Rap singer Snoop Dogg declared he doesn't want to divorce his wife Shante Broadus. Snoop blames the music industry and the money on their split, admitting he cheated his wife of eight years.

He says: "I fell back in love with my wife and kids.

A lot of times you get cloudy. The music industry is a mother, man, and it'll take your vision and blur it.

But I need my wife and kids in my life. So if you hear about a divorce, it'll be my wife divorcing me. It won't be me divorcing her."

On 21 May 2004, Snoop Dogg filed for divorce from his wife Shante Broadus, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking joint custody of their three children, Corde, Cordell, and Cori. But they have reconciled since.

Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus born in October 20, 1972 in Long Beach, California, is famous for using slang invented by Frankie Smith of "The Double Dutch Bus" fame and popularized by fellow rapper E-40, much of which is simply derived by adding an "izz" or "izzle" sound to the word.

Snoop Dogg has worked with Silkk the Shocker, C-Murder, B-Legit, Babyface, Bad Azz, Bizzy Bone,Young Bellz, Mariah Carey, Bootsy Collins, The D.O.C., Daz Dillinger, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, and The Neptunes, among others.

Snoop Dogg's sound has been heavily influenced by funk, and R&B. Snoop Dogg's music features samples from earlier black artists and groups, including James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and Parliament - Funkadelic. (Wikipedia)

Great to hear that Snoop has realized where his foundation lies.. My boyfriend is talented and wants to have a "rap career" and my stomach get nauseated just knowing how illusional women make these men out to be have casual sex. The "rap men" are at fault too because they use their "titles" to lay these women down to have sex.

I have to give it Shante, she stuck in there with him and now he realizes. I see her only being happy from here on in....

i do feel snoop and his wife are a very strong couple that has survived well in there marriage. every marriage has it's own ups and downs. and the matter of fact is that they are publlicity themselves, media has there attention and every little thing is outraged. i like snoops wife and thing that she' s a very lovely lady. all in all they need to stay together and keep there family going, no matter the negative gossip and all., as that is what they are in for. they have survived 8 years together. which makes them soul mates. always remember north pole and south pole will always repel but believing in themselves is all they need. people will always talk and people only talk to bring down people and not to empower. So Snoop and Shantee keep moving on. God created Snoop for Shantee and Shantee for Snoop. Nowander you two have those beautiful child.
Koni!! and by the way i love ur show. ( snoop dogg's Father Hood)

Herer the thing that bothers me about this article is the attempted slander by the author who feels the need to feel that snoops contribution to the music inductry is on credited to his ablility to add izzle & izzy to words. he is a very talented rap "artist". Sometimes. the wrong " rap music " industry reporters have a pre-conceived notion of knowing who the artisit is but the fact is they don't.

Take a look at you before you think you know someone else.
