Dionne Warwick Once Reprimanded Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight for Explicit Lyrics (Video)

TIFF 2021: “I am a gangsta,” the 80-year-old music icon and documentary subject says of the encounter

As presented in the Dionne Warwick documentary “Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over,” the Grammy Award-winning vocalist used her clout to call out Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight during a sit-down talk about the notable misogyny of some hip-hop lyrics.

“A lot of the things that were spewing out of their mouths were not necessary,” Warwick told TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven in an interview during the Toronto International Film Festival in which she was joined by the film’s directors, Dave Wooley and David Heilbroner. She told the rappers that they should watch their words because some day they might be parents, and “‘One of those children might be a little girl,’” Warwick said she told them

“It gave them food for thought,” she said.
