Snoop Dogg Pays Tribute to His Grandchild Who Passed Away

Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., is widely recognized for his legendary music career, but his devotion to family defines his true character. Married to Shante Broadus since 1997, Snoop is the proud father of four and a doting grandfather. Reflecting on his role as a parent, Snoop once said, “We become real men when we get to this level we’re at right now,” emphasizing the importance of fatherhood.

Despite his fame, Snoop prioritizes family. In a 2015 interview, he called his parenting a “7-plus” and highlighted his evolving relationship with his kids: “It’s based on me being a father, a mentor, and a friend.” His transition into grandfatherhood brought even greater joy. Known affectionately as “Papa Snoop,” he cherishes every moment, saying, “It’s just a spark of joy to look in his eyes and hold him.”

The family has also faced heartbreak. In 2019, Snoop’s grandson, Kai Love, passed away at 10 days old. This tragedy inspired the Kai Heart Foundation, which promotes healing and support for families in need. “He inspired me to help others through acts of love,” shared Kai’s mother, Soraya Love.

Through joys and challenges, Snoop remains a pillar of love and resilience, building a legacy of unity for generations to come.
