Not many people know who[b] julian Corrie broadus [/b]is. And only few can tell that he is the son of Snoop Dogg birthed outside wedlock three months after his father got married to his wife Shante.

He is the product of a love triangle that didn't really favor his mother, Laurie Holmond.

And so as a child he lived outside his fathers fame. The opulence that became the structure of his fathers other kids would remain a mystery unto the young lad, not until recently.

Imagine watching your dad on TV and yet unable reach out. Growing up with the dream of the day you meet him again was the undertone of Julian Corrie Broadus childhood.

The sex affair that briefly took place between his parents at the Le Reve Hotel in Hollywood three months after his dad's marriage would get his mother pregnant. And nine months later he was born into a world that would try to deny him his rights in 1998.

The world would get to know about his existence when he was nine years old. She proved to the world that Snoop was really the father of her child through a paternity suit.

And the rapper afterwards agreed to take full responsibility. Even taking Julian Corrie to live with him in New York with the other kids and his wife.

Before Julian Corrie Broadus became part of his dad's inner circle, he lived a life that completely suggested that Snoop Dogg was being a deadbeat dad.

As a child growing up Julian openly lamented the absence of his father in his life and wondered why the rapper would not want to have anything to do with him.

In an interview with Fameolous, he talked about how the pain from living life without a father was gradually becoming bearable “I’m almost a grown man so my mind isn’t as heavy as it used to [be],”

But lucky for him, his father finally came through and that rich life is now his everyday reality. Like  his father he says he has a calling for music and that would be his career path.

“I’ve always knew music was what my life was really about, but I pushed it away trying not to be like my father,” he said. “But I got older and stopped pushing it away and I’ve never felt better or more passionate about something”.

The news of Julian Corrie Broadus was one too heavy for the home front where Snoop Dogg must now have to face his biggest fears.

His wife! The one woman he wanted desperately to protect from the truth. He knew they would be problems.

Snoop was aware of the child but his wife wasn't. It was a long and dark secret that could shatter his home. One big secret just few months after marrying his high school sweetheart, Shante Taylor, on June 12, 1997.

And for those long years, the rapper harbored the secret like life itself until the media made it public. The problem the public knowledge of his secret brought with it almost crashed his marriage.

The problems led Snoop Dogg to file for divorce from Taylor, citing irreconcilable differences. But their marriage was a strong one and so would refuse to die. The marriage would not allow a child born out of love ruin the structure of its existence. The marriage knew the only way out was to forgive and bring the child home.
