*Snoop Dogg, after the vicious comments he made in a video he made about Gayle King, wants you to know he means her no harm ’cause he is a “non-violent person.”
Saturday evening the rapper, whose government name is Calvin Broadus, took to Instagram to make sure that point is understood although he absolutely went in on her in a now-viral video that calls out the King for asking former WNBA star Lisa Leslie the late Kobe Bryant’s 2003 rape case.
“I’m a non-violent person,” Snoop says in the video. “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,“ he continued, “what 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, all I did was said, ‘check it out, you outta pocket for what you doing and we watching you. Have a little more respect for Vanessa, her babies and Kobe Bryant’s legacy.’”

He went on to stress once again that he’s “non-violent” while insisting he can only “speak from the heart.”
“Some of you who don’t have a heart wouldn’t understand that,” he quipped, ending the video.
Snoop Dogg’s controversial and hardcore post condemned King, 65, for bringing up Bryant’s legal battle during her interview with WNBA star Lisa Leslie, calling her a “funky, dog-haired bitch” during his rant. Oprah Winfrey later claimed that the viral interview clip led to King receiving death threats.
That brings us to CBS News President Susan Zirinsky. She has gone on the record regarding the fallout from King’s interview that upset Snoop and others, calling threats against the CBS This Morning co-anchor “reprehensible.”
“We fully support Gayle King and her integrity as a journalist,” Zirinsky told the Associated Press Saturday. “We find the threats against her or any journalist doing their job reprehensible.”
Zirinsky’s comments came one day after Oprah Winfrey, revealed in an interview that King is “not doing well.”
“She now has death threats and has to now travel with security,” Winfrey told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the Today show.
Even though Snoop has clarified that he meant Gayle no harm, let’s hope his initial comments don’t inspire someone to try to do her harm.
