Wedding gifts can be a tricky tightrope to navigate, especially for parents. They’re probably already paying for all or most of the ceremony, so they may feel like giving a gift on top of that is asking too much. Of course, if your name is Snoop Dogg, the words “too much” aren’t in your vocabulary.
During a recent appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” the rap legend, and his daughter, Cori Broadus, played a game where they finished questions about their relationship. The “Gin and Juice” artist revealed that the “Most over the top gift” he’s ever given his daughter is a major wedding gift she hasn’t opened yet.
“The only thing about this gift is she never got to open it, or she hasn’t opened it yet,” he said. “It was a million dollars for her wedding.”
He also dropped some sound financial advice about the money.
“I told her if it was me, my wedding would have been $100 [thousand], and $900 [thousand] would have went in my pocket,” he said.
As previously reported by The Root, back in January, Broadus suffered a stroke, which postponed their wedding plans. According to E! Online, there’s still good news to celebrate, as the 25-year-old recently announced that she and fiancé Wayne Deuce are expecting their first child.
Turns out Snoop’s advice about the money is actually pretty good. Certified financial planner Maria Castillo Dominguez told CNBC that the rapper’s idea of saving for the future is sound.
“Snoop Dogg’s comment highlights the importance of prioritizing long-term financial stability over immediate gratification, which is solid advice,” Dominguez said.
Most things Snoop Dogg does spark conversation on social media, so you knew there would be plenty of opinions on him wanting to give his daughter $1 million.
Someone noted the big year the TV personality had, guessing Cori’s gift came from his work in Paris, writing on X, “That money from Olympics lol.”
Someone else had jokes about the rapper’s well known love of marijuana, posting, “You know that night turned into a Weeding.”
If you’ve seen any of his previous reality series, you already know the rap star is a big teddy bear when it comes to his only daughter, so we’re guessing he’s probably going to cry at the ceremony. The real question is how hype will he be at the reception, and how late will the party go?
