Dad rules
Snoop brought Corey, then 8, to a 2008 taping The Ellen DeGeneres Show where DeGeneres asked Cory if her father was a strict parent.
“You say I am not strict. Tell Ellen how old you have to be to have a boyfriend,” Snoop quipped.
Corey then called out “77.”
Snoop later gushed that parenting is “(his) love” and “job,” even though he’s keeping it tough.
“I’m difficult. I curse them, but my philosophy is to pick on them and then pick them up,” he explained. “This is what I do to tell them that I expect more from them because they are better than that. … I’m like the best example for them to show them how someone can come out of a negative environment and create a positive path for themselves.”
Just a few regrets

What’s in a name
Corey named his cosmetics line Choc Factory by Choc as a nod to his father.
“When I was a little girl, my dad called me ‘Choc’ because I was cute and chocolate-colored,” she said Essence in August 2022 “And that’s what I put into my products, which are handmade and filled with love and a touch of sweetness.”

“You have to let the kids be adults and as soon as they need your information, you’re there as a parent to give it to them,” he added.
Screen sharing
Elsewhere on his 2024 Today appearance, Snoop reversed their decision to participate in reality television.
“We wanted to do a show based on her and the things she goes through and how she copes,” he said. “Such a beautiful show because you see a young woman going through things in life with the support of her father and mother, but she has to go through them alone.”
A seven-figure wedding gift
Corey got engaged to Wayne Deuce in November 2022. Before their wedding day, Snoop went all out with his gift.
“The only thing about this present is that she never got around to opening it or hasn’t opened it yet,” the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” singer told The The Jennifer Hudson Show in December 2024 “It was a million dollars for her wedding – that’s right.”
He added: “I told her if it was me, my wedding would have cost $100,000 and $900,000 would have gone into my pocket.”

“They may tell us something, but our experiences may be different than what they experienced as a couple,” she recalls. BET in December 2024 “You just have to get through it, pray about it and just be there for each other. At the end of the day, things will get tough. It won’t always be the honeymoon scene. I feel like what people don’t realize is that relationships are hard work in general.
