Snoop Dogg may be stepping away from The Voice after Season 28, insiders tell The U.S. Sun, even as the rapper publicly apologizes and clarifies past remarks.

The 53-year-old coach, who returned for this season after taking a break in Season 27, is reportedly “not fully invested” in his role, bringing what sources describe as “messy drama” to the set.

Season 28 is already underway and currently in the Knockouts, featuring returning coaches Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, Michael Bublé, and Snoop Dogg. While all four stars remain part of the season, production insiders suggest this could be Snoop’s final stint as a coach.

“He came back under contract, but he hasn’t been working out the way everyone hoped,” a source explained.

“Snoop isn’t entirely engaged with his team and the contestants. The outside noise—particularly his political endorsements—hasn’t helped. Mutually, it seems everyone agrees this isn’t the right gig for him anymore.”

Snoop, who debuted as a coach on Season 26 and took a break for Season 27, has faced criticism for publicly supporting Donald Trump, including performing at Trump’s 2024 Inauguration Crypto Ball. Fans and critics alike expressed disappointment that his political views were brought into the family-friendly show, with some saying it created “dark and ugly energy” on set.

In a recent interview with The Voice alum Jeremy Beloate, Snoop sought to clarify his stance on the LGBTQ+ community. The pair, who previously collaborated on the song Love Is Love for Snoop’s animated YouTube show Doggyland, discussed the importance of teaching children love, acceptance, and inclusivity.

“It’s all about love—that’s what we’re teaching the kids with Love Is Love,” Snoop said.

“Partnering with GLAAD for Spirit Day just felt right. We’re showing the next generation that kindness is cool, inclusion is powerful, and love always wins.”

Snoop’s latest comments come after earlier criticism over remarks about explaining LGBTQ+ themes in movies like Lightyear to his grandchildren. The rapper admitted he was “caught off-guard” and did not have an answer for young children, apologizing for any misunderstanding.

As the Knockouts unfold in Season 28, fans are watching closely to see how Snoop balances his controversial public image with the role of nurturing contestants on the show.

While his future on The Voice seems uncertain, his efforts to clarify his position on love, inclusivity, and acceptance suggest he is determined to leave a positive mark before stepping down.
