Snoop Dogg recently found himself in the middle of an unexpected controversy when he accidentally shared Drake’s diss track, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” on Instagram. The track, laden with AI-generated vocals from Snoop himself and the late 2Pac, caused quite a stir. Snoop explained he didn’t realize what he posted, attributing it to a mix-up while promoting his drink brand, Gin & Juice.
The incident did not sit well with Kendrick Lamar, who referenced this mishap on his album “GNX”. He rapped about hoping Snoop’s post was an accident due to edibles. Snoop, embracing his reputation for honesty, confirmed in a conversation with Bootleg Kev that he was indeed caught off guard and unaware.
Snoop elaborated on how the misunderstanding happened. He participated in a collaborative post without checking the content closely, mistakenly thinking he was sharing something related to his brand. “I’m not hip to everybody’s music,” he admitted, showing a rare moment of negligence from the seasoned star.
Snoop wasted no time in reaching out to Kendrick once he understood the nature of the post. Despite Kendrick not picking up the phone, Snoop left an apologetic message, acknowledging his mistake in a heartfelt way. He humorously blamed the mix-up on his use of edibles, but sincerely apologized for the oversight.
Kendrick did not take long to address his disappointment publicly, name-dropping Snoop in his song “wacced out murals.” Snoop, however, took it in stride, pointing out that it’s a rapper’s job to express their feelings openly. This seems to have eased any potential tension between the two.
In the wake of everything, Snoop maintained his stance by emphasizing that he doesn’t delve into beefs and prefers to stay in his lane. He respects the rivalry culture but chooses not to get involved unless absolutely necessary, a testament to his matured perspective in the industry.
Snoop Dogg’s candid apology to Kendrick Lamar highlights his commitment to friendship over controversy.
