Snoop Dogg delighted fans with a heartfelt moment during his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on December 2, 2024, where he revealed a stunning wedding gift for his daughter, Cori “Chocc” Broadus. Snoop shared that he had set aside a whopping $1 million for Cori’s upcoming wedding to her longtime partner, Wayne Duece. True to his playful personality, he added with a grin, “It’s true, but the catch is she hasn’t opened it yet!” The announcement, equal parts generous and humorous, gave audiences a glimpse into Snoop’s pride as a father and his unique way of celebrating his daughter’s big day.
Cori and Wayne’s journey to the altar hasn’t been without challenges. They got engaged in November 2022 and were excitedly planning their wedding when, in January 2024, Cori experienced a stroke. The health scare put their plans on hold and forced them to refocus on her recovery. Despite this difficult chapter, the couple is back on track, preparing for a wedding that promises to be a grand affair. Their story is set to unfold in a new docuseries, Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story, premiered on December 5, 2024. The series will showcase their journey through love, health struggles, and the intricate world of wedding planning.
Snoop has been vocal about his role as a father and his hopes for his daughter’s marriage. He shared that his primary concern is ensuring Cori is with someone who treats her with the love and care she deserves.
“As a father, one thing you know is when it’s your baby girl, you ain’t gonna hand her off to nobody who ain’t gonna handle her with care,”
he said, showing his protective yet supportive side. At the same time, his humor shone through as he joked about the wedding budget, quipping that if it were up to him, he’d spend just $100,000 on the wedding and save the rest. His advice to Cori about the gift was practical: spend 10% now and save the remaining 90% for the future—a philosophy that has resonated with both fans and financial experts.
For Cori, the wedding is shaping up to be a fairy tale come to life. She dreams of making a dramatic entrance, perhaps by helicopter, and has even floated the idea of having Justin Bieber perform at the event. With a guest list of 750 people and just four months to plan, it’s no small task, but Cori remains focused on making her vision a reality.
“I’m a princess, so the prince has got to do it big,”
she said, summing up her excitement for the big day.
Planning such a lavish celebration hasn’t been without its challenges. Cori’s stroke earlier this year brought emotional and physical hurdles, but she has approached the process with resilience. The couple has also navigated the usual wedding stress, with Cori lightheartedly describing Wayne as a “bridezilla” at times. To keep their relationship strong amid the pressures, they’ve embraced premarital counseling, a move that reflects their commitment to building a lasting partnership.
As public figures, Cori and Wayne have dealt with their share of rumors and scrutiny, including speculation about their relationship’s stability. Through their upcoming docuseries, they hope to set the record straight and share their story with honesty. The series will also highlight their entrepreneurial journey, including their beauty business, Choc Factory, which they’ve built together as a testament to their shared goals and values.
Cori and Wayne’s relationship started during their teenage years and has grown through years of love, challenges, and mutual support. Snoop has been a steady presence throughout, offering advice and encouragement, even while teasing his daughter about her wedding plans. “He’s the one,” Snoop said of Wayne, a statement that reflects both his approval and his trust in Wayne as a partner for Cori.
