SNOOP DOGG'S LOVE CHILD WANTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Nine-year-old Julian Corrie Broadus comes out to Star Magazine.(December 31, 2007)
*A 9-year-old boy claiming to be the son of rapper Snoop Dogg tells Star magazine that he would love to be a part of his dad's new E! reality series, "Father Hood." I should be with him on the show, but I’m not,” says Julian Corrie Broadus of the program that features Snoop, his wife Shante and their three children Corde, Cordell, and Cori. “I don’t want to be an actor; I want to be a basketball player. But I want to be on the show to get to know my family,” Julian told Star magazine. “It would be so nice for all of us to just hang out together. I hope we can do that one day.” The tabloid says it has tracked down paternity documents to prove that Julian is indeed the biological son of Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus; and 34-year-old Laurie Holmond, who says she and Snoop have known each other since attending the same high school in Long Beach, Calif. Photo from Star magazine article Holmond tells Star: “We had a great relationship-until June of 1997, when I suddenly heard on the radio that he had gotten married. Calvin told me I wouldn’t understand, and he was right, I wanted nothing to do with him." But three months later, Holmond said she and Snoop hooked up at the Le Reve Hotel in Hollywood, and nine months later, Julian was born. “When I told Calvin I was pregnant, he said: ‘I don’t know how I’m going to tell Shante," she says. "But when Julian was born, Calvin was right there, and he took responsibility like a man." Holmond says that the rap star hasn’t seen their son since early 2003. She says Snoop was proven to be the father in June, when she took him to court to establish paternity. “I asked him to start seeing Julian again. He sounded sincere, but he has yet to come by," said Holomon. "Julian does spend a lot of time with his grandmother, Beverly-Calvin’s mom-whom he adores. But now Calvin needs to acknowledge him.”
