All About Snoop Dogg’s Grandkids
The Voice Coach loves doting on his grandbabies.
Snoop Dogg has earned many titles over the years. He’s a Grammy-nominated artist, a Coach on The Voice Season 26, and a proud dad of four kids. But his favorite title these days has to be “Papa Snoop,” his grandchildren’s adorable nickname for the rapper.
Snoop (whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) shares sons Corde, 30, and Cordell, 27, as well as daughter, Cori, 25, with his wife Shante Broadus. He’s also a dad to son Julian, 26, with Laurie Holmond. Through his two oldest sons, Snoop is a grandfather of seven.

"[My grandchildren are] different ages, ranges, sizes and I love them all the same way,” Snoop said on the Jennifer Hudson Show in 2024, adding they all call him “Papa Snoop."
Snoop has said that being a grandfather has made him want to “better” himself. “My grandbabies, man, like having kids was the greatest experience I ever had. But having grandbabies is an even better experience because all the mistakes I made as a father I get to make up as a grandfather,” he told Access Hollywood. “I get to, you know, try to better myself and be better for them and that’s what life is about.”
Snoop goes all out for his grandbabies. As he revealed to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, he goes undercover to their birthday parties to make sure the attention stays on them and not their famous grandfather. “When I first started going to my grandkids’ parties, the parents would rush me … So I had to figure out a way to take Snoop Dogg out of the party," he said. His solution? Dress up as the theme of the party and stay in costume the whole time. He’s come as a giraffe, a shark, and even “Buzz Lightworth,” as Snoop calls the Toy Story character.
