today’s world with a melody that sticks. It’s the kind of convo you’d overhear at a Venice Beach cafe, raw and straight from the heart.

From Backlash to Breakthrough

Let’s rewind a bit - Snoop caught some serious heat back in August on the 'It’s Giving' podcast after admitting he was 'scared to go to the movies' following a scene in 2022’s 'Lightyear' where two women had a baby. He straight-up said it threw him for a loop, especially when his grandson started asking questions he didn’t know how to answer. That Malibu-style drama had folks buzzing from DTLA to the OC, with many questioning if Snoop was outta touch.

But now, he’s flipping the script. 'Love is Love' is his answer to those tough questions, a way to show kids that family comes in all forms. Snoop’s shoutout to parents of every kind during his chat with Beloate - whether it’s two fathers or two mothers - shows he’s learning, growing, and ready to lead with love, not shade.

This ain’t just a PR move - it feels like Snoop’s tapping into that Cali spirit of reinvention. He’s owning his past missteps and turning them into a lesson for the next gen, proving that even OGs can switch up their game when it matters most.

Bullying Stories Hit Close to Home

Snoop also got personal with Beloate, bonding over shared struggles with bullying. When Beloate opened up about getting flak in school for being a boy who sang, Snoop related hard. Coming from gang-heavy hoods in Long Beach, he’s no stranger to being targeted, even sharing a memory of a kid stomping on goldfish he’d won as a prize back in elementary school.

He’s got a message for anyone out there getting bullied: you’ll get through it. 'You’ll laugh about it one day, smile about it,' Snoop told Beloate, emphasizing how those tough times build character. It’s the kind of real talk you’d expect from a mentor who’s seen it all, from Compton streets to Grammy stages.

For Snoop, this convo isn’t just nostalgia - it’s about inspiring kids today to keep pushing. Whether you’re in a SoCal suburb or beyond, his story reminds us that overcoming hate starts with understanding, and maybe a little West Coast resilience. So, turn up 'Love is Love' and let the good vibes roll.
