Snoop Dogg, renowned for his iconic style and smooth rhymes, is more than a hip-hop legend. He’s a devoted family man, proud grandfather, and husband to a woman he calls his “spine” — the unwavering support behind his success.

Recently, fans couldn’t help but admire Snoop Dogg’s stunning wife. Meet Shante Broadus, the woman who’s been by his side through every high and low, and learn about their incredible journey together.

Born Calvin Broadus, Snoop Dogg rose to fame in the ’90s, becoming one of hip-hop’s most influential artists with hits like Gin and Juice and collaborations with Dr. Dre. Beyond music, he’s expanded into acting and even cooking shows with Martha Stewart. Through his fame and career shifts, his wife Shante has been a steadfast presence, providing both personal and professional support.

As Snoop’s fame grew, Shante often helped him navigate business deals, and their connection deepened over the years. They married in 1997, with Shante becoming his anchor amidst the industry chaos. When their daughter, Cori, was diagnosed with lupus, the couple’s bond was tested. Snoop shared, “Shante and I cried a thousand times,” and the experience ultimately brought the family closer. The crisis marked a turning point for the couple, who decided to work on their relationship instead of proceeding with a divorce. In 2008, four years after nearly separating, they renewed their vows.

Shante is much more than just the wife of a hip-hop icon; she’s a skilled businesswoman and philanthropist. Following Cori’s diagnosis in 2005, Shante and Snoop created a fashion collection featuring bold patterns and colors that reflected Cori’s optimism and resilience. The collection was both a show of support and a tribute to their daughter’s strength.

Shante’s accomplishments extend beyond fashion, as she’s also a producer and has collaborated with Snoop on various projects. Her youthful looks and graceful style have captured attention as well, especially when Snoop recently posted a video in August showing the couple together, with Shante stunning in a sleek white outfit.
