Snoop Dogg recently walked back his comments about Gayle King, following the Kobe Bryant controversy, and his apology has lit up social media. Over the past week, Snoop shared multiple social media posts, criticizing King for her recent interview with WNBA star Lisa Leslie, wherein she pressed Leslie with questions about Bryant’s legacy in the wake of his death, considering that he was once accused of sexual assault.
Snoop fired off a round of social media posts criticizing King, at one point saying that she should “back off, b—, before we come get you.”

Later, he came out to walk back his comments, explaining, “When I said what I said, I spoke for the people who felt like Gayle was very disrespectful towards Kobe Bryant and his family.”
“Now with that being said, what do I look like, wanting some harm to come to a 70-year-old woman? I was raised way better than that. I don’t want no harm to come to her and I didn’t threaten her,” he added. “All I did was say, ‘Check it out, you outta pocket for what you doing and we watching you. Have a little bit more respect for Vanessa, her babies and Kobe Bryant’s legacy.’”

Yes, Snoop. You did. “Before we come get you” was not an invitation to pick her up and take her grocery shopping.

Those are the standards you want to hold to? Not me. Why liken ourselves to that trash behavior in the WW. Again he didn’t have to use his platform to threaten a 60 yr, just like she didn’t have to use hers to hold public court on a man not even in the ground yet. #Tacky

Snoop Dogg got caught in the feminist “threat maze” for arguing with a feminist. Where anything he says becomes a “threat” to her well being and nothing can be done to get yourself out of the maze. Run for your life, Snoop! Find the maze door! https://t.co/pivZF3uYBM

@SnoopDogg : I didn’t threaten Gayle King, but she ‘was very disrespectful towards Kobe Bryant’ https://t.co/33WyCf5Dzc You you did. We all heard you. Smh just like @RickeySmiley but he’s with you. Please stop attacking successful black women.

Really? what you should be recognizing instead, is what caused this to happen.Quick to cancel another brother but discount Ms.King’s actions?Both are wrong. period. in two different ways. which is worse?

I guess Coby wife and children”s pain doesn”t matter, Only GK’s feelings.
@morningmika @SnoopDogg has apologized and Gail needs to do the same to Kobe’s family. Both were horribly wrong. Poor Vanessa hasn’t even buried her child or husband yet.

I just don’t get the big rush to bring up all the disgusting things people did after they die. None of it matters anymore. Final judgement is in the right hands now. Leave it alone, let this family grieve. PLEASE!!!

So you demonstrate your displeasure of @SnoopDogg issuing threats by issuing one of your own, apparently repping an army of others who also threaten in kind. WTB mature @AmbassadorRice

To say she didn’t know what she was doing in that interview, is ludicrous. She was over shadowing the passing of Kobe & all the people on that helicopter that day. It wasn’t the time for the question. She knows better. It’s pathetic. People died, it’s sad. Period.

Did YOU just actually threaten @SnoopDogg?? Our man was talking about exposure, learn to read between the lines “journalist” or whoever the hell you are… What do you mean with “an army”, who exactly are in that “army”? Weinstein and his sick friends that control the media? 😡😡
