At 52, Snoop Dogg FINALLY Drops Bombshell At Wife Shante After 27 Years of Marriage | HO
At 52 years old, Snoop Dogg has finally opened up about his marriage to his wife, Shante “Boss Lady” Broadus, after 27 years of being together. The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, has long been known for his unapologetic attitude and laid-back persona, but in recent years, he’s taken a different approach to love, marriage, and family life. In a recent interview with People magazine, Snoop gave an in-depth look at his relationship with Shante, their ups and downs, and how they’ve managed to stay together despite facing numerous challenges.
Snoop and Shante’s love story began long before Snoop became a household name. The two were high school sweethearts, having met in the late 1980s in Long Beach, California. Despite Snoop’s rise to fame in the early ’90s, their bond remained strong, and the two tied the knot in 1997. Over the course of their marriage, they have welcomed three children: sons Cordé and Cordell, and daughter Cori.
In the interview, Snoop expressed his gratitude for Shante, crediting her with being the backbone of their relationship and helping him navigate the many challenges that come with fame. He described her as “a wonderful mommy, an amazing granny, a wonderful spouse, and a wonderful friend.” He emphasized that their bond goes beyond the typical love story; it’s one of understanding, forgiveness, and mutual growth.
“My wife is understanding of me. She knows how to show me how to act like a fool or cool, and I adore it,” Snoop said, praising Shante’s patience and ability to keep him grounded.
Despite the love and admiration they clearly share, Snoop and Shante’s relationship hasn’t been without its hurdles. The rapper has a well-documented history of infidelity, and over the years, there have been multiple reports of extramarital affairs. One of the most publicized instances involved Instagram model Selena Powell, who alleged in 2018 that she had an affair with Snoop, even going as far as releasing screenshots of their conversations and intimate details.
This incident, among others, led to widespread speculation about the state of Snoop and Shante’s marriage. Fans and media outlets alike questioned whether the couple would be able to overcome the ongoing rumors and Snoop’s admitted mistakes.
However, in 2020, Snoop released the song “Don’t Be Mad At Me,” in which he seemingly apologized for his past behavior. He rapped about feeling ashamed and almost losing his “queen” due to his actions. “I’m sick of apologizing for the same things,” Snoop admitted in the song, a rare moment of vulnerability for the rapper known for his tough exterior.
While Snoop has been more forthcoming about his feelings in recent years, Shante has remained relatively private, rarely addressing the rumors and media speculation directly. However, her social media presence has left many fans speculating about the true state of their marriage.
In September 2023, shortly after Snoop’s interview with People was published, Shante posted a cryptic message on Instagram that read, “Never beg someone for something you can get elsewhere without asking.” The post immediately sparked conversation among her followers, with many interpreting it as a subtle dig at Snoop or a reflection of her own frustrations within their marriage.
This isn’t the first time Shante has shared cryptic messages that hint at potential marital discord. In April 2023, she posted another meme that said, “They never cheat with prettier, they cheat with easier,” which also stirred speculation among her followers. While Shante has never directly addressed these posts or clarified their meaning, fans have taken them as possible indicators of her feelings toward Snoop’s past indiscretions.
Despite the public’s curiosity and the constant scrutiny, Shante has remained tight-lipped about her personal life, choosing not to engage in public discussions about her marriage.
In his interview, Snoop was candid about the difficulties he and Shante have faced over the years, acknowledging that there were times when he considered whether he would be better off single. However, he credits Shante with helping him realize the importance of family and sticking together through thick and thin.
“There were moments when I thought it would be better if I was single,” Snoop admitted. “But then I realized, she should have been there the entire time to defend me, to protect me. I’ve made bad decisions, but she’s the good to my bad.”
Snoop has often credited Shante with teaching him patience and the importance of family. In his own words, she’s helped him appreciate the value of being a father, husband, and now, a grandfather. The couple has 12 grandchildren, a testament to the life they’ve built together over the last three decades.
While much of the public focus has been on Snoop’s transgressions, there have been rumors that Shante may have had her own share of marital indiscretions. Earlier in 2023, Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight suggested that Shante had been involved in a relationship with another man, citing a photograph of her on vacation with an unidentified male companion. In the photo, Shante was seen with her head resting on the man’s shoulder, which Knight claimed was evidence of infidelity.
However, Shante has never addressed these rumors, and Snoop has remained silent on the matter as well. For a couple that has been through so much in the public eye, these rumors haven’t seemed to shake their foundation.
Ultimately, Snoop and Shante’s marriage has endured through a myriad of challenges, both personal and public. Snoop’s recent reflections on their relationship show a man who is committed to his partner, recognizing the mistakes he’s made but also the strength they’ve built together.
“Our marriage is about sticking together until death does us part,” Snoop said, emphasizing that no amount of disagreements or external factors could separate them. At 52 years old, Snoop seems to have come full circle, recognizing that the love and partnership he shares with Shante is rare and worth protecting.
Their journey serves as a reminder that long-term relationships require hard work, forgiveness, and a strong foundation built on mutual respect and love. Despite the ups and downs, Snoop and Shante remain an enduring couple, proving that true love can weather even the most difficult storms.
