Snoop claimed that he did a “collaborative post” on the song, as well as didn’t know what the actual track was.

“I’m thinking I’m posting ‘Gin & Juice.’ Then I get the word [Kendrick] didn’t like what you posted,” he said. “Then I deleted it, called nephew and left him a message… Nephew, it’s Uncle Snoop, I got the message, I apologize, I was f**ked up. My bad.”

On “Taylor Made Freestyle,” the track included AI-generated vocals using Snoop’s voice, as well as the voice of the late Tupac. The latter’s estate sent a cease-and-desist letter to Drake over the song.

Lamar referenced Snoop sharing the track on GNX’s “Wacced Out Murals,” rapping: “Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made,’ I prayed it was the edibles / I couldn’t believe it, it was only right for me to let it go.”

“He’s a rapper, he’s supposed to speak his mind and tell his truth,” Snoop said of the lyrics on Bootleg Kev. “I’m his big homebody so I have to take what’s said from his perspective because he’s speaking truth. I’m willing to accept truth when it’s brought to me directly.”
