The iconic rapper Snoop Dogg often makes headlines, and recently, he has been doing so with an exciting halftime show scheduled for Christmas Day.
While his talent is widely known and appreciated, another major reason behind his long-lasting success is his wife, Shante Broadus, who has supported him throughout his career. In this article, let’s take a look at who she is and how the couple first met.
Who Is Shante Broadus, and When Did Snoop Dogg Meet Her?
Even before Dogg entered the music industry, he had a few loyal fans, his high school friends. One of them was none other than Broadus, which she herself shared while speaking with W Magazine in 2021.
“Even before he came out (as a musician), our friends and I were his fans,” Broadus said. “We would always listen to his songs and give our opinions. When he became popular, I was still helping them with deals and offers.”
The couple tied the knot in June 1997. As they have often shared, from their early days in high school, they learned to understand and support each other’s goals. This has been one of the main reasons they have remained strong as a couple, even after 28 years of marriage.
They have three children together, sons Corde and Cordell, and daughter Cori. Additionally, Dogg also has a son, Julian, from a previous relationship.
While Dogg is a world-renowned artist, his wife Broadus is an entrepreneur. She is the founder of Boss Lady Entertainment, a music management company, and is also involved in several other business ventures.

In addition to these big names, Dogg previously revealed that more special guests will appear as surprises during the halftime show.
The NFL Christmas Day games will be streamed on Netflix, with the hip-hop icon ready to rock the event with his halftime performance. Dogg has promised fans a blend of music, love, and, most importantly, good vibes on Christmas Day.
“NFL, Netflix, and your Uncle Snoop on Christmas Day?” Dogg continued. “We’re servin’ up music, love, and good vibes for the whole world to enjoy. That’s holiday magic, Santa can’t fit in a bag.”
A thrilling matchup, popular performers, and the surprise element of special guests during halftime have only added to the excitement surrounding the Lions–Vikings game, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the big event.
