Snoop Dogg opened up about his 27 years of happy marriage with wife Shante, who first met at their high school in the 80s.
In a recent chat with People magazine, the 52-year-old rapper gushed over his wife, saying, “She understands me.”
“She’s a great mother, a tremendous grandmother, an excellent wife and a great friend. She knows how to push all of my buttons to make me act a motherf******* fool or to make me act cool, and I love it,” he noted.
The pair, who briefly separated in 2004, their relationship was not always a bed of roses but it has its ups and downs.
“In relationships like this, it’s a rocky road in the beginning because success is new to both,” Snoop said, adding, “‘Some things I want you to be a part of, some things I don’t want you to be a part of to protect you.’ But not knowing that she should have been there the whole way to protect [me].”
He further pointed out, “You learn as time goes by, ‘OK, you are in control. You run this, you run that, because I make bad decisions.’ The good to my bad is her.”
While revealing what he brings to the table in their marriage, Snoop said, “I’m a loving, caring, providing husband. My wife ain’t never worked a day in her life, and that’s what I love is that I’m in a position of where you don’t have to work. I am the work and you are my backbone.”
It is pertinent to mention that the couple tied the knot in 1997 and welcomed three children together.
