Snoop Dogg has hit back at Oprah Winfrey after she accused him of being prejudiced against women.

The talkshow host said Snoop and other hip-hop artists were "misogynists" because their songs portrayed women in a negative light.

But the rapper complained that he had not had an opportunity to defend himself on the show, saying: "I don't like her no more. I really was offended, because I kind of like her. Liked her.

"I'm very articulate, very intellectual. She didn't even get a chance to even know me."

The 36-year-old added that his new material showed that he had left any hint of misogyny in the past.

He said: "[I want to] give the ladies something, because I've been so mean and so rude."
