Rapper Snoop Dogg is the real jack of all trades and constantly pushes the envelope regarding his career path. This year, the rapper is a special correspondent for NBC at the 2024 Paris Olympics and simultaneously took on grandpa duties amidst his hosting ones.
In a post shared by The YBF Daily, a blog on Instagram, the rapper shared an image of him tying his granddaughter Cordoba’s shoelaces. Cordoba is Snoop Dogg’s son Cordell Broadus’ daughter; Cordell was also present at the Olympics alongside his longtime girlfriend, Phia Barragan.
“Grandpas duties while at the Olympics,” the 52-year-old captioned the image with his five-year-old granddaughter.
Cordell also posted footage from their family time at the Olympics. The images included himself, Snoop, and Cordoba posing with tennis rackets and playing tennis.
“Tennis with Grandpa in Paris it’s a blessing to be able 2 bring her around the world,” Cordell wrote in the caption.
This isn’t the ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ rapper’s only grandchild–he has six others. They include Zion, Elleven, Kai, Sky, Chateau and baby Broadus.
Snoop takes being a grandfather seriously, and his relationship with his grandfather may partially influence his dedication.
During a chat with PEOPLE, the artist said,“My grandpa was my best friend and for me to be that for my grandkids is showing that I actually did well.”
The television personality continued, “My grandkids are my everything, because they all individually get a piece of my heart and they’re different,” he said during his interview with PEOPLE.
Aside from Cordell, the record producer has three other children, including Corde, Julian, and his only daughter, Cori. Snoop Dogg presents as a family man and has been raising his children with his longtime wife, Shante Broadus, for decades. The couple got married in June 1997, and they’ve been low-key and focused on building their empire since.
