Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., is not just a global rap icon but also a devoted family man. Married to Shante Broadus since 1997, he has four children—Corde, Cordell, Cori, and Julian—and is a proud grandfather. Over the years, he has balanced his celebrity persona with his personal life, celebrating fatherhood and grandparenting with love and humility. Snoop’s grandchildren affectionately call him “Papa Snoop,” a title he cherishes deeply.
Tragedy struck the Broadus family in 2019 when Snoop’s grandson, Kai Love, passed away just 10 days after birth due to a heart defect. The loss deeply affected the family, but they channeled their grief into creating the Kai Heart Foundation. This organization, inspired by Kai’s memory, focuses on love, wellness, and community support, helping those in need while spreading positivity.
Snoop’s eldest grandchild, Zion Kalvin, was born in 2015, bringing immense joy to the family. Since then, the Broadus family has grown, with several grandchildren, including Elleven Love, Cordoba Journey, Sky Love, Chateau Broadus, and Symphony Sol, each adding more love and happiness to the family dynamic. These milestones highlight Snoop’s pride and devotion to his family.
Despite his losses, Snoop continues to embrace life with resilience, often reflecting on the joys of fatherhood and grandparenting. He describes himself as a “gullible, get-away-with-everything kind of grandpa,” finding joy in every moment he spends with his grandchildren. His family-oriented side often surprises fans, showing a tender side to the rapper’s public image.
Through the Kai Heart Foundation and his commitment to family, Snoop demonstrates the strength and compassion that define his lesser-known, deeply personal side. From celebrating milestones to overcoming heartache, “Papa Snoop” remains an inspiring figure for both his family and fans worldwide.
