Looks like Snoop Dogg’s seat on The Voice might be heating up — and not in a good way.
Sources claim the hip-hop legend is “on thin ice” with NBC after making comments many called homophobic, sparking major backlash inside the network. “There’s genuine fear of advertiser revolt,” one insider told RadarOnline. “This is a family brand. We can’t risk culture-war headlines.”
The trouble started when Snoop appeared on the It’s Giving with Sarah Fontenot podcast earlier this year. The rapper admitted he was caught off guard when his grandson asked about a same-sex couple in Pixar’s Lightyear. “I didn’t come here for this s—,” Snoop said. “I’m scared to go to the movies now.”
That comment didn’t sit well — and NBC apparently noticed.
The network quietly pulled Snoop’s New Year’s Eve special, blaming “calendar conflicts.” But insiders say that’s a cover story. “The New Year’s axing was the warning shot,” one source dished. “The Voice could be the execution.”
Even Snoop’s longtime bestie Martha Stewart is said to be horrified. “Martha was disgusted,” a source said. “She loves Snoop, but she doesn’t share his worldview. It’s 2025 — she feels like he should know better.”
The pair have built a wildly successful brand together over the years, from TV shows to product lines. Now, those ventures could be at risk too.
After the controversy, Snoop teamed up with GLAAD for Spirit Day, releasing a pro-LGBTQ song called Love Is Love.
“It’s all about love,” he said in an interview. “Kindness is cool, inclusion is powerful, and love always wins.”
Still, not everyone’s convinced the move will save his gig. “NBC is watching the public reaction,” one insider said. “If this blows up again, he’s gone.”
