Julian Broadus rose to fame as the son of a famous rapper, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., famously known as Snoop Dogg. Julian’s father has been a renowned music industry musician for over two decades. Snoop Dogg’s fame dates back to 1992 when he featured on Dr. Dre’s debut solo single, “Deep Cover.”
The famous rapper has since sold over 23 million albums in the United States and 35 million albums worldwide. In addition, he is the recipient of several accolades, including an American Music Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and 17 nominations at the Grammy Awards. However, despite Snoop Dogg’s success in the music industry, Julian remains the least known of the rapper’s children due to his birth circumstances.
According to reports, before the rapper married Shante Monique in 1997, he had an extra-marital affair with Laurie Holmond. Holmond became pregnant but broke up with Snoop Dogg. Hence, she raised Julian before going to court to claim that the rapper was her son’s biological father. Upon the discovery of Julian Broadus as Snoop Dogg’s son, the internet went bustling.
Here’s everything we know about the rapper’s son.
How Old Is Julian Broadus?
Julian Broadus is 25 years old. He was born Julian Corrie Broadus in June 1998 in the USA, a year after his father tied the knot with Shante. While there are no details regarding their relationship, Laurie and the rapper’s affair led to the birth of Julian. However, Julian coming into the picture made things awkward for Snoop Dogg and his wife.
Throughout his marriage, the rapper has faced a string of cheating accusations. While none of his alleged affairs led to a child, the child with Laurie Holmond greatly affected his marriage. Consequently, Julian Broadus grew up away from his father’s fame. Hence, most details about his early life elude the media.
Despite growing up without his father, Julian had wonderful memories when he was younger. During his birthday celebration in 2020, he shared several photos of himself as a child and during his teenage years in honor of his special occasion.
In addition, the rapper’s son also bared his love for his mom during Mother’s Day in 2022, sharing photos of them in different stages of their life. He rounded off this tribute with a simple yet meaningful statement at the end of his pictures, “My mom > everything.”
What Does Snoop Dogg’s Son Do?

Aside from his music career, Julian is also a “hooper,” suggesting his interest in basketball. According to reports, the rapper’s son played basketball in school and once participated in late basketball star Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy. However, he couldn’t pursue professional basketball due to a hand injury.
Although not as famous as his father, Julian released songs in 2018. In an interview that year, he revealed that he wanted to forge his path to music without the perception that he was riding on his father’s success in the industry.
He also said that he can handle criticism regarding the quality of his music but doesn’t want his achievements to be solely attributed to Snoop Dogg’s connections, as he believes in his talent. In addition, the 25-year-old artist said he strives to maintain a positive atmosphere around himself and his work to avoid negativity.
Julian belongs to a new wave of young musicians in the industry, alongside Ice Spice and Lil Uzi Vert. Besides music, Julian recently ventured into the Metaverse and now sits as the executive director for promotions at Voxel X Network, a company involved in the NFT and gaming space.
