During the segment, “Snoop & Cori’s Confessions,” Jennifer asked Cori about the last time she lied to her famous dad. After a brief pause, Cori candidly admitted, “Probably today. He asked me if I was on my way yet and I told him, ‘Yes,’ but I had to do some other things before, so I really wasn’t on my way.”

Snoop also shared a humorous memory about a gift he gave Cori for her 16th birthday — a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, commonly known as a G-Wagon. However, the luxury car was later confiscated by his wife, Shante, after Cori misstepped, though the details were not disclosed during the show.
One of the most memorable moments came when Jennifer asked Snoop about the most extravagant gift he ever gave Cori. While fans might have expected another luxury car or a designer item, the answer was far more unexpected — and grand.
Snoop revealed that the gift was tied to Cori’s wedding plans. “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,” he teased. The audience leaned in with curiosity as he explained, “It was a million dollars for her wedding.” The revelation sparked applause and cheers from the live audience, while Cori proudly confirmed, “That’s right, that’s right!”

Snoop added a light-hearted twist to the conversation by contrasting his approach to wedding budgets with Cori’s lavish preferences. “But Jen, I told her if it was me, my wedding would’ve been for $100,000, and $900,000 would’ve went in my pocket,” he said, eliciting laughs from the audience. Jennifer chimed in with her own humor, declaring, “Daddy is still teaching lessons, I’ll tell you that.”

Beyond her public appearances, Cori’s life has been filled with significant milestones, some challenging moments, and exciting plans for the future. In January 2024, Cori suffered a stroke, an experience she later recounted in the trailer for the E! special “Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s Story,” which aired in November 2024.
Reflecting on the terrifying incident, Cori revealed, “My health was declining… Doctor comes in, ‘Cori, you had a stroke.’ I’m hurting, I’m scared. Why is this happening to me?”

The health scare came at a particularly demanding time in her life, as she and her fiancé, Wayne Duece, were planning their dream wedding with a massive 750-person guest list — all within just four months.
Balancing her health and wedding preparations wasn’t easy, but Cori’s determination reflected her optimistic spirit. “I’m a princess, so the princess gotta do it big,” she noted, showcasing her confidence and unique charm.

Cori, now 25, is gearing up for her long-awaited wedding to Wayne, whom she has been in a relationship with since 2018. The couple got engaged in November 2022, but their plans for the big day were unexpectedly postponed following Cori’s ailment. The health scare put her wedding plans on hold, but it also showcased her resilience and the massive support of her family.
Fans eager to learn more about the couple’s journey will have an opportunity to do so through the upcoming special, “Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s Story,” which premieres on Thursday, December 5, 2024. The program promises an intimate glimpse into Cori and Wayne’s life, including preparations for their much-anticipated nuptials.
In a teaser for the three-part docu-series, Cori revealed her grand vision for the wedding, emphasizing her desire to make it a memorable event for her guests. One particular detail stood out — her dream of having Justin Bieber perform at the celebration. True to form, her dad responded with humor, saying, “You got too many [expletive] dreams,” showcasing the playful dynamic between the two.
Cori Broadus, born on June 22, 1999, is Snoop and Shante’s youngest child and only daughter. She was only six years old in 2005 when she was diagnosed with lupus, a devastating autoimmune disease.
At the time, her parents, Snoop and Shante were separated. However, their daughter’s diagnosis brought the family back together as they rallied around their daughter during her health crisis. The experience was life-changing for both parents. “Shante and I cried 1,000 times,” the “bad decisions” rapper recalled.

Cori’s diagnosis became a turning point for the couple. Faced with their daughter’s struggle, they chose not to go through with the divorce, opting instead to work on their relationship. In 2008, four years after their near-breakup, the couple renewed their vows.

Following Cori’s diagnosis in 2005, her parents found a unique way to support her through a difficult time. Lupus often causes hair loss, and as Cori’s hair began to fall out, she started wrapping her head in scarves to feel more comfortable. Shante and her husband began wearing scarves alongside their daughter, turning what could have been a painful experience into a family tradition.

“I would put a scarf on her, and so she wouldn’t feel like she was the only one wearing scarves, we all wore scarves with her to make her feel less alone,” Shante explained.
Inspired by Cori’s resilience, the couple launched the Broadus Collection, a line of vibrant scarves designed to empower the lupus community and encourage self-expression.
