In an industry known for its pressures and fast-paced lifestyles, Snoop Dogg recently opened up about the secret behind his stability and groundedness: his wife, Shante Broadus. Speaking at a Raising Cane’s employee appreciation conference in Cancún, Mexico, on September 23, 2024, the legendary rapper emphasized the pivotal role his longtime partner plays in his life.

During a Q&A hosted by Raising Cane’s founder Todd Graves, 52-year-old Snoop was asked how he manages to stay centered amid his bustling career and personal commitments. His answer was heartfelt: “I attribute that to my wife. She’s like my backbone. You got to have trust and faith in other people, and I have so much trust and faith in my wife … when it comes to my family, my grandkids.” He illustrated her supportive nature by sharing how she even FaceTimed him from Disneyland shortly before the event, underscoring how family remains a priority for them.

A Love Story Rooted in Time and Resilience

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.—known worldwide as Snoop Dogg—and Shante Taylor (née Fuller) have been a couple since their high school days in the 1980s. They attended prom together in 1989 and eventually married on June 14, 1997. Together, they have three children: Cordé (born 1994), Cordell (born 1997), and Cori (born 1999), and the family has since expanded to include several grandchildren.
