Snoop Dogg decided to go memory lane, releasing an old family picture of himself and his children, which some fans have admired. The post also attracted some mischief from other followers.

The picture showed the Pronto emcee sitting on a bench with his daughter on his lap while his sons leaned on him. He added some radiant emojis to the post to decorate it beautifully.

The three children are all said to be the product of the union between Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Broadus. A fan hailed the celebrated performer, saying, “A real man always stays with his kids.”

While some people were happy about the post, others questioned why the picture did not have Snoop Dogg’s third son, Julian Broadus, who he had reportedly had with another woman outside his marriage.

Snoop and his wife Shante Broadus have been married for 27 years, but some critics have been concerned about the rapper’s supposed infidelity, after he had another child called Julian, with a woman named Laurie Helmond.

Though some persons have wondered whether Snoop and Julian were on good terms, the latter is said to have been spotted in clothing from his father’s merch line and also shared throwback images of herself and her dad.

Last month, a close relative of Olympic gymnast, Simon Biles, revealed that Snoop Dogg gave the athlete’s father a Death Row Records chain as a 75th birthday present.

Adria Biles, sister of Simon Biles, shared in an Instagram post a photo of her father wearing the chain, with the caption: “Snoop gave him a chain, and now he doesn’t know how to act.”

The hip-hop legend featured prominently at the 2024 Olympics and has maintained a friendship with Biles, who won three gold and one silver medal at the event.
