Snoop Dogg has gotten by with a little help from his Hip Hop friends, as he called upon Wiz Khalifa, DJ Quik, and more to celebrate the opening of his wife, Shanté’s, new strip club called The Player’s Club.
TMZ was on hand to celebrate the grand opening of the Los Angeles venue on Wednesday (May 29), which also featured special guest appearances by DJ Drama, Sky High Baby, Tiffany Haddish, and Too Short in attendance.
Wiz was reportedly involved in a VIP “smoke session” with the Doggfather, and Shanté partied alongside P Valley actress Brandee Evans.
Check out some video and photos from the event below.
The name of the strip club, of course, is an homage to the 1998 film that marked Ice Cube’s directorial debut.
In 2021, Snoop Dogg brought Shante on board as his official manager.
According to a press release at the time, she was tapped to bring her vast, multi-dimensional expertise to her husband’s existing ventures in an effort to expand them. Additionally, she’d cultivate and fortify all upcoming partnership deals while overseeing the media arm of his empire, diGGital doGG.
Considering the couple has been together for over 25 years, it makes plenty sense the Long Beach native would entrust her with such an important role.
“Shante has been guiding my career behind the scenes from day one,” he said in a statement. “She has always been my final gut check with all my decisions, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. I am grateful to have her as my official manager, helping to build the Snoop Dogg empire together.
“The industry at large is seeing a major shift in more representation of Black women in key executive roles. I am excited to enter this official position, helping to further expand Snoop’s wide-ranging empire.”
She concluded: “I have been by Snoop’s side for over two decades, so together with the rest of the team, our goal is to strengthen Snoop’s legacy as a brand with the loyalty and trust of our guidance that has made Snoop who he is today.”
Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus tied the knot in June 1997 and have three children together.
