Snoop Dogg received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 20, 2018, with his wife, Shante Taylor, standing beside him for the ceremony. The rapper marked the occasion with kisses for Taylor as family and friends gathered on the boulevard.
The appearance put the couple back in the spotlight after a long relationship that has included both strain and reconciliation. They have been married for 21 years, share three children — sons Cordé and Cordell, and daughter Cori — and Snoop also has a son, Julian Corrie, with Laurie Holmond.
The pair briefly split in 2004 and had moved toward divorce before calling it off. Four years later, they renewed their wedding vows, a detail that framed the public mood around the star unveiling.
The honor arrived just four days before the 25th anniversary of the release of Doggystyle, Snoop’s debut album. By then, the 47-year-old performer had released 16 studio albums since being discovered by Dr Dre in 1992.
His commercial record was already substantial. The archive account says he had sold more than 23 million records in the United States and 35 million worldwide, while also building a screen career with appearances in films and television projects including Baby Boy, Scary Movie 5 and Starsky & Hutch.
Shante Taylor wore a black blazer covered in stars for the event, while Snoop took his place at the center of the unveiling. The ceremony underscored both his longevity in music and the family support around one of hip-hop’s most recognizable figures.
