Snoop Dogg Says Daughter's Battle Against Lupus Made His Family Closer

Snoop Dogg really was living the life he described in his rap songs - one punctuated with women and drugs - and it was destroying his marriage to his wife, who is also the Mother of his three children:

"You know, I was caught up with Hollywood, and the girls and the night life," Snoop said in 2008.

Snoop even filed for divorce, but the couple reconciled and renewed their vows to celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2008; they were originally married in June of 1997.

"I thought I was the man and I was willing to give up what I had at hone for that, until I realized that what I had at home was irreplaceable, so I gave that up to go back home," Snoop said.

Now Snoop and Shante have revealed to People Magazine that the discovery that their then-6-year-old daughter, Cori (pictured above, third from right), had lupus was also one of the reasons that helped bring their family closer.




Initially, the couple noticed spots on their daughter's face. They saw her dropping large amounts of weight without explanation and they saw her hair coming out.

Doctor after doctor couldn't explain what was happening.

"I felt helpless," Snoop told People while fighting back tears. "No power, no friends."

Snoop's wife was also feeling desperate as she watched her child go through test after test:

"No one could tell me what was wrong. They drew tons of blood and said she has old-person cells. They gave her all kinds of [medication]. But she went downhill."

After the diagnosis, Snoop says he and his family went on a journey together to learn about the disease. That difficult process brought his family back together.

Sometimes it takes a tragedy or difficult times for people to realize what's really important in their lives. For Snoop, it was his daughter's illness.

Today, Snoop's daughter is healthier and enjoying being a teenager:

"She's the toughest little thing I've ever met," the rapper says of his daughter. "She's on the honor roll, playing volleyball and softball, living life. She has all this joy. In the beginning, lupus was winning. But now Cori is."

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease, where the body's defenses attack its own healthy cells as opposed to foreign viruses, germs and bacteria. Skin, joints and organs can be affected. The disease can be life threatening, and those who have it go through periods where the disease flares up and then goes in to remission.

Doctors do not know what causes the disease but believe it is related to a genetic mutation. Approximately 1.5 million Americans have the disease and women ages 15 to 44 are most prone.

Women of color are two to three more likely than whites to develop the disease.

Black women also develop the disease earlier, have more severe symptoms (including kidney problems) and are more likely to die from the disease.

Still, awareness about the disease is lagging, according to the Lupus Foundation of America. One survey found that only 40 percent of young people surveyed had even heard of the disease, although young adulthood is when the disease is most likely to strike.

Lindsay Lohan's 2010 Mug Shot

Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, Lindsay Lohan cracks a slight smirk in her new mug shot. She was booked around 10:11 a.m. at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California to begin her 90-day jail sentence. According to her booking sheet, the 5'6" star weighs 118 lbs.

Lohan was sentenced July 6 to 90 days in jail and a 90-day inpatient rehabilitation program for violating probation on an old DUI case. The actress will likely serve approximately 23 days behind bars because, according to Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore, female inmates in custody for nonviolent crimes generally serve about 25 percent of their sentence.

Her booking documents list her release date as Aug. 9.

Lindsay Lohan mugshot 2007 Lohan surrendered to officials at the Beverly Hills Courthouse on Tuesday to begin serving her jail sentence. Shortly after the hearing began, Judge Marsha Revel announced she was decreasing the 24-year-old's transition time between jail and her rehab stint from 48 to 24 hours.

Lohan was then relieved of her SCRAM device, handcuffed and taken by car to the Lynwood Correctional Facility.

"She's scared as anyone would be," Lohan's attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said Tuesday. "But she's resolute and she's doing it."

"She asks for your prayers and support" Holley said, adding Lohan "is accepting responsibility and [has] stepped up to the plate and is doing what has been asked of her."

Ice Cube Laughs At Lebron Joining The Heat, Says Lakers Are Still The Best

Rapper/Actor Ice Cube shares his comments towards Lebron Jame's decision to join the Heat.

The veteran west coast rapper Ice Cube recently blogged his feelings about Lebron James joining Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade in South beach.


"Kurupt is one of my favorite MC's. He's got complicated metaphors that are still gangsta, 15 minutes after he left the room in came Snoop. We talked about the Lakers kickin' the Celtics a** in the Finals. We laughed about LeBron joining The Heat. It won't work, Lakers are still the team to beat."


Being from the west coat could it be that Ice Cube is afraid of the new 3 headed monster in Miami? Since the announcement many entertainers have spoken on the new team including rappers like Rick Ross who has said



“I'm going to be the Jack Nicholson of the Miami Heat!”

Although many people have many different opinions of the situation, one thing is for certain is that the NBA will be filled with entertainment and everybody's two cent comments.
