After rising to fame in the early 1990s with his debut album Doggystyle, Snoop Dogg quickly became a prominent figure in the West Coast hip-hop scene and a key player in the genre’s evolution. With his unique laid-back flow and storytelling abilities, he made his mark in the music industry. Although the rapper became one of the biggest, most loved artists in the industry, he never strayed from his values and morals.
In fact, the 53-year-old has stuck to his guns so much so that he even turned down a $100 million OnlyFans in respect for his wife of 27 years, Shante Broadus.
The reason Snoop Dogg gave up a $100 million OnlyFans deal
Over the years, Snoop Dogg has become known for his humor and interest in various businesses. After all, the rapper started his own line of dog clothes and accessories, wrote his own cookbook, and even started a marijuana-based business called Leafs by Snoop. However, earlier this year, the 53-year-old revealed that he was invited to expand his brand to OnlyFans.
In an Instagram Live on Wake & Bake with Double S Express, Dogg opened up about a deal that was brought to him by the subscription-based platform. He stated that they had offered him a $100 million deal. However, he had turned it down.
They were like, ‘OnlyFans wants you to come on there, Snoop. You could do about $100 million. All you gotta do is pull that thang out.’ I’m like, I got a Black wife. Ain’t no way in the world she gonna allow me to go on there and pull that thang out for no amount of money.
Although the rapper immediately rejected the offer, the interaction was recently brought up again. During an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a fan asked him to confirm what happened. She also wanted to know if he regretted his decision to turn it down.
Snoopy immediately confirmed the deal that could have been. However, he claimed to have no regrets about shutting it down. He also joked, “The only part that regrets it is my friend down there.”
While he made light of his regrets, the rapper chose to put his relationship with his wife, Shante Broadus on top of his priority list. After all, the couple have been together since 1997 and have faced their own struggles to get where they are today.
Snoop Dogg sheds light on his marriage to Shante Broadus
Just like Snoop Dogg’s hip-hop career, his marriage to his high-school sweetheart, Shante Broadus, has been a huge success. After dating all through their teens, they tied the knot back in 1997 and have never looked back. In fact, the couple has had one of the most enduring unions in the entertainment world.
However, it has not without its own fair share of struggles. In an interview with People just last month, the 53-year-old opened up about the problems that the couple faced when the rapper’s success took off.
In relationships like this, it’s a rocky road in the beginning because success is new to both. ‘Some things I want you to be a part of, some things I don’t want you to be a part of to protect you.’ But not knowing that she should have been there the whole way to protect me.
Although Dogg and Broadus briefly split in 2004, they managed to patch things up and come back stronger than ever. The rapper explained, “You learn as time goes by, ‘OK, you are in control. You run this, you run that, because I make bad decisions.’ The good to my bad is her.”
The Sweat rapper and his wife may have taken their time navigating their marriage and what worked for them. But they seemed to have found their groove. After all, the couple just celebrated their 27-year wedding anniversary.
