Snoop Dogg, the renowned rapper, has built a legacy that extends far beyond his music. As a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he has consistently prioritized family above all else. His cherished role as a grandfather has brought him immense joy, but also profound sorrow, following the loss of his grandchild, Kai Love.
Snoop’s family has grown significantly over the years. He and his wife, Shante Broadus, have been married since 1997 and have three children together. From previous relationships, he has four children: Julian, Cori, Cordell, and Corde. As his children have grown, Snoop has welcomed seven grandchildren into his life, each bringing unique delight and significance.
In 2007, while promoting his reality show “Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood,” Snoop shared his family values, highlighting the importance of hip-hop artists as father figures. He emphasized the need to recognize and appreciate the positive impact rappers have on their families.
Snoop’s approach to grandfatherhood is relaxed and loving. He described himself as a “gullible, get-away-with-everything kind of grandpa” in a 2015 interview. His grandchildren affectionately call him “Papa Snoop,” a nickname given to him by his eldest grandson.
Tragedy struck in 2019 when Snoop’s grandson, Kai Love, passed away at just 10 days old. Snoop shared an emotional message on social media, expressing his trust in God and gratitude for the outpouring of support. Kai’s parents, Corde and Soraya, established the “Kai Heart Foundation” in his memory, dedicated to spreading love and healing through community support.
Despite the pain of losing Kai, Snoop’s family has continued to grow. Each grandchild has brought new joy and depth to his life. From Zion Kalvin Broadus, born in 2015, to Symphony Sol, born in 2023, Snoop’s legacy as a loving family man endures.
Through his journey, Snoop has remained committed to his family, cherishing every moment with his children and grandchildren. His love and devotion have created a lasting impact, inspiring others to prioritize family and appreciate the beauty of love and connection.
