Rap legend Snoop Dogg is making headlines with a jaw-dropping gesture of love for his daughter, Cori Broadus. During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the 53-year-old artist revealed the most extravagant gift he’s ever given: a $1 million wedding present for Cori and her fiancé, Wayne Duece.
“You know what? It’s the truth,” Snoop shared with Hudson. “The only thing about this gift is she hasn’t opened it yet. It was a million dollars for her wedding.”
A Father’s Wise Advice from Snoop Dogg
Despite the generous gift, Snoop made it clear he had a more frugal wedding plan in mind. “I told her if it was me, my wedding would have been $100, and $900 would’ve gone in my pocket,” he joked, drawing laughter from the audience. Host Jennifer Hudson chimed in, saying, “Daddy is still teaching lessons, I’ll tell you that!”
Cori, 25, became engaged to Wayne Duece in November 2022. She announced the engagement on social media with a heartfelt post, calling it “the easiest YES ever.” However, the couple’s wedding plans faced delays after Cori suffered a severe stroke in January 2024. The rapper’s daughter, who has been open about her battle with lupus, is now focusing on her health while preparing for her big day.
A Wedding to Remember
Fans will get an inside look at Cori and Wayne’s journey in the upcoming E! docuseries Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story. The show, premiering Dec. 5, will document everything from planning the ceremony to navigating health challenges. A preview reveals Cori’s ambitious dreams for the event, including a star-studded guest list. “My dream would be to have Justin Bieber,” she shared, sparking a humorous response from her father: “You got too many goddamn dreams.”
Snoop also expressed his approval of Wayne, describing him as a perfect match for Cori. “As a father, you know. You’re not handing your baby girl to someone who won’t handle her with care,” he said.
The docuseries promises heartwarming and candid moments, capturing the love and lessons of Snoop’s role as a father.
