In February 2020, he credited his mother for pushing him to apologize to Gayle King for comments he made over her interview with former basketball star Lisa Leslie about the late Kobe Bryant.
"Two wrongs don’t make no right. when you’re wrong, you gotta fix it," he said in an Instagram.
"So with that being said, Gayle King, I publicly tore you down by coming at you in a derogatory manner based off of emotions of me being angry at a question you asked. Overreacted," he said. "I should have handled it way different than that, I was raised way better than that, so I would like to apologize publicly for the language that I used and calling you out your name and just being disrespectful."
Snoop Dogg was furious that the CBS News anchor brought up rape allegations from Bryant’s past in her interview with Leslie, a friend of Bryant. The retired Lakers star was killed in a helicopter crash along with his young daughter and seven others.
Snoop Dogg went on Instagram and called King crude names. He also said she better back off "before we come get you," and posted a slew of insulting photos and memes about her.
