When it came to his Mother’s Day celebrations this year, the legendary rapper shared that he made sure the day was all about his wife of nearly 25 years, Shante Broadus.
Snoop explained he threw Broadus a “Woman’s Day” party, where only she and her fellow mom friends were allowed.
“It was all for her and her girls and that’s what you do, get out the way and let ‘em have some fun,” the rapper said.
Although Clarkson may have forgone the party route for her own celebration, she gushed over the wonderful Mother’s Day she was able to enjoy thanks to the “gift of time.”
