Snoop Dogg’s Secret Son – Julian Corrie Broadus Wiki (Age, Bio, Pictures, Net Worth)
The internet society, as usual, went abuzz after rumors and whispers emerged about another possible male child of one of the world’s most famous rappers, Snoop Dogg.
In the juicy narrative that’s now no longer an allegation or rumor but a proven fact, the veteran rapper, whose official names go by Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., is the biological father of twenty-two-year-old Julian Broadus.
Snoop Dogg could do little to invalidate the paternity claims against him, particularly considering he had a romantic history with Julian’s mother. Besides, parentage tests that prove his direct fatherhood turned out positive.
Exactly twelve years ago, Julian was just like any other normal kid, living a simple life with his mom. He didn’t know a lot about his father and the popularity that shone through his name.
However, in 2008, his private life made its debut to the public eye when word that Julian Corrie’s father was quite the famous type and none other than the skilled rhymer Snoop Dogg. Like a bushfire, the news spread fast in all of America and the rest of the world.
I wouldn’t blame Snoop Dogg for doubting his blood relations or taking his sweet time before agreeing that he was indeed responsible for his son. Anyone can forge claims against you in times like these, to taint your name or keep you on edge.
As long as you are a popular figure in this world, there’s always something for people to talk about, prove, or disprove.
Laurie Holmond is Julian’s mom
When he first heard about the allegations about him being the biological dad to Julian Broadus, Snoop Dogg was pretty reluctant to publicly justify the claims or admit that he was indeed the father.
He only admitted a while later and agreed to support his son after Laurie Holmond made her way to court to prove the claims legally.
Laurie Holmond and Snoop Dogg didn’t randomly meet in a party, public sermon or political rally. In fact, they had a strong connection and history that dated back to their heydays in high school.
When Laurie Holmond revealed to Snoop, her extramarital lover, that she was pregnant, he couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t that kind of surprise that lifts you above the air and fills you with butterflies and ecstasy, but the kind that gives you all sorts of disappointments and stress.
Snoop Dogg didn’t know what he would say to his wife, Shante Broadus, about having a child out of wedlock. Regardless, Snoop took the bull by the horns and stood steadfast with Laurie throughout her pregnancy to his son’s birth.
Snoop Dogg’s Reaction to Julian’s Paternity
For Shante Broadus and Laurie Holmond, the journey to discovering Julian’s true fatherhood had different sides but was, in fact, the same coin.
Shante knew Snoop had quite a history when it came to unfaithfulness, and she didn’t imagine the situation would spiral more out of control as it did.
Being the legal wife to Snoop, she had rejected her husband’s separation demands on a previous occasion. She only partly obliged to separation when Snoop tabled a second filing, which happened to be around the same time during his controversial extramarital situation.
On the other hand, Laurie was persistent in proving that Snoop was Julian Corrie’s birth father.
When members of the public started questioning the allegation’s timing, Laurie wasn’t hesitant in knocking the magistrate’s chambers for clarification and justification.
Snoop first heard about his illegitimate offspring in 2008. Because he was quite popular and couldn’t afford to taint his name as an absentee dad or chief of the extramarital community, Snoop refuted all claims linking him as the father to Julian Corrie.
Holmond had to bring in her ex-lover and former high-school lovebird to court to partake in paternity tests and settle the raging wildfire once and for all.
As you would expect in many current scenarios, the test results were in Laurie’s favor. Snoop had no other alternative but to accept full responsibility for fathering his other child.
Since then, Snoop has taken care of Julian as his own son but failed to publicly associate with him or include him in his reality show that featured the rapper’s regular family life. The show often included his wife and three other children.
Julian’s Career and Connection with Snoop
During an interview, Julian revealed that he was especially in need of a fatherly figure and the love that comes with equal parentage in his early life. The aspiring pop and RnB musician only knew about his possible kinship connection with the rapper when he turned nine years old.
Despite Snoop Dogg finally agreeing to support him as a father, the young Julian was at first pretty unhappy about his father’s prolonged absence and estrangement that particularly came with their relationship.
An older Julian now believes that the separation from his father might have been an important lesson in his life – he no longer feels any resentment toward his father for not being present.
As any other young kid with no fatherly figure feels, Julian felt he needed the tough love and consistent counsel of a dad in his childhood and adolescence.
Now mature and ambitious, Julian Corrie Broadus aspires to follow in his dad’s footsteps and make it big in the music industry.
In his social media posts, Julian often pours his heart out to fans about his boundless love for both his mom and dad, despite being away from both of them.
He especially attributes his character and attitude to his mother, who he believes molded him into the person he is now.
When he was a bit younger, Julian loved playing basketball and aspired to become a great player one day.However, due to an arm injury, the player turned musician now prefers to pursue his love for music until he achieves greater heights – his dad the pacesetter.
While pursuing his dreams, Julian speaks about doing his best to write his own success story. He wouldn’t want critics to associate his achievements with him being the son of a renowned rapper.
According to Julian, you can forge your own path and become whomever you choose to or want.
Unlike his dad, however, Julian is an avid lover of softer vibes, poetry, and the likes of pop and RnB; music for the soul. We hope to be seeing more of his music out in the spotlight soon. He’s quite chilled for now and doesn’t release his music, not any that we know of.
Julian started his music career some years back, but because of the commitment and quality he believes are required of modern music, he’s still perfecting his art before presenting his sound to the world.
Besides following his passion, Julian studies at the University of California, where he hopes to graduate with a degree.
Julian’s other family
Shante Broadus, who is still legally married to Snoop Dogg, is the mother of three of her husband’s other children.
However, Snoop and Shantel live in separate houses and only happen to appear together in official ceremonies demanding their couple’s presence. Cori is the only daughter of Shante and Snoop Dogg. The two sons are Cordell and Corde.
Cordell and Corde are already proud fathers – Cordell has a daughter with his girlfriend while Corde fathers a son and a daughter.
Snoop Dogg’s sexual sprees couldn’t go unnoticed by his family and a fair share of the paparazzi. Most of the time, he preferred enjoying a night at a sex or strip club, and his wife Shante knew all about the infidelity.
On discovering that his antics couldn’t guarantee him a healthy marital life, the rapper decided to seek separation by filing for divorce. Shante thought the skepticism would pass in due time and therefore rejected his husband’s appeal for a legal separation.
However, when news about Julian Broadus and his connection to his husband erupted, Shante knew that her patience had reached its limits. That’s why she physically separated from her husband, even though they are still considered husband and wife.
Sources claim that Shante and Snoop agreed that he would only provide Julian’s financial support and wouldn’t associate with his son at a personal or family level.
The influence of Julian’s paternity (being Snoop Dogg’s son) on his life
Being connected to any popular figure, especially as a son or daughter, comes with public scrutiny and many expectations.
Fans and lovers of Snoop’s music are now eyeballing Julian, watching his every move, anticipating that he lives up to his dad’s legacy in the music industry.
However, Julian discloses that he loves music entirely because it’s what he likes, not because of any impact or coercion from his father.
The upcoming star also wishes to chart his own course without involving his father’s legacy because he prefers to earn his success rather than critics opine that his father was the key figure in his accomplishments.
As he continues to study and learn more about music, Julian Corrie Broadus endeavors to rebuild his relationship with his dad despite not meeting or associating as much as he would have wanted in his past life.
