Snoop Dogg Says Tupac Shakur Was ‘Training’ Him to Be a Good Dad While Raising Son Corde: ‘Tupac Loved Him’ (Exclusive)
Snoop Dogg recalled in an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE how his late friend, rapper Tupac Shakur, helped raise his first child 'around all of the homies' during studio recording sessions in the 1990s.
Now, in an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE for his cover story, Snoop recalls that period in his life fondly, particularly the help that his famous friend and collaborator Tupac Shakur gave him with his son.

Football helped me to become a real good father because I was around other men who were single parents, or either had a great wife, or was a grandfather raising their son’s kids — so much I could learn from them,” Snoop recalls.
