Snoop Dogg has become a grandfather for the first time. The ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ hitmaker – who has children Corde, 21, Cordell, 18, and Cori, 15, with wife Shante, and 16-year-old son Julian from another relationship – is thrilled his eldest child has become a father for the first time, to a baby boy named Zion Kalvin.

Snoop, 43, posted a collage of images on his Instagram account showing members of his family cradling the new arrival and wrote: “Zion. U have a lot of love Waitn on u grandson!! (sic)”

He also added a video of Corde with his little boy and wrote: “Proud grandad. My son spank n grandson Zion!! Jah bless (sic)”

And Shante also shared a picture of herself with her new grandchild.

She wrote alongside it: “My First Born @1lovesociety Gave Me My First #Zionkalvin #Mamatae (sic)”

Snoop – whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr – has previously admitted he lets his kids do “whatever they want” and defended himself after pictures were published of him smoking marijuana with Corde when his son was just 18.

He said at the time: “My kids can do whatever the hell they want. For me to say otherwise would be hypocritical. A lot of motherfers don’t have a relationship with their kids, and that’s when they get on drugs and have suicidal thoughts and drive drunk. Me and my son is mellow. I’m his father, so I wanna show him the proper way because he looks up to me. What better way to get it than from the master?”

Nicolas Cage is a grandfather

Nicolas Cage has become a grandfather.

The 50-year-old actor’s son Weston, 23, and his wife Danielle welcomed a baby boy – their first child together – into the world on Tuesday and have named him Lucian Augustus Coppola Cage.

A representative for the couple told Us Magazine: “Lucian Augustus Coppola Cage was born on July 1, 2014, at 3:14 p.m”

Weston – whose mother is Nicolas’ ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton – and Danielle announced their happy news earlier this year and admitted the ‘Joe’ star was looking forward to becoming a grandfather for the first time.

Weston said previously: “My dad is ecstatic. He was elated immediately when he met Danielle.”

The couple also picked out the tiny tot’s name prior to his birth and explained in February where they had got the idea for the cute moniker from.

Danielle said: “Lucian is of Romanian descent, which is what I am, and Augustus is taken from Weston’s grandfather.”

Weston added: “His name is August. We honour him very much. He was of extreme brilliance. He was a genius.”

Meanwhile, Nicolas – who has been married three times in the past – also has eight-year-old son Kal-El with his current wife Alice Kim.
