He is one of those American celebrities that are famous for their work so far in the world of music, specifically in the hip hop genre. The Long Beach native loved music since he became self aware but had a troubled childhood. Broadus was jailed severally in his teenage years for drug possession and even one time for murder until he was found not guilty.
When Cordozar decided to take his music career seriously, he met with Dr. Dre in 1992 who eventually became his first producer. The West Coast laid-back rapper has the distinction for having the most Grammy nominations of any music artist without having won one. Who knows what the future holds for him, as he’s not showing signs to retire any time soon. Over the years, Snoop has advocated actively for the recreational use of marijuana.

Snoop Dogg wife
Shante Broadus (spouse)
Duration of Marriage: June 12, 1997 till present
They have been together since high school and many years down the line are still the very goofy lovers they were at the start of their friendship. Broadus and Snoop are today one of the lucky couples in entertainment today who have managed to celebrate decades in their wedding anniversary but this does not mean they did not have their own marital troubles at some point. On May 21, 2004, the famous singer filed a divorce from his wife Taylor (her maiden name) citing irreconcilable differences but it was later called off and the lovers renewed their wedding vows on January 12, 2008 at a surprise ceremony he organized for the lovely Boss Lady (as she is fondly called).
According to him, he was trying to get a divorce but went back home and fell in love with his wife and kids. The hip hop star admitted that a lot of times, people get cloudy in their thoughts especially with him being in a music industry where one can easily fall off track and develop misplaced priorities. He is grateful he realized early that his wife was irreplaceable and not the party and girls he had been caught up with. Today, the high school sweethearts are over 20 years and still counting. Looking back now at how much of a roller coaster their relationship has been, the music star can only conclude that they were chosen for each other.
