A representative for rapper Snoop Dogg called a comment addressing backlash over the rapper's criticism of LGBTQ characters in children's films "fake."

The comment appeared on a "Hollywood Unlocked" Instagram post, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The outlet noted that the post seemed to come from Snoop’s official account.

"I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. All my gay friends [know] what’s up, they been calling me with love. My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6-yr-old. Teach me how to learn. I’m not perfect," the comment read, according to the report. 

Both Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter reported that a representative for Snoop said the comment was fake and did not come from anyone on the rapper's team.

"It is a fake," a source close to the rapper told Deadline.

The strange development comes after Lauren Gunderson, a writer who worked on Pixar's "Lightyear," defended the inclusion of a same-sex couple with a child and criticized the rapper's remarks, telling one commenter, "He sucks."

"I created the ‘Lightyear’ lesbians," Gunderson wrote on Threads. "In 2018, I was a writer at Pixar—such a cool place, grateful to work there, learned a ton from kind and impressive creatives. As we wrote early versions of what became ‘Lightyear,’ a key character needed a partner, and it was so natural to write 'she' instead of 'he.' As small as that detail is in the film, I knew the representational effect it could have. Small line, big deal. I was elated that they kept it. I'm proud of it. To infinity."

Snoop explained during an August appearance on Sarah Fontenot's "It's Giving" podcast that he took his grandson to see "Lightyear"and was caught off guard.

"Why my grandson in the middle of the movie like ‘Papa Snoop, how she have a baby with a woman?" he said. "They just said she and she had a baby. They both women. How does she have a baby? S---. The movie ain’t over with… I’m scared to go to the movies. Like y’all throwing me in the middle of s--- that I don’t have an answer for."
