Wedding gifts can be a tricky tightrope to navigate, especially for parents. Theyβre 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 βtoo muchβ arenβt in your vocabulary.
During a recent appearance on βThe Jennifer Hudson Show,β the rap legend, and his daughter, Cori Broadus, played a game where they finished questions about their relationship. The βGin and Juiceβ artist revealed that the βMost over the top giftβ heβs ever given his daughter is a major wedding gift she hasnβt opened yet.

βThe only thing about this gift is she never got to open it, or she hasnβt opened it yet,β he said. βIt was a million dollars for her wedding.β
He also dropped some sound financial advice about the money.
βI told her if it was me, my wedding would have been $100 [thousand], and $900 [thousand] would have went in my pocket,β he said.
As previously reported by The Root, back in January, Broadus suffered a stroke, which postponed their wedding plans. According to E! Online, thereβs still good news to celebrate, as the 25-year-old recently announced that she and fiancΓ© Wayne Deuce are expecting their first child.
Turns out Snoopβs advice about the money is actually pretty good. Certified financial planner Maria Castillo Dominguez told CNBC that the rapperβs idea of saving for the future is sound.
βSnoop Doggβs comment highlights the importance of prioritizing long-term financial stability over immediate gratification, which is solid advice,β 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 Coriβs gift came from his work in Paris, writing on X, βThat money from Olympics lol.β
Someone else had jokes about the rapperβs well known love of marijuana, posting, βYou know that night turned into a Weeding.β
If youβve 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 weβre guessing heβs 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?
