In a preview of the upcoming episode, Jada tells Snoop about how his rant affected her.
“When you first came out and you said what you said, you know in regards to Gayle, my heart dropped,” she says. “I felt like not only were you talking to Gayle, but you were talking to me. I was like, ‘Oh no, Snoop has now taken his power flow away from me, away from Willow, away from my mother.’ Right?'”
She adds, “I was like if this is what’s happening … I was like, not Snoop! So, that’s one of the reasons I felt like I really wanted to have the conversation with you in the spirit of healing.”
Earlier this month, Snoop took aim at King after she brought up past rape accusations against the late Kobe Bryant in an interview with former WNBA star Lisa Leslie. In an Instagram video, he referred to King as a “funky dog head bitch.”

King responded, “I accept the apology and understand the raw emotions caused by this tragic loss.”
She also noted it wasn’t her intention to add to the grief following Bryant’s death. The Los Angeles Lakers legend, his daughter Gianna and seven others died in a helicopter crash on January 26.
