Snoop Lion made bold comments about gay marriage and rap music, even addressing singer Frank Ocean's coming out.

Snoop, 41, who has spoken in favor of marriage equality before, was asked by The Guardian if he believed the R&B singer's declaration of having loved a man meant gay relationships would soon be accepted in the rap community.

"Frank Ocean ain't no rapper," Snoop is quoted as saying. "He's a singer. It's acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don't know if it will ever be acceptable because rap is so masculine."

In the genre largely dominated by men, several artists have made anti-gay remarks or slurs in their music - including Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and even Jay-Z, whose current affirming stance on gay equality contradicts some of his lyrics from years past.

"It's like a football team," Snoop continued. "You can't be in a locker room full of motherf----g tough-ass dudes, then all of a sudden say, 'Hey, man, I like you.' You know, that's going to be tough."

Though he feels that way about the industry, Snoop Lion made clear he doesn't personally have an issue with same-sex couples.

"I don't have a problem with gay people," he added. "I got some gay homies."
