How Many Kids Does Snoop Dogg Have?

Snoop Dogg Has 4 Children — Meet Cordell, Cori, Julian, and Corde

Snoop Dogg is an industry veteran, but when he's not dominating at the Super Bowl or hamming it up with BFF Martha Stewart, he's just a down-to-earth dad, trying to do the best for his brood.

The rapper and "Day Shift" star has four adult children: sons Corde Broadus and Cordell Broadus and daughter Cori Broadus with wife Shante Broadus, and son Julian Broadus with Laurie Holmond.

For Snoop, his approach to parenting is simple: he wants his children to have the opportunities he didn't have growing up in California. "The struggle that I went through, that my mother went through, I didn't want my kids to have that, I wanted them to understand that it's okay to struggle, but I want to help you avoid some of the things in life that I did and teach you what I was taught, but show you how to get to the top a little bit faster than I was able to," he explained during a 2014 appearance on "The Queen Latifah Show."

Still, Snoop, 50, is humble when it comes to his skills as a dad. He told "Today" back in 2015 that he'd rate himself as a "7-plus" on the parenting scale, noting he has things to "work on." No matter what, though, Snoop said his "relationship with my kids is more important than anything. It's a friendship relationship . . . it's based on me being a father, a mentor and a friend."

Here's what to know about Snoop's four children.

Snoop and Shante's oldest son, Corde, was born in 1994 and is 27 years old. Cordae has briefly tried his hand at acting, appearing with his dad in the 2012 film "We the Party." And also just like his father, he's a rapper, releasing music as Kalvin Love, most recently his June track "808."

He also made Snoop a grandfather, welcoming his first child with Jessica Kyzer in 2015, a son named Zion. Corde and longtime partner Soraya Love also share daughter Eleven Love, born in 2018, and a son Kai Love, who was born in 2019 but died on Sept. 25 of that year, just 10 days after his birth.

Cordell Broadus was born to Snoop and the rapper's wife, Shante, in 1997 and is 25 years old. He once played on the UCLA football team, though he left in 2016 to pursue "other passions," the coach said at the time. Cordell also explained on Instagram that he "played football for my father because I thought that was the only way he would love me & be apart of my life. It took me 12 years to realise he loves Cordell Broadus the person not Cordell Broadus the football player."

Now, Cordell — who also goes by Champ Medici — works as a crypto entrepreneur and is launching an "early stage investment fund targeted at all things Web3 and on the Blockchain," according to his website, Welcome to the Block. He also serves as creative director for Hello, a crypto entertainment company.

Cori, Snoop's youngest child with Shante, was born in 1999 and is 23 years old. Cori has long lived with lupus, with Snoop telling People in 2010 that he felt "helpless" when she first started dealing with the autoimmune disease as a child. "She's the toughest little thing I've ever met," Snoop told the outlet at the time. "She's on the honour roll, playing volleyball and softball, living life. She has all this joy. In the beginning lupus was winning. But now Cori is."

According to Teen Vogue, Cori recently clapped back at social media trolls who implied her longtime boyfriend, Wayne Duece, was dating her to get close to her famous father. Said Cori in response, "why can't he just love me for me?" She added on her Instagram Story, "It's deeper than just being his daughter. I'm my own person I'm more then [sic] that."

Julian was born to Snoop and Laurie Holmond in 1998 and is 24 years old.

According to Julian's Instagram profile, he now works in social media management and marketing and names himself as an executive leader for Voxel X Network, which is a "decentralized community-driven GameFi & Metaverse ecosystem." In a press release announcing his role, Julian spoke of his love for gaming, saying, "I am very anxious and excited to help bridge the connection between gamers and developers. At the same time, I'm seeing how the crypto gaming industry will be molded by Voxel X!"
