All About Snoop Dogg's 7 Grandchildren

Snoop Dogg has fully embraced his title of grandfather

Snoop Dogg can't get enough of his grandkids.

Corde Broadus, a.k.a. Kalvin Love, made Snoop a grandfather for the first time in 2015 when he welcomed his first child, son Zion, with then-girlfriend Jessica Kyzer. The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper quickly took to being the family patriarch.

“[Zion] was the first one to name me. He used to call me Papa Noop, because he couldn't say Snoop, so he started calling me Papa Noop,” Snoop said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in 2024. “Then as time went by, he learned how to say Snoop, so now I'm Papa Snoop."

Snoop told PEOPLE that he particularly loved the moniker because it felt like a tribute to his own granddad. “That s--- means the world to me for them to call me that because I had a papa,” he said. “My grandpa was my best friend and for me to be that for my grandkids is showing that I actually did well.”

Now, being a grandfather is his crowning achievement in life. "My grandkids are my everything, because they all individually get a piece of my heart and they're different," he said in an exclusive clip shared with PEOPLE.

Here's everything to know about Snoop Dogg’s grandkids: Zion, Elleven, Cordoba, Kai, Sky, Chateau and Baby Broadus.

Zion Kalvin Broadus, 9

Corde and Kyzer welcomed their first and only child together, Zion Kalvin Broadus, on Jan. 14, 2015.

Upon his birth, Snoop shared the exciting news about becoming a grandfather on Instagram.

"Proud grandad. My ... grandson Zion !!🍼🙏🌟✨Jah bless,” he captioned a video of Corde holding Zion.

Since then, Corde has shared glimpses of his son, calling Zion his "first twin" alongside a selfie of them in 2021.

Now that Zion is getting older, his personality is beginning to shine through, and Snoop loves it.

"My oldest grandson Zion told me he's the biggest star in the family,” the rapper told PEOPLE in 2023. “He took my Snoop Loopz box and put his own little cover on the front and made his own cereal."

Elleven Love Broadus, 6

Corde and his now-wife, Soraya Love, announced the birth of their daughter, Elleven Love Broadus, on Aug 17, 2018.

The father shared the arrival of their family's latest addition on Instagram, writing that it was “an all natural birth with no [epidural] or drugs from beginning to end.”

Fast forward, Soraya celebrated her daughter’s fifth birthday with a touching tribute on Instagram in 2023 and revealed a little bit about her daughter's personality.

“This old soul/young Queen taught me how to be a mom when I didn’t even know how to change a diaper,” she wrote. “She helped me through the toughest years of my life and healed me.”

When Corde proposed to Soraya in December 2023, Elleven was part of the special milestone. After Soraya said yes, she posted about their engagement alongside a photo of her family at the beach.

“I love that the kids were involved in the proposal,” she wrote on Instagram. “I want them to learn relationships are not easy it takes a lot of healing past traumas, unlearning bad behaviors, RE-learning proper way to love, joining with your partner to help one another achieve that soul alignment with GOD.”

Cordoba Journey Broadus, 5

Snoop's family grew again when his son Cordell and his wife, Phia Broadus, welcomed their daughter Cordoba Journey Broadus on March 24, 2019.

The little girl — who goes by the nicknames Lulu and CC — is the light of her dad and granddad’s lives, and she has lots of hobbies and talents.

Cordoba is a blossoming athlete who loves to play and watch sports: In September 2023, she was thrilled to join her father to meet soccer star Alex Morgan. “Cordoba met her favorite soccer player today @alexmorgan13 @sandiegowavefc great day today,” he wrote on Instagram beside photos and videos of their encounter.

Cordoba's also a little fashionista who turned heads dressed in black and white while joining her grandparents at the Chanel fashion show in 2023.

“My 4 year old daughter Cordoba Journey front row at Chanel fashion show last night sittin pretty,” Cordell wrote on Instagram. “Way 2 handle ur biz baby starting them young uhearme.”

Even more impressive, she's already learning two different languages. “Raising a Queen 👑 She learning French & Spanish right now... most days are hard but it’s worth it,” her dad shared on social media.

Cordoba used those skills to help her grandfather prepare for the Olympics in Paris by learning a few words during a tea party in April 2024.

As for whether she understands Snoop's fame, it seems like she's just excited to see him on TV. "She sees me in the store in my little Corona ads and what not — [she says], 'Papa!'” he told PEOPLE in 2023.

Kai Love Broadus

Corde’s third child, Kai Love Broadus, was born on Sept. 15, 2019. Sadly, he died ten days later.

“My Son Kai brought so much love and positivity into this world," Corde wrote on Instagram. "His energy will live on and these 10 days of love will always be special to us. Let's all cherish life and those we love while we are here.”

Corde and Soraya have continued honoring their son following his death. The pair created the Kai Heart Foundation and have used his birthday each year to raise money and awareness for various causes, including clothing, toy drives and book donations.

“I always remind my kids that what we MUST give back because there are millions of people unable to afford new toys/clothes/ housing/ love/ basic necessities,” Soraya penned a post in March 2024. “This is why God blessed us so we can bless those in return this is a part of the purpose baby Kai gave us.”

Sky Love Broadus, 3

Corde and Soraya welcomed their son Sky Love Broadus on Feb. 20, 2021.

“I’m So Happy My 5th GrandBaby Boy Was Born Today 💙💙 #SkyLove,” grandma Shante Broadus wrote on Instagram alongside a video of him.

Soraya gave more insight into her son’s personality nine months after his birth.

“Sky turned me into a warrior in all aspects of life, nothing is a challenge anymore,” she shared on social media. “He is a wise spirit who has elevated my consciousness [and] sharpened my sword.”

In February 2024, Sky celebrated his third birthday with a Spider Man-themed party. “Sky felt so special that Spider Man came to visit him for his birthday, the celebrations just begun 😊,” Soraya wrote on Instagram. “He is so loved, thanks be to God for this little man🙏🏽🌟🎉.”

Behind the scenes, Sky and his cousins have inspired their grandfather to explore different ventures, including dappling in the entertainment space.

“I created a show called Doggyland. It’s a kids' show that I created for them because I was tired of them watching Cocomelon when I was spending time with them,” he said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in May 2024.

Chateau Broadus, 3

Snoop became a grandfather again when Cordell and Phia welcomed their daughter, Chateau Broadus, on March 10, 2021.

Like Sky's birth the previous month, Shante shared the exciting news online.

“I Was Down Earlier But She Just Took All Of That Away,” she wrote beside a sweet photo of the new baby. “My 6th GrandBaby Girl #ChateauBroadus 😍😍 I Love You Baby Girl Can’t Wait To Hold You In My Arms.”

Chateau may still be small, but she has a big personality. In February 2024, Snoop posted a fun video dancing with the little girl and her older sister Cordoba in the studio. The following month, Chateau showed off her colorful face paint at the San Diego Safari Park for her birthday.

Most recently, she tried her hand at modeling for the first time in June 2024, when she joined her sisters, dad and grandpa in a photoshoot swearing matching pink “Daddy's li’l girlz” tracksuits for Father’s Day.

Cordell Broadus’ Baby No. 3

In December 2022, Cordell and Phia surprised fans by sharing family photos featuring a big baby bump, revealing baby No. 3 was on the way. Snoop also shared the exciting news while talking to PEOPLE, saying, "I am a grandfather of six, with one on the way.”

It’s not clear when the baby girl was born, or her name, but the toddler has made heartwarming appearances in her family’s social media photos.

In January 2024, Snoop shared a sweet photo of the little girl and her older sisters, writing, “3 of my grad babies 🐝💙🥳🙏🏾🥰🥰.”

Another rare update on Snoop's youngest grandchild came in October 2024, when the rapper shared a photo of her wearing a black leotard in an Instagram post, writing in his caption, "My youngest. G baby sis 🌹😘💕."
