Among many well-wishers who reacted to the rapper's post, his wife Shante Broadus was present in the comment section. She put up blue heart emojis and the hands of prayers.

A few days before Mother's Day, Snoop Dogg posted a series of pictures of his beloved mom and asked fans and the general public to have their prayers up for her. Many celebrities joined in the interaction, saying their well-wishes.

He built his brand around the nickname his mom gave him when he was a child.

Snoop Dogg alluded that he was going through some stormy times, and his mom could really use prayers from his large fanbase. The star, however, did not mention his reason for the request.

Over the years, Snoop Dogg has been known for his chart-topping music, tumultuous moments, and unique relationship with his mom. In time past, the star has shared snippets of how their love for each other worked.

Tate raised her son and his siblings as a single parent, and they have shown gratitude for how she stood by them. From time to time, Snoop Dogg posted updates on how he would show her love.

The matriarch has also proved to be the one to call her son to order when the need arises. This was the case after he went off on Gayle King for questioning Kobe Bryant. In essence, Tate called him to order and asked him to tender an apology.

Snoop Dogg, real name, Calvin Cordozar Broadus, goes down in history as one of the most recognized rappers, and he built his brand around the nickname his mom gave him when he was a child. Tate used to call her son "Snoopy" as a light joke.

The rap star made a name for himself, initially starting out under the tutelage of Dr. Dre. Before long, music lovers gravitated towards Snoop Dogg through his albums including, "Doggystyle," and "The Doggfather."
