Earlier this month rapper Snoop Dogg was forced to apologize to Gayle King after blasting her over insensitive questions about Kobe Bryant's 2003 rape accusation in an interview with Lisa Leslie following Kobe's death [click here if you missed that].
Snoop explains his intention on Jada Pinkett-Smith's Red Table Talk...
In a clip from the upcoming interview Snoop insists,
"I wanted to make sure what I said was said the right way and I wanted to make sure that the message came across that we love Kobe and be respectful of Vanessa and those kids. That's what the whole intent was. To protect that women and them babies over there, because she's still grieving. And let's give them that respect."
