Snoop Dogg Embraces Grandfatherhood with Love and Laughter

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., better known as Snoop Dogg, has long been celebrated as a pioneering rapper and entertainer. Yet in recent years, a new role has brought him profound joy and a different kind of spotlight—that of a devoted grandfather. As of mid-2025, Snoop Dogg’s family continues to grow, and his open-hearted enthusiasm for his grandchildren has endeared him even more to fans worldwide.

Growing Family, Growing Joy

Snoop Dogg is a father to four children: Corde, Cordell, Cori, and Julian. His journey into grandfatherhood began in 2015 when his eldest son, Corde, welcomed his son Zion with then-girlfriend Jessica Kyzer. Since that time, the family has expanded to include eight grandchildren, including a recent and poignant addition—Cori Broadus’s daughter, born prematurely at just 25 weeks on February 28, 2025. After a challenging start, the baby has recovered and is now home, a milestone Snoop joyfully shared during a red carpet appearance at the TIME100 Gala in New York City in April 2025.

Vocal About His Love

Snoop Dogg doesn’t shy away from expressing how much his grandchildren mean to him. In a March 2025 interview with People.com, he shared, “My grandkids are my everything, because they all individually get a piece of my heart and they’re different.” This heartfelt sentiment reflects the unique bonds he forms with each grandchild.

Playful and Engaged Grandfather

Known for his playful spirit, Snoop has become famous for going all out at his grandchildren’s birthday parties. From dressing up as an alien, a giraffe, or even a shark, he fully embraces the joy of making special memories. In a September 2024 interview with Today.com, he recalled how party guests would excitedly react, “Oh my god, it’s Snoop Dogg!”—a moment he cherishes and embraces.

Beyond the costumes and fun, Snoop believes in spoiling his grandchildren in a loving way. In an October 2024 conversation on TODAY, he advised grandparents to occasionally “bend the rules”—letting kids indulge in candy or stay up late when parents aren’t around—to create a safe and joyful space where grandchildren feel loved and trust grows.

A Legacy of Love

From his music career to his growing family, Snoop Dogg’s evolution into a loving, hands-on grandfather showcases a different side of the legendary entertainer. His open affection and willingness to engage wholeheartedly with his grandchildren have made him a role model for multigenerational family bonds.

As the number of grandchildren grows, so does Snoop’s commitment to making their lives full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments—a testament to the deep joy he finds in family life.
