Date of birth: October 30, 1971

Snoop Dogg met his future wife Shante Taylor during his years at a high school. Then the girl came to the football match, in which the rapper’s team participated. He lost his head from love for her immediately and then decided to spend his whole life with Shante.

They tied the knot on June 12, 1997, and since then seemed extremely happy. But like most other couples, who live together for a long period, they had to cope with a serious crisis. On May 21, 2004, they divorced, naming “mutual misunderstanding” as the reason for their split, but on January 12, 2008, they tied the knot again.

No wonder, that scandalous musician has such a short dating list. Shante is a really great woman! An entrepreneur, philanthropist, and mother of three kids, she really holds Snoop Dogg’s heart in her hands. He even tattooed his wife’s face on his shoulder.

Several years ago Mrs. Broadus made an attempt to become a fashion designer – and she succeeded! T-shirts, made by her, were sold immediately, and it inspired the woman to found her own fashion label “Co Co Ri”. In addition, she managed the career of a female rapper The Lady of Rage. After that Shante founded her own management label “Boss Lady Entertainment”.

In 2021 his wife Shante officially became his manager. No need to say, that she stood behind his back and supported the talented rapper for decades and forced his career. But now she is his representative by law, too. The founder of Boss Lady Entertainment, Shante became Snoop’s manager at the beginning of 2021. Besides, she contributes to the Broadus Collection. The rapper’s wife designed the scarves line, which was affordable at Snoop Dogg’s online store.

The great matriarch of the Brodus family, Shante also manages the musical careers of her daughter Cori and son Cordell.

Date of birth: August 21, 1994

Corde is the first son of Cordozar Broadus and his then-girlfriend Shante. His parents got married three years later after his birth. His father nicknamed him Spanky. The boy got a prestigious education at Diamond Bar High School and during his years there he played football for the school team.

In spite of the fact, that his famous father has been training youth football teams for a long time and wanted Corde to become a quarterback, the young man refused. His dream was to pursue a career in the music industry.

In 2015 Corde made Broadus’s family even bigger – together with his model-like girlfriend Jessica Kyzer he welcomed a son Zion. The proud grandfather Snoop Dogg immediately shared the news with his fans through Instagram.

Since 2018 Corde has been in relations with the YouTuber Soraya Love. Their first common child – a girl Elleven Love – was born on August 17, 2018. The next year, on September 15, 2019, Corde and Soraya welcomed their second child Kai Love. Unfortunately, the baby boy passed away, being just 10 days old. In 2021 Snoop’s son and his girlfriend Soraya had another son – Skylar.

In 2022 Corde realized his dream and released the track “808” in summer, 2022.

He performs under the stage name “Kalvin Love” and maintains an eponymous YouTube channel. The track, which gained some popularity soon after its release, belongs to an album “Kai”, which the rapper devoted to his late son.

Date of birth: February 21, 1997

Cordell Broadus is the second son of an entrepreneur Shante and Lay Low singer Snoop Dogg. He was born a couple of months before his parents’ official marriage. His father named a cute kid “Lil Snoop”.

The boy attended a prestigious school, and like other male members of his family, he played football. He got a sports scholarship at UCLA and even spent some time in this venue, but then quit his studying and sports in order to pursue acting.

Cordell spent several years, making unsuccessful efforts to become a professional actor, and then gave it up and decided to become a model.

In 2017 he made a runaway debut at the Philipp Plein fashion show. And a couple of months later he signed his first model deal with leather goods giant MCM Worldwide.

As of 2022, Cordell is an entrepreneur. He deals with cryptocurrency. He also manages the entertainment agency “Hello”. Snoop’s son has a long-term girlfriend Phia Barragan. They are raising two daughters – Cordoba (born in 2019) and Chateau (born in 2021).

Date of birth: June 22, 1999

The only girl in Snoops and Shante’s family, Cori got a nickname from her Poppy Broadus, too. He named her “Choc”.

By the way, pretty Cori is the main love in her father’s life. He used to tell, that looking at his daughter, he understands, how strong and independent modern women are. He is very proud of his girl and tells her that he forbade her to date anyone till she turns 70.

Like a careful parent, Snoop Dogg tries to communicate with his daughter’s friends. Thus, he even performed at Cori’s 16^th birthday party, which was not an easy thing, because modern teenagers mostly stay motionless and look at the screens of their iPhones during parties.

When Cori was 6, her parents had to accept a challenge from their fate. Their sweet kid was diagnosed with lupus – a rare and complicated autoimmune disease (Selena Gomez also has it). At first, the girl was close to losing the battle with her illness, but then she picked herself up and won it!

Now Cori is OK. She follows in her father’s footsteps and is making a career in the music industry. She has already released the single “Do My Thang” and featured in her daddy’s set of songs “No Guns Allowed”.

It was Cori, who inspired her mom Shante create the scarves collection for the Brodus fashion brand. In her childhood, while she was struggling with lupus, Cori began losing hair. To hide it, her mom put a scarf over her head. The other members of their family did the same to support Cori.

On November 25, 2022, Cori shared the great news with her Instagram followers. She got engaged to her boyfriend Wayne Deuce. Wayne comes from Compton, CA. He is a filmmaker and businessman.

Julian Corrie Broadus (son with Laurie Holmond)

Date of birth: 1998

Although the most popular of the Broadus breed is a loving family man, he can hardly be called an exemplary one. Rumor has it, the famous rapper cheated on his wife from time to time. The result of one such “grazing in another pasture” is his fourth son Julian Broadus.

In high school, Snoop dated another girl, Laurie Helmond, and in 1998 she gave birth to a boy. For many years the musician was estranged from his son, but in 2007 he finally met him and recognized his parenthood.

Julian gave a number of interviews after the truth about his father became public. He told that at first, he was angry at his father, but then he became older and forgave him. By the way, he is interested in music, too, and planned to become a musician.

As of 2022, he works as a manager at Voxel X Network online marketplace.

Vernell Varnado (father)

Date of birth: December 13, 1949

Vernell Varnado became interesting to the wide circle of people after his son Snoop Dogg was catapulted to stardom. By the way, he calls his popular child just “Snoop”, not Cordazar, as he was named from birth. A son and a father have different surnames either. The stellar rapper is “Broadus”, just like the next husband of his mom.

In his interviews Vernell boasts, that he looks too young as for Snoop’s father. Frankly speaking, the man is really fit. At the age of 19 he was sent to Vietnam, and the years of service there made him stronger.

After that he married Beverly Tate and soon welcomed his only son – Calvin Cordozar. He liked his child, but after separation from his mother, he didn’t see his boy too often.

Snoop Dogg inherited his love to music from his dad. In his young years Vernell was a part of a family band “Sensational Varnado Brothers”. He performed gospel songs. The man holds a number of awards for his music activity, but his signing couldn’t serve as a reliable source of income, so he got the job of a mail delivery man in Detroit. During many years he spoke with his son on phone – and that’s all.

But when Cordozar entered a high school, Vernell suddenly came to see him and even invited his son to spend a summer in Detroit. Around that time Snoop had altercations with law, and his father put lots of effort to save him from jail.

In the early 1990s, Snopp’s career in music made a great leap forward. He became rich and popular and asked his father to move from Detroit to Southern California. So, Varnado resigned from the post office.

In 1998 he made an attempt to return to the music industry with the album “Westside Riderz”, which he released under the name “Papa Snoop”. But his disk gained modest popularity. Of course, he started to make music with his son’s support. He is close to Snoop for now and likes to spend time with his grandchildren.

Date of death: October 24, 2021

Beverly was a single parent. She brought up three kids. As she confessed, Snoop was the kid, which challenged her more than others. At the age of 4, he asked her to give him an alcoholic drink. She let him taste malt liquor till he got sick. Thus, he tried to teach him not to drink alcoholic beverages.

For many years she was a director of the church choir and taught at a Sunday school. At first, she served full-time at McDonnell-Douglas aerospace company. Then she resigned and became a preacher. She owned a house in Southern California.

The woman passed away in October 2021. Her famous son Snoop Dogg announced the sad news about her death through his Instagram. After that, he posted several photos and videos featuring his mother, recovering in his mind all the great days they used to have together.

Beverly had had health serious issues several months before her death. In the summer, of 2021 Snoop Dogg posted a photo, depicting his mom on a hospital bed, surrounded by her 3 sons. He added, that he was praying for her.
