\”I thank my oldest son for making me a grandfather,\” Snoop Dogg commented once. 😭 The story of his grandson and photos of ALL HIS 7 GRANDKIDS are in the comments. ⬇️

Snoop Dogg may dominate the world of music, but his most heartfelt role is far from the stage—it’s at home, as “Papa Snoop.” Born Calvin Broadus Jr., the rap icon has built a legacy not just in hip-hop, but as a devoted husband, father of four, and proud grandfather.

Married to his high school sweetheart, Shante, since 1997, Snoop is a hands-on dad to Corde, Cordell, Cori, and Julian. His family expanded with the arrival of grandchildren, a new chapter he embraced with joy—and sorrow.

Snoop’s love for family has always been central. On *Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood*, he aimed to challenge stereotypes, showing a softer, nurturing side of a hip-hop legend. “My relationship with my kids means more than anything,” he once said, calling himself a “gullible” grandpa who lets the grandkids get away with everything.

Tragically, not all moments have been joyful. In 2019, Snoop’s grandson Kai Love passed away at just 10 days old due to a congenital heart defect. The loss deeply impacted the family. Kai’s mother, Soraya Love, turned grief into purpose by launching the Kai Heart Foundation to help families through love and health-focused initiatives.

Despite the heartbreak, the Broadus family continues to celebrate life. Snoop’s grandchildren, like Zion and Elleven, bring light to his world, and he honors each one—whether with hugs or in memory.

Through success, sorrow, and everything in between, Snoop Dogg’s greatest legacy may be the love he pours into his growing family. As “Papa Snoop,” he proves that even legends are led by the heart.
