Snoop Dogg clarifies reposting Drake’s Kendrick Lamar diss song.
Snoop Dogg revealed that he reached out to Kendrick Lamar to apologize for posting Drake’s diss track “Taylor Made Freestyle” on his Instagram. In a new interview with Bootleg Kev, Snoop shares details of the situation, and how he sent an apology to K. Dot.
“What had happened was, I did a collaborative post with someone. When I do it, I don’t listen to the music, I just see Gin & Juice because it’s my brand,” he reveals. “So when I posted it, I’m thinking, I’m posting Gin & Juice. I don’t know what song this is, I’m not hip to everybody’s music.”
“So when I posted it, I’m thinking, I’m posting Gin & Juice. I don’t know what song this is, I’m not hip to everybody’s music,” he continued. “So then I deleted it, called [Kendrick Lamar], left him a message ’cause he ain’t pick up, he was working on his sh-t. ‘Nephew, it’s Uncle Snoop. I got the message. I apologize, I was f–ked up. My bad.’”
He was then asked about Kendrick recently dropping him on GNX album’s song “wacced out murals.” “That’s my nephew, man. 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,” he added. “I’m his big homeboy so I have to take what’s given to me from his perspective because he’s speaking truth. And the truth shouldn’t hurt you, it should make you better. I’m one to accept truth when it’s brought to me directly.”
