Like most celebrity kids, Zion Kalvin is famous due to his family relations. The celebrity kid rose to fame as Snoop Dog’s eldest grandson. He was born to an American actor, comedian, and musician, Corde Broadus, and his ex, Jessica Kyzer. Although still young, Zion gained the public’s attention thanks to his grandfather’s legendary status in the entertainment industry.
Just over seven years ago, legendary rapper and songwriter Snoop Dogg became a grandfather for the first time. The joyous moment in the life of the iconic rapper came when his first son, Corde, welcomed a child with his ex-spouse, Jessica Kyzer. Although it’s been years, fans are curious about Snoop Dogg’s grandson and what he has been up to.
Here’s everything we know about the rapper’s grandson.
How Old Is Zion Kalvin?
Snoop Dogg’s eldest grandson was born Zion Kalvin Broadus in the United States of America on January 14, 2015. Hence, he is eight years old. Although his birthplace is unknown, reports suggest he was born in Los Angeles, California. In addition, Zion Kalvin holds American nationality and is of African-American ethnicity. However, reports suggest he is of mixed race, thanks to his mom.
Despite being the grandson of one the most successful rappers ever, most details about Zion Kalvin are kept private. Consequently, details about his upbringing, educational background, and achievements elude the media. However, reports suggest he is in elementary school and enjoys a happy childhood away from the public’s prying eyes.
Who Are Zion Kalvin’s Parents?
Zion Kalvin’s parents are Corde Broadus and Jessica Kyzer. According to reports, Corde Broadus, Zion’s dad, is a moderately famous entertainer. However, he hasn’t attained the same success level as Zion’s grandfather, Snoop Dogg. The possibility of that happening will not be for lack of trying, though, as Corde has already decided to follow in his father’s footsteps as an entertainer.
Corde started his career by appearing in his father’s music video with Pharell Williams titled “Drop it Like It’s Hot” when he was only ten years old. He has had ample opportunity to be a great rapper like his father. However, he has not limited his skill set to just the music world. Aside from singing, Corde entered into acting when he starred in his father’s reality TV series “Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood.”
Afterward, Zion Kalvin’s dad made his acting debut as one of the stars of the 2012 comedy film “We The Party,” where he played the role of Chowder’s DJ. Corde’s role in this movie brought him more into the general public’s consciousness. However, he has alternated between his career as an actor and a rapper, adopting the stage name Kalvin Love and dropping many singles like “La Musica.”
Zion Kalvin’s Mom
While most of his family are into showbiz, Zion Kalvin’s mom, Jessica Kyzer, is a licensed esthetician and makeup artist. She refers to herself as a Jane of All Trades, and while that seems a bit like an over-exaggeration, she has proven quite capable of handling a variety of professions.
Aside from working as an esthetician, Kyzer worked in the Medical Marijuana industry for over a decade. Her passion for a holistic lifestyle led to her “Holistic Ritual,” a brand that focuses on skincare and the proper way to go about it. Although Kyzer’s striking features make many assume she’s an actress and a model, she is not.
Are Zion’s Parents Married?
No, they are not. However, Zion Kalvin’s parents, Corde and Kyzer, became well acquainted in 2011. Their platonic relationship progressed to a full-on romantic relationship. In addition, Kyzer revealed in an interview that she enjoyed a cordial relationship with Corde’s family. Although online reports suggest that Zion’s parents may have tied the knot sometime in 2014, there are no facts to back up the allusions.
However, Corde Broadus and Jessica Kyzer had their son, Zion Kalvin, a year after their supposed marriage. The former couple continued to lead a happy life until years later when they broke things off and went their separate ways. While Kyzer has kept silent about the circumstances that led to the alleged divorce, so has Corde. Nonetheless, the then-couple remain close friends because of their son.
What Is Zion Kalvin’s Cause of Death?
Although fans ask about Zion Kalvin’s death, the celebrity kid is alive and healthy. However, his younger brother and Snoop Dogg’s grandson, Kai Love, passed away ten days after his birth on September 25, 2019.
Although Corde revealed Kai’s death in a now-deleted Instagram post, he did not disclose a cause of death or any other details. Aside from Kai, Zion Kalvin has two younger siblings, Leo and Elleven, from his father’s relationship with Soraya Love.

Will Zion Kalvin Follow in His Grandfather’s Footsteps?
