Snoop Dogg is going all out for his daughter Cori Broadus’ wedding!
While appearing alongside Cori on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday, Dec. 2, the rapper, 53, was asked to share the “most over-the-top gift” he’s ever given his daughter.
“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,” the Voice coach cryptically replied, before revealing his lavish present.
“It was a million dollars for her wedding,” he continued, as the audience began clapping and cheering and Cori, 25, said while grinning, “That’s right, that’s right!”
Hudson, 43, jokingly responded, “What do you ask for after that?” Oh, my goodness!”

Snoop then jumped in to explain that if it were up to him, the wedding would be a more scaled-down affair so the money could be saved. “I told her if it was me, my wedding would have been $100 [thousand] and $900 [thousand] would have gone in my pocket,” he said.
“Daddy is still teaching lessons, I’ll tell you that,” Hudson declared, with a laugh.
Snoop’s comment that Cori — whom he shares with wife Shante Broadus — has yet to open her gift appears to be a reference to the fact that her wedding to fiancé Wayne Duece was postponed after she experienced a “severe” stroke in January.
Cori and Duece — who got engaged in November 2022 — are set to take fans behind the scenes of their wedding journey in the new E! docuseries Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story, which premieres on Thursday, Dec. 5. In a teaser for the show, Cori makes it clear she has big plans for her nuptials.
When it comes to entertaining her guests, she says, “My dream would be to have Justin Bieber,” prompting her father to jokingly reply, “You got too many goddamn dreams.”
Cori also wants Duece to make a memorable entrance at their ceremony. “I’m a princess so the prince has got to do it big,” she explains.

During Cori and Snoop’s appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” singer shared that he feels confident that Duece is “the one” for his daughter, per E! News.
“As a father, you know. I’m gonna speak for him because, 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,” the musician told Hudson.
Snoop also said he sometimes encourages Cori to ease up when she and Duece are having issues or disagreements in their relationship. “He’s always in the right,” he explained of his future son-in-law. “If anything, I gotta talk to her about, ‘Hey, let off of him a little bit. Back up!’ “
Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story is produced by Death Row Pictures and 101 Studios. Snoop Dogg, Shante Broadus, Sara Ramaker, David Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin and Alexander Lipsitz served as executive producers, while Eliot Goldberg oversaw the series for 101 Studios.
The series premieres Thursday, Dec. 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on E! Episodes will be available to stream on Peacock.
