Snoop Dogg as a Family Man & a Grandfather

In 2007, Snoop shared insights into his family values while promoting his reality show, “Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood,” aiming to highlight the often-unseen side of hip-hop artists as family men.

Speaking to “People,” Snoop emphasized, “I got kids, and I always play my music for them. I like to hear what they like. They think I’m old, but I think I’m young.”

Reflecting on his journey as a father, he added, “Ninety percent of rappers grew up without fathers, but you see ninety percent of those rappers becoming fathers to their kids. We don’t ever get commended for that. We become real men when we get to this level we’re at right now.”

The coach for Season 26 of “The Voice” has continued to be actively involved with his family as it has grown. In a 2015 interview with “Today,” he expressed humility about his parenting, rating himself as “about a 7-plus” as a father, with areas he wanted to improve.

“My relationship with my kids is more important than anything. It’s a friendship relationship … it’s based on me being a father, a mentor and a friend,” he said.

When asked about his role as a grandfather, Snoop indicated he planned to take a lenient approach, describing himself as a “gullible, get-away-with-everything kind of grandpa.”

While talking about his first experience with grandparenting, he shared, “It’s just a spark of joy just to look in his eyes and to be able to hold him. I thank my oldest son for making me a grandfather.”

The “Boss’ Life” rapper’s extended family remains central to his life. In January 2024, he spoke about his grandkids on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” explaining how each grandchild calls him “Papa Snoop,” a name that originated from a nickname his eldest grandson gave him as a young child.

Snoop said, “[My grandkids are] different ages, ranges, [and] sizes and I love them all the same way. Actually, my oldest [grandson’s] birthday is today so I’m on my way to his birthday party when I leave here.”

He recalled how his oldest grandchild initially called him “Papa Noop” due to difficulty pronouncing “Snoop” before eventually learning to say his name correctly.
