Rapper Snoop Dogg recently made a surprise appearance at Jackson State University . The West Coast rapper made an appearance at GLAAD’s “Generation Z and HIV: Human Issue. Southern Solution. An HBCU Tour.” Many were surprised by his decision to attend this event following Hilo’s earlier comments about the LGBTQIA+ community.
During the event, he sat with GLAAD’s Darian Aaron to discuss how HIV has impacted the music industry and LGBTQ representation in media. He spoke on how entertainers reacted to the diseases during the early years of the epidemic. Snoop described the early reactions as “fear” and “lack of guidance.” In 1995, fellow West Coast rapper Eazy-E died of HIV/AIDS complications one month after his diagnosis. His status shocked the rap game, shedding light on this issue.
