Snoop Dogg has called out Gayle King on social media over Kobe Bryant after she talked about his dismissed rape case in a new interview.
Taking to social media, Snoop asked Gayle to back off from the family and threatened to come for her if she doesn’t do so.
He said:
“Respect the family and back off, bitch, before we come get you.”
The rapper was furious with CBS star King for mentioning Bryant’s s*xual assault charge in the interview. Snoop said in a monologue posted on Instagram,
“Gayle King, out of pocket for that s–t, way out of pocket.
“What do you gain from that? I swear to God, we the worst, we the f–king worst. We expect more from you, Gayle, don’t you hang out with Oprah?
“Why you all attacking us, we your people. You ain’t coming after f–king Harvey Weinstein asking him dumb-ass questions. I get sick of you all …
“I wanna call you one … Funky, dog-haired bitch, how dare you try and tarnish my motherf–king homeboy’s reputation, punk motherf–ker.
“Respect the family and back off, bitch, before we come get you.”
Snoop’s comments come just days after King interviewed Leslie, a longtime friend of the late Lakers legend. Bryant, who died Jan. 26 in a helicopter crash, was accused of rape in 2003 by a 19-year old woman in Colorado. The case was dropped in 2004.
“It has been said that his legacy is complicated because of the s*xual assault charge which was dismissed in 2003, 2004. Is it complicated for you as a woman, a WNBA player?” King asked Leslie.
“It’s not complicated for me at all. I just have never seen him as being the kind of person that would do something violating to a woman or be aggressive in that way. That’s just not the person I know.” Leslie answered.
The interview has enraged Bryant fans and garnered significant backlash across social media, with many sending death threats to the CBS anchor.
