Snoop Dogg and Shanté Broadus
When Snoop Dogg saw her in high school, he knew that Shanté would be the one woman— despite all the vixens in his videos, album covers, or DMs— that would have his heart and be the boss lady of his life. The mother of three of his children, Shante is one cocoa momma that is not about the bull crap, almost divorcing the “Doggystyle” rapper after catching him cheating one too many times.
But the two came together to stand with their daughter Cori was diagnosed with lupus,
worked through it as a family, and by 2008 (their 10th anniversary), they renewed their
vows. This also activated her mogul mode. Aside from her Boss Lady Entertainment, a company that helped shape Snoop’s early career, also manages The Compound, a music recording, production, and events space in Los Angeles that has hosted artists like Nipsey Hussle, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, Nelly, her husband and so many more. She is an efficient producer that has her pretty manicured fingers in films, televisions, and documentaries— including the 2012 Snoop doc, Reincarnated, and the family’s reality series, Snoop Dog’s Fatherhood on E! Her particular skill set and entertainment savvy secured a spot as one of the talent managers under Michael Strahan’s company, SMAC Entertainment.
She is also the co-founder of the Snoop Youth Football League and the founder of I Am
Shante Foundation.
