The 52-year-old musician, Snoop Dogg revealed the sweet nickname his grandchildren give him, People reported.
During a conversation with host Jennifer Hudson during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Snoop said, " I have a total of 12 grandkids." "They're different ages, ranges, sizes and I love them all the same way. Actually, my oldest grandson, his birthday is today so I'm on my way to his birthday party when I leave here." "He's going to be nine years old, that's Zion Broadus," Snoop said. "Well, he was the first one to name me. He used to call me Papa Noop because he couldn't say Snoop, so he started calling me Papa Noop. And then as time went by, he learned how to say Snoop, so now I'm Papa Snoop." In a video from Words + Music: From the Streets to the Suites that he released with PEOPLE in June, the rapper talked candidly about his grandchildren, as per People. "I am a grandfather of six, with one on the way. And my grandkids are my everything because they all individually get a piece of my heart and they're different," he said in the clip. "My oldest grandson Zion told me he's the biggest star in the family. He took my Snoop Loopz box and put his own little cover on the front and made his own cereal." "And then my granddaughter CC (Journey), she plays tennis, she loves her papa. She sees me in the store in my little Corona ads and whatnot -- [she says], 'Papa!' That s--- means the world to me for them to call me that because I had a papa." He added, "My grandpa was my best friend and for me to be that for my grandkids is showing that I actually did well and I was able to outlive the circumstances. Now I can look back -- I can teach those who want to get to this level. Or at least give them a blueprint and help them avoid some of the traps that had to deal with." (ANI)
