Snoop Dogg has revealed he has said sorry to rapper Kendrick Lamar after posting the Drake diss track 'Taylor Made Freestyle' to his social media account earlier this year.

By sharing the track on his Instagram stories, many interpreted this as him showing support for Drake, but Snoop has now said he has privately reached out to Kendrick Lamar amid the feud.
Kendrick addressed Snoop's action on the GNX album opener, wrapping: "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.”
Snoop initially responded and blamed drugs were to blame, but has now cleared the air and claimed that he was unaware “Taylor Made Freestyle” had been posted on his Instagram page.
“What had happened was, I did a collaborative post with someone. When I do it, I don’t listen to the music, I just see Gin & Juice because it’s my brand,” he told the interviewer.
“So when I posted it, I’m thinking I’m posting Gin & Juice. I don’t know what song this is, I’m not hip to everybody’s music.”
Snoop then shared what he told Kendrick after finding out he was disgruntled by the post: “Then I get the word: ‘Nephew didn’t like what you did,'” he continued.
“What did I do?! ‘You played some music.’ What music?! Then I had to go look at the [post] and I’m like, ‘Aw, that’s cuz.’
“So then I deleted it, called [Kendrick], left him a message ’cause he ain’t pick up, he was working on his sh**. ‘Nephew, it’s Uncle Snoop. I got the message. I apologise, I was f*cked up. My bad.'”
