Dionne Warwick Confronted Snoop Dogg About Calling Women The B Word

Snoop Dogg appeared in Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over CNN Film that premiered on Sunday (January 1). Dionne Warwick invited Snoop Dogg, Suge Knight and their crew to her home for a 7:00 a.m. meeting to address their gangsta rap lyrics and calling women bitches.

“We were kind of like scared and shook up,” the Doggfather recalled. “We’re powerful right now, but she’s been powerful forever. Thirty-some years in the game, in the big home with a lot of money and success.”

Once he and the others entered, Dionne Warwick wasted no time addressing her concerns by asking them to call her a bitch, as they seemed so comfortable doing on their songs.

“You guys are all going to grow up. You’re going [to] have families. You’re going to have children. You’re going to have little girls and one day that little girl is going to look at you and say, ‘Daddy, did you really say that? Is that really you?’ What are you going to say?”

The “Beautiful” rapper said that her feedback definitely made an impact on the type of music he created from that point on.

“She was checking me at a time when I thought we couldn’t be checked,” he said. “We were the most gangsta as you could be but that day at Dionne Warwick’s house, I believe we got out-gangstered that day. I made it a point to put [out] records of joy – me uplifting everybody and nobody dying and everybody living.

“Dionne, I hope I became the jewel that you saw when I was the little, dirty rock that was in your house,” Snoop Dogg added later in his interview. “I hope I’m making you proud.”
