Fans loved seeing it, and the comments reflected that. “Awwwwww adorbs. Its all love baby,” a comment reads. “God Bless You And Your Family,” another fan wrote.

Snoop Dogg Embraces Role as Grandfather
Getty“The Voice” coach is also a proud and doting grandfather, affectionately referred to as Papa Noop by his grandbabies. In an appearance on “Today” in October 2024, he said, “So Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack: when the parents are out of town, the kids can do whatever they want to do with grandpa and grandma. Because it’s our time with them!”
He continued, “So [grandparents], keep bending the rules for your grandbabies. Because they’re gonna love you forever, and they’re gonna always share secrets with you. And they’re gonna feel like they have a safe space with you. Let the parents keep being those mean, wall-putting-up barriers. You don’t have any barriers — you’re grandma and grandpa!”
Snoop revealed that he likes to spoil his grandchildren, saying, “My grandkids, they know I got a bowl of candy when they come over. I got video games, I got whatever they want.”
The musician makes sure to attend important events, like birthday parties, but he goes incognito. “When I first started going to my grandkids’ parties, the parents would rush me: ‘Oh my god, it’s Snoop Dogg! Let me have a picture!’ So I had to figure out a way to take Snoop Dogg out of the party,” he said on an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” “So whatever the theme of the party was, I was going to come as that as the costume.”
