Snoop Dogg, the renowned rapper and entertainment mogul, is making headlines once again, this time for his extraordinary generosity towards his daughter, Cori Broadus. As a devoted father of the bride, Snoop Dogg is pulling out all the stops to ensure Cori’s wedding is nothing short of spectacular. The highlight? A staggering $1 million wedding gift for Cori and her fiancé, Wayne Duece.
During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on December 2, 2024, Snoop Dogg revealed his impressive pre-wedding present. He disclosed that he gifted Cori a whopping $1 million to realize her dream wedding. “You know what? It’s the truth, but the only thing about this gift is she never got to open it or she hasn’t opened it yet,” Snoop shared, adding, “It was a million dollars for her wedding.” This revelation quickly sparked widespread interest, highlighting the depth of Snoop’s paternal affection and his commitment to making his daughter’s special day truly unforgettable.
Despite the substantial sum, Snoop Dogg playfully admitted he wouldn’t personally spend it all on a wedding. He humorously told Jennifer Hudson and the audience, “I told her if it was me, my wedding would have been $100 and $900 would have gone in my pocket,” showcasing his down-to-earth perspective even amidst such extravagance. This comment offered a glimpse into Snoop’s practical nature and added a touch of humor to the grand gesture.

While the reason behind Cori not having “opened” the gift remains somewhat mysterious, sources like People magazine suggest it might be linked to the couple’s earlier decision to postpone their wedding plans. Cori faced a significant health challenge earlier in the year, suffering a “severe” stroke in January. This understandably put wedding planning on hold as Cori focused on her recovery and well-being.
However, with Cori’s health improved, wedding preparations are now back on track. Excitingly, the journey leading up to their nuptials will be documented in a new E! docuseries titled Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story. This series promises to give fans an inside look at the wedding planning process, family dynamics, and perhaps even more details about Snoop’s generous gift and Cori’s vision for her big day.
In a promotional clip for the docuseries, Cori reveals some of her ambitious wedding aspirations. “My dream would be to have Justin Bieber,” perform at the wedding, she confessed. Snoop’s response, “You got too many goddamn dreams,” was delivered with his signature blend of humor and fatherly affection, highlighting the fun dynamic between father and daughter. Cori also expressed her desire for a “royal-worthy affair,” stating, “I’m a princess so the prince has got to do it big,” emphasizing her grand vision for the celebration.

While the exact wedding date remains under wraps, Cori hinted in a clip that it would be “four months” away. She also mentioned wanting a substantial guest list of 750 people, as reported by RTT News. These details suggest that Snoop Dogg’s generous million-dollar gift might indeed be largely allocated to creating the lavish wedding Cori envisions.
Cori and Wayne’s relationship dates back to 2019, and they celebrated their engagement in November 2022. Essence magazine noted the couple’s adorable matching pink pajamas during their engagement announcement. Wayne’s proposal was a heartfelt affair, taking place in front of family and friends, including Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante. He presented Cori with a stunning pear-shaped diamond engagement ring, further symbolizing the couple’s commitment and the anticipated grandeur of their wedding.
Snoop Dogg’s million-dollar wedding gift to Cori is more than just a financial contribution; it’s a testament to his love for his daughter and his desire to make her wedding dreams a reality. As fans eagerly await the premiere of Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story, the anticipation for what promises to be a spectacular and heartfelt celebration continues to build.
