Snoop Dogg and Cori Broadus Share Family Secrets on 'Jennifer Hudson Show'

Snoop Dogg and Cori Broadus share laughs on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" as they reveal family secrets.

Snoop Dogg and his daughter Cori Broadus made an appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show," sharing funny and heartfelt stories about their father-daughter relationship. The episode, which aired Monday, gave viewers a lighthearted glimpse into their lives, showcasing the iconic rapper's unique parenting style and the bond he shares with his daughter.

During a game segment led by Jennifer Hudson, Cori admitted that the last time she lied to her father was earlier that very day. "He asked me if I was on my way yet, and I told him yes, but I had to do some other things first, so I really wasn't on my way," Cori said, eliciting laughter from the audience and her father.

Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was then asked about a time Cori had been grounded. He recalled a humorous incident involving her car. "I bought her a Jeep Wagon for her 16th birthday, but her mama took it away. All of a sudden, her mama was driving the Jeep Wagon," Snoop said, laughing. Cori nodded and added that her mom would even drive her around in the car meant for her. "She don't play," Cori said, acknowledging her mother's strict but loving parenting.

"The Voice" host also shared the most extravagant gift he had given Cori—a million dollars for her wedding. He noted that the gift remained unopened as Cori's wedding had been delayed due to health issues earlier this year. Cori Broadus and her fiancé Wayne Duece got engaged in November 2022, and the couple has been documenting the ups and downs of planning their wedding for an upcoming E! special titled "Snoop's Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne's Story." Unfortunately, their ceremony was postponed after Cori suffered a stroke at the beginning of the year. Fans can follow their journey when the series airs on Thursday, December 5.

Snoop also talked about his upcoming album 'Missionary' with Dr. Dre, their first collaboration in 30 years. The 15-track album features singles like "Gorgeous" with Jhené Aiko and "Another Part of Me" featuring Sting and Russ. The album, which also includes collaborations with Eminem, 50 Cent, Method Man, Jelly Roll, Tom Petty, and BJ The Chicago Kid, will be released on December 13.

Yak Gotti Stabbed in Jail, Appears in Court as YSL Verdict Still Pending

Rapper Yak Gotti, whose real name is Deamonte Kendrick, was stabbed inside the Fulton County Jail on Sunday while awaiting a verdict in the Young Slime Life RICO case. Despite his injuries, Kendrick appeared in court on Monday as jury deliberations continued without a verdict.

Attorney Doug Weinstein confirmed that Kendrick was injured during an altercation at the jail's South Annex in Union City, Georgia. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office said Kendrick sustained minor injuries from a sharp object during a fight with another detainee. He received treatment, including staples to his head, according to Weinstein, who said Kendrick was "doing really well."

“It’s a shame that anyone held in our jails has to go through that,” Weinstein said outside the Fulton County Courthouse. He added that Kendrick remains hopeful about being released soon.

Fulton County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Natalie Ammons confirmed in an email that Kendrick and another detainee were involved in a physical altercation and that an investigation is underway to determine the aggressor. “This is an active investigation to determine the aggressor in this incident and if charges will be pending,” Ammons said.

Kendrick is one of two remaining co-defendants in the YSL trial, along with Shannon Stillwell. Both were among 28 people indicted in May 2022 on charges including conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, murder, drug, and firearms offenses. Jury selection for the trial of six defendants began nearly two years ago, making it one of Georgia's longest-running trials.

Kendrick and Stillwell rejected plea deals offered by prosecutors, unlike Young Thug — real name Jeffery Williams — who, along with three other defendants, accepted plea agreements in October. Young Thug pleaded no contest to RICO and gang-related charges, resulting in probation after serving more than a year and a half in jail.

Prosecutors argue that YSL, also known as Young Slime Life, is a criminal street gang linked to numerous violent offenses. Defense attorneys contend that YSL is a record label, Young Stoner Life, not a criminal organization.

Kendrick, who raps as Yak Gotti, faces charges including conspiracy to violate the RICO Act, murder, gang activity, drug offenses, and firearm possession. Stillwell faces similar charges, including two counts of murder and gang-related offenses.

Young Thug’s plea deal includes conditions such as staying away from Atlanta for 10 years, performing community service, and avoiding gang associations or firearms. His co-defendants' decisions to reject plea deals mean they remain in jail while the jury deliberates their fate.

The jury began deliberating last Tuesday and took a break for the Thanksgiving holiday. Deliberations will resume this week.

The NFL has announced an all-star lineup of New Orleans music legends for the Super Bowl LIX pregame show, set for Feb. 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome. The event will feature performances from Jon Batiste, Trombone Shorty, Lauren Daigle, and Ledisi, all of whom have deep ties to Louisiana and its rich musical culture.

The Super Bowl, which will air live on FOX, aims to celebrate the iconic music scene of New Orleans. “We're honored to work with this year's pregame lineup to celebrate the rich musical legacy of New Orleans and the entire state,” said Seth Dudowsky, head of music at the NFL in a release announcing the lineup. “The Super Bowl is a rare moment to unite fans around the world, and this year's performers will bring the energy, soul, and vibrant sounds of the region to a global stage.”

Five-time Grammy winner and Academy Award-winning artist Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem. A New Orleans native, Batiste is known for his work as a singer, songwriter, and composer, and recently released "Beethoven Blues (Batiste Piano Series, Vol. 1)," which debuted as the No. 1 classical album. He also composed the score for the critically acclaimed film "Saturday Night" by director Jason Reitman.

Trombone Shorty, born Troy Andrews, will join Grammy Award-winning artist Lauren Daigle to perform "America the Beautiful." Trombone Shorty, known for blending funk, soul, R&B, and rock, is a New Orleans legend who began performing at Jazz Fest at age four and has shared stages with acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters. Daigle, a Louisiana native, is celebrated for her powerful vocals and her 2018 album "Look Up Child," which made her the first female artist to reach the Top 10 on both the pop and Christian album charts simultaneously.

Ledisi, another Grammy Award-winning artist from New Orleans, will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Known for her powerful voice and commanding stage presence, Ledisi has earned international acclaim with 15 Grammy nominations and a win for Best Traditional R&B Performance. She has also performed at prestigious venues such as the White House, the Kennedy Center, and Carnegie Hall.

In addition to the musical lineup, the pregame show and the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show will feature American Sign Language (ASL) performances. Stephanie Nogueras will sign the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "America the Beautiful," Otis Jones IV will interpret "Lift Every Voice and Sing," and Matt Maxey will deliver an ASL rendition of the halftime show. The ASL performances will be supported by Alexis Kashar of LOVE SIGN and Howard Rosenblum of Deaf Equality.
