Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., is not just a hip-hop legend but a devoted family man. Married to Shante Broadus since 1997, he is a proud father of four and now a loving grandfather. Snoop cherishes his role as “Papa Snoop,” emphasizing the importance of family. “My relationship with my kids is more important than anything. It’s based on me being a father, a mentor, and a friend,” he shared.
In January 2015, Snoop became a grandfather with the birth of Zion, his eldest grandchild, followed by Elleven, Cordoba, Sky, Chateau, and Symphony. Each grandchild holds a special place in his heart, with Snoop celebrating milestones and sharing moments of joy and pride.
Snoop’s family has also faced heartbreak. In 2019, his grandson Kai Love tragically passed away at just 10 days old. Snoop leaned on faith during this difficult time, sharing, “Trust God in difficult times.” Kai’s mother, Soraya Love, channeled her grief into founding the Kai Heart Foundation to support families and promote heart health.
Despite life’s challenges, Snoop’s love for his family remains steadfast. He embraces his grandchildren with joy and sees them as a legacy of resilience and unity. “Each grandchild brings unique joy,” Snoop said, reflecting his commitment to nurturing his family bonds as the cherished “Papa Snoop.”
