Snoop Dogg Discusses the Importance of Family
Snoop has had a phenomenal career, but he prioritizes his family. The rapper has given rare glimpses into his personal life on social media and in interviews, and he has embraced his new role as a grandfather. On August 2, Snoop and his longtime wife, Shante Broadus, attended the “PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie” Global Premiere and Family Day at Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, California, with their beautiful family, including their grandchildren.
In a 2021 interview with GQ, Snoop discussed how he made his wife his manager and the impact it had. “Well, making my wife my manager was very key, because that’s my backbone. That’s my heart and my soul, that’s the one that I love the most, that I trust the most,” he said.
He continued, “That’s our problem as Black men sometimes: We get so caught up in our business that we forget to let our spouse in the business. Then when something happens to us, in comes some man or some company taking it from this lady who has no understanding of business and how to hold on. But in the other world, they teach their whole family this (expletive).”
