Bill Cosby , who is currently serving three to 10 years in a maximum-security prison for a sexual assault conviction, tweeted on Thursday to thank Snoop Dogg for coming to his defense.

The rapper had posted a series of enraged Instagram messages over Gayle Kings CBS This Morning interview on Tuesday with retired WNBA star Lisa Leslie. King was criticized for simply asking her guest about the sexual assault charges once pursued against Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash last month.

Snoop Dogg, who has posted extensively about the Los Angeles Lakers legend in the wake of his death, denounced King in a video posted to Instagram afterwards. He criticized King and Oprah Winfrey, saying: Why yall attacking us? We your people. You aint coming after fucking Harvey Weinstein asking him dumbass questions.

How dare you try and tarnish my motherfucking homeboys reputation.... Respect the family and back off, bitch, before we come get you.

In subsequent posts, Snoop Dogg directed attacks at other Black women for what he indicated was disproportionality calling attention to alleged sexual assaults by Black men. He suggested that they were treating white men, like Harvey Weinstein, easier for similar accusations.

He shared an image of Oprah Winfrey and Weinstein who is currently on trial for multiple sexual assault allegations accusing Winfrey of supporting Weinstein while advocating against Michael Jackson. (Winfrey has adamantly supported the explosive Leaving Neverland documentary series on HBO, which explored two allegations of child sexual abuse against Michael Jackson.)

Its not the first time Winfrey has faced these accusations. Others , including 50 Cent , have called her out for only going after Black men. Winfrey has spoken out against Weinstein on several occasions.

Free Bill Cosby, Snoop Dogg concluded his post.
