Shante Broadus: The Boss Lady Published: Monday - December 24, 2007 Words by La'Juanda Knight

It has been said time and time again that behind every powerful man, there is an even more powerful woman. However, depending on the man, it is sometimes difficult to see the puissant presence of his better half who undoubtedly aided him in being the man that he is. What you do see is that man portrayed as the leader and his women as his loyal arm candy in many cases. The woman is so much a shell that we might not even bother to know her name. When you meet Shante Broadus, you can dismiss all of those presumptions. She is not only Snoop Dogg's better half and mother of his three children, but she is also Shante, Snoop's "Boss Lady." You can even go as far as dropping the Snoop and simply calling her "Boss Lady." Why? Her character is weighty enough to handle the role.

Shante: I don't think it's a big step because people know us. It's not international. But when we move, people know who we are. Our kids are old enough now. I feel that they can handle it and I can handle it. We have been in this life, so I have been teaching them how to live. Not just through Hollywood, so they straight. People are just going to see us internationally now, but that was going to come one day any way.

BallerStatus.com: Are you worried about the reactions of your friends or extended family members? Shante: No. As far as my family, I worry about them, but anybody else, no I don't worry about it. People are going to talk about you regardless no matter what you doing or how you doing it. You're going to be talked about, especially if you're popping. Once you're not popping any more, then they not talking about you. So, I want them to talk because then I know I'm popping. BallerStatus.com: Okay, so you know you popping then? Shante: (laughs) BallerStatus.com: You mentioned your family's reaction. What in particular are you worried that they might see on the show? Shante: Really I'm only worried about my mother and my grandmother. Everybody else better understand. I'm worried that my mother or grandmother might see something they don't like -- me cussing. I have the upmost respect for my mother and grandmother at 32, so that is the only thing I'm worried about. If I say the wrong thing and they don't like what I said. Other than that, I'm not worried about nothing or nobody else. BallerStatus.com: You are being real. You know who is important and who matters in the big scheme of things. Shante: Exactly! BallerStatus.com: A lot of celeb couples do a reality show and they suffer the reality show jinx. They begin to have problems with their marriage shortly after the show. Are you at all worried about that happening to you? Shante: No, because... BallerStatus.com: You have been together a long time. Shante: We have been together a long time and that is on the strength of me. I'm a real person and he knows that. He tried to go and do what he wanted to do and he did and he came back. He seen that it don't get no better than this.

BallerStatus.com: (laughs) Shante: (laughs) I mean, I know what I'm working with. I know what I teach my kids. I know what my mother and grandmother taught me. It can only be who you are. I'm not what these other reality shows are. BallerStatus.com: How do you put up with his pimp persona? Shante: Basically, well you want to speak on something? Say one thing and I can go off that. BallerStatus.com: Honestly I haven't heard anything lately about Snoop. I mean more so the image he portrays in his music. Some may believe that he is really a womanizer or has many women that he pimps. The persona that most rappers have as far as women. Whether it is true or not, we don't know. You might know, but we don't. Shante: Okay, that persona. One, you having money alone, without being a celebrity -- you could be a street n---- and have some money -- it brings women and problems. You feel me? I understand that. My mom and my dad, my dad had money when my mom was with him. That's what women want. They want to be taken care of and have the finer things in life. They feel they can get this through a guy. It's all on how you handle it. You gotta handle it accordingly. I can't stop nothing. It's on you to do it. BallerStatus.com: Well you seem pretty confident.

BallerStatus.com: (laughs) You do appear to be no-nonsense. Shante: I'm laid back and I'm cool, but I don't play no bullsh--. Not even for a second. BallerStatus.com: Would you want your children to be in entertainment? Shante: Whatever they want to do. I got they back 100 percent. I'ma show them how to stay humble. All the old Hollywood sh--. But even if they don't want to do it, if they want to go to school, whatever they want, I'm there to support them 100 percent. I got my kids' back. BallerStatus.com: Since you're doing reality TV, can we expect you to branch out and do some acting? Shante: Yep. I'm taking acting classes now, but not to get out there. I was doing it for myself. I was stressing and I was trying to do stuff to keep my mind sane, so I took an acting class. It's like therapy. I like it. Not that I want to become an actress. I told my coach there when I went there. I'm just full of emotions and I want to get them out, so I'm here. She was like "Good answer." BallerStatus.com: So if you were offered a guest appearance on a show would you be down? Shante: Yeah I would do it. Everybody keep telling me "Now that our little show out don't go Hollywood." My thing is Hollywood ain't in me baby. BallerStatus.com: Tell me about your clothing line. Shante: Cocoa Reeve is my clothing line. That is for my three babies. It's for women. It's lovable comfortable wear. Right now we have promotional stuff out. By fall, we should have it going out to stores. BallerStatus.com: Is it like Juicy Couture'? Jogging suits? Shante: Yeah. You hit it right on the money. BallerStatus.com: What is it at this point? Shante: Right now, it's just t-shirts. But when we put it out, I want t-shirts and sweats. If that work, then we will make it bigger. BallerStatus.com: I want you to tell me something about your family that through the show people are going to find out. Shante: That my middle son, Cordell, is off the chain. He will say whatever is on his mind. My oldest son is way cool. They call him cool ass Corde. My daughter is a baby boss lady. She is not nasty. I'm not with that. She is on her thing to be eight years old. She been here before. Stay tuned to E! on Sundays nights.

Syl~ Says: Wednesday - January 7, 2009 at 6:30pm Im trying to find the your clothing line, but I havent had much luck. What site can I go to , to order? **BOSS LADY** Says: Saturday - December 27, 2008 at 12:35am Shante'....u are the true boss lady. As you can see that name was giving to me also here where i live in the south. I can relate to everything you mentioned in your interview. I am also a 32 yr old laid back female, single mother of one and i handle my own. Thank you for representing us...young classy, down to earth, real, black women. May God continue to Bless with more women like you in entertaiment. p.s. by the way love the show....beautiful family! Leslie Says: Friday - December 26, 2008 at 3:49pm I would love to have a Boss lady t shirt But im a bigger woman and i need a 2x and i can only find a Large where can i find a bigger size if its available. Please let me know. Thanks Leslie wifeymaterial Says: Wednesday - December 17, 2008 at 1:20pm when are the cloths coming to my city i havent seen any.... Shante i just wanna say that you are a good role model to look up to when some one want to have kids I love the show and watch it all the time yall be doin the FOOL 4 real yall be having me laughing all the time.... VLB Says: Saturday - December 13, 2008 at 3:18pm Mrs."S.B. I would like know how to access your website to your CORI/BOSS LADY clothing line. I would like check it out so I can order somehting for granddaughter/daughter, as a gift. lapree clark Says: Monday - November 17, 2008 at 9:06am where can i get your clothes from. i'm been trying to find something with co co ri on it. DEEK Says: Saturday - November 15, 2008 at 10:38pm LADIES... YOU ARE ALL CHEATED... Queen B Says: Thursday - October 9, 2008 at 9:17pm I'm a boss lady as well and I don't understand how other women that are suppose to be real women have time to hate on a website on Shante and or her family.Just because the show is on television doesn't mean that you really know them at all. Actually being there and experiencing life, trails and tribulations and sharing love are what in my opinion qualify you as knowing someone or knowing about someones life. I also have to say that the comment about Lil Boss Lady's skin color or complexion was very ignorant and disrespectful. Anyone educated knows that it's your genes that count not the actual skin tone. Blacks can turnout in any shade regardless of their parents complexions. Anyhow the reason I logged on was to try and find out when and where will Shante's clothing line "CoCo Ri" be released and up for sale. I just had my first daughter and I would love to dress her in "Co Co Ri". The name was perfect by the way. Shante sista keep your head up and miserable haters sit down and take notes quietly! Tavarsh Brewer Says: Monday - August 18, 2008 at 2:27pm I totally agree with everything shante mentioned. I also think The Snoop Dog Show is exactly what reality tv was missing. The Snoop Show delivers 150% real ppl and me being a black american from Boston's crazy streets reconize real. Overall great show luv it and the kids keep me laughing out loud. Audrey Says: Saturday - August 2, 2008 at 2:44am man shante i feel you just to be 17 but you right you just do you all them people do is just talk so just be you and keep it poppin lynn jones Says: Tuesday - July 1, 2008 at 3:48pm when will your clothes be for sale. mike Says: Friday - June 27, 2008 at 6:44pm like snoop doggy dog say .husle till you fall ..make much money you can until you cant no mre..

run our homes. I can't wait to see your clothing line. Where can I purchase some shirts for me and my daughter? Anyway, just wanted to give you props on holding it down. Nor cal Says: Monday - June 16, 2008 at 5:23pm I think Cori is beautiful, dark beautiful shade and all.My goodness any of you thinking otherwise should be ashamed of yourself. Yes, at first i thought she was hurtin but she grew on me. Shantae..well, it is difficult to understand her, I know David Beckham didnt know what the hell she said. I do agree, throwing out the use of ebonics would be useful and perhaps this is why she isnt always in the public eye. She cant conduct an interview. Jasmine Says: Sunday - June 15, 2008 at 7:35pm I think Shante needs to go back to school to learn how to speak proper English. Ebonics does not cut it.

I have four kids ,ive been to prison two times . its time , its time for a change . I tired of hustling . I came home from prison and hustled up on my on studio . I ve learned how to work everything on my on . I don't think I m ready I know . I need to be apart of somebodys team. can I get a application or something , its comin back ten fold . holla back , love is love , not for granted. mr cooper Admirer from Indiana Says: Tuesday - May 20, 2008 at 1:58am Personally, I admire Shante for being just who she is. Just because her husband has had great success does not mean that she needs to go prove herself to be anyting. It is no damn picnic staying home with kids and being the sole caretaker while Snoops crazy ass does what he does. That does not necessarily mean she is lazy. If more women would be more interested in their kids; sincerely the "black community" would not be in the state that it is in. Regardless of her income, I feel Shante loves her kids and wants to keep her family together, this is a real woman. She doesn't have to prove anything to ya'll broke asses anyway. Inevitably, her kids will be better off than yours anyway whether they are dark or light...mine your damn business and give the kids a break. They all will read this shit. Ok...?Black people? debbie smith Says: Wednesday - April 30, 2008 at 6:57pm shante is a great woman and the way the you raise your kids is great and the way that you keep your sister close and the way that you dont let your husband get away with nothin like lettn the kids do crazy stuff. and keeping he is a great man being that involved with the kids. rannie Says: Saturday - April 26, 2008 at 3:04pm I don't have anything to say about how shante handled her business with snoop,but I wanna know where was snoop's mom? she didn't appear in the last episode.I wonder if shante and her get along? I wonder if Snoop's mom dealing with Julian Broadus(snoop's other son)have anything to do with her not being on the show. lady r Says: Tuesday - April 22, 2008 at 2:02pm it is a shame how yall bitches hatin on boss lady yall on some little kid ass shit yall need to step yall game up and get of the bull shit let her do her thing and yall do yours. yall some lame yall stay on the computer talkin bout people who obviously doin some better than you shit her man anit complainin Carla Brewster Says: Tuesday - April 15, 2008 at 7:04pm "I'm so proud of you. tabitha Says: Monday - April 14, 2008 at 2:43pm iu inspire me!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Angel Says: Thursday - April 10, 2008 at 9:24pm I love your style... in fact my husband look just like yours husband...lol...I love your clothes and i can wait to sale them in my store...and I wish you were come to Texas with ur husband bc i have alot of ideas you would love, for ur clothing line...

You can tell she is not a "Phony". I am glad Snoop brought his family to the fore front. Every man needs a STRONG woman to have his back. She is clearly it! Thank you for sticking by Snoop! and not allowing another Black family to become another statisic! He clearly loves her, you can see it when he looks at her, and they always know where the Good is!!!!! Shantae turned on the scene and represented the majority of young black women. Loving, caring, and FIGHTING for her family. We have always been a Snoop fan but we are now Shantae's biggest fans! MissesGates married 6 yrs MissesCato married 9 yrs clet1974 Says: Thursday - April 3, 2008 at 2:10am shante, your family show is interesting. It's good to watch especialy after seeing snoop in those music videos like pimping and all that. It aint easy being the boss's lady, but i like your confidence and coolness. Follow your dream baby gal. u only have one life. Take care of your swit family. Love your show your corde is soooo cute! princes Says: Wednesday - March 26, 2008 at 10:34am omg your son corde is so freakin cuuuuuuuuuuuuute Baby Girl Says: Sunday - March 23, 2008 at 8:22pm I feel that Boss Lady is handling her business. It's business BOOH! He cheated as most men so why should she give her husband & kids father to the next female & give up her stability for the next female to have a good life. My husband cheated too but you best beleive Baby Girl wont be going anywhere. You play...you pay. And I intend to make him pay dearly & on a daily basis. Every bill will be covered in my household, I am very well educated & have the potential to make it on my own. But instead I choose to stay home daily & let him handle it. I refuse to free up money for him to spend on the next female. As for lil' mama's color.....I ?the boys because they are so light. They don't look like Snoop or Shante. If you look closely both parents are dark & so are all of the other family members that have appeared on the show. She may be a little darker but hey you got 2 chocolate bunnies making a baby. And the big boy. Who is he & where he come from? shezza kezza Says: Sunday - March 16, 2008 at 5:24pm Why are you people so mean cori is beautiful and snoops family is like any other trying to make things work for the kids! come on now it takes a strong woman to forgive and an even stronger one to be a mum and a wife to a celebrity at least she has a personality unlike other celeb wives give them a break!!!!!!!!!!!11 Jezz Says: Sunday - March 16, 2008 at 5:07am Hey all. I want to get a "BOSS LADY ENTERTAINMENT" tshirt... cant find one anywhere! Can anyone help? please email me at; jbedwani@2ue.com.au THANKS CHI-TOWN Says: Tuesday - March 11, 2008 at 1:10pm Well, I think what people really are trying to say about the little one is being so dark is, "is it really snoops kid" marriage is hard, hopefully they hang in there and don't have the reality show curse, where they end up splittin' up...let's face it the show was sooo staged, you never know what to beleive on t.v., good luck to them all, i just wish she would seem more cheerful, she look so sad or somethin.. another boss lady Says: Monday - March 10, 2008 at 7:00pm I also wanted to add that its obvious on the show that snoop is practically kissin shantes ass coz he did her wrong.. he had a child almost the same age as their middle child n another one whose 6 but if shes decided to stay she can cut him some little slack.. they show him tryin to kiss her, "be sweet" as he calls it, tells her I love you shes like, ok later but then again sometimes thats the way 2 treat a man. I think he figured it was cheaper 2 keep her and now their on their 2nd honeymoon same thing that happened to me Can we get some reponses from her or her manager? since u now out there,it could be 2 way interactive. shante also seems over attentive to her daughter maybe 2 cover up the way she looks? she does look intresting maybe she looks like shante in a very dark bigger features a lot of people talk about it.. again all the best to the braodus family another boss lady Says: Monday - March 10, 2008 at 6:44pm I think shante is keepin it real but she def has a little complex and does not seem comfortable in her role as snoops wife she needs to find her won identify apart from being a mom their are a billion moms in this world with children.. I am gald that their are workin it out for the sake of the children but what is she about as her own woman? I like the way she keeps snoop in check.. yes many are askin why is her daughter so dark? and has very big features she dont look like the rest and is 2 mouthy for a 8 year old all the best to the

The bottom line is Shante's HEALTH is at risk! If her husband is not being faithful to her, that is what she needs to worry about if she wants to live another 40 years to raise her beautiful children. S.

You have a very lovingand caring husband and your children are well grounded. I think Snoop is an excellent example of what a family man should be and you compliment him which your easy going and laid back attitude. Don't you listen to any of the negatives cause the majority of the audience loves ya!!! Melisa Boodie Says: Wednesday - February 20, 2008 at 2:43pm I really don't understand why all these people seem to be so upset by Shante? Nobody here knows any of her business only what is told by press and media so those who say she is uneducated or whatever it just makes you seem plain IGNORANT because you have no idea. I am 16 yrs old and enjoys the show, if you don't like it don't watch it and Cori is a beautiful young lady. Whatever problem Snoop and Shante have im glad those kids won't be put through stress because they are trying to work it out. Shante you have my full support. And she was with him when he had no money so all that talk abput her in it for money is sooo stupid. You grown adults look so bad in what your writing. Especially, Jeff Williams:sweetie you don't need to be educated to not curse...Shante you have my support-Much love Melisa:) P.S JEN JEN you seem really bothered by Shantes' achievements..thats really sad diabla61 Says: Wednesday - February 20, 2008 at 11:00am Ms.Broadus need to step the game up on that clothing line the stuff i saw is mad ugly i wouldn't wear it nobody i know will unless it's sleepwear Stacey H. Says: Tuesday - February 19, 2008 at 2:01pm I just wanted to say that my family and I enjoy watching Snoop's show every Sunday together. I am a married women with two children and we really feel like we know you Y'all. Shante, you are my girl, I just love your personality and who you are as a person. Please let me know when your clothing line goes online. You definitely have a client here. Thank you. Stacey H. JEN JEN Says: Tuesday - February 19, 2008 at 1:37pm OH, AND MZ. INGA, MY CADILLAC DTS RUNS FINE, HOW IS IT ON THE BUS BEOTCH? JEN JEN Says: Tuesday - February 19, 2008 at 1:32pm MZ. INGA, THERE AIN'T NO HATIN' OVER HERE ASS----! I WOULD NOT WANT THAT BULLSH-- LIFE FOR NOTHING, I CALL THEM AS I SEE EM' OK? THIS BROAD IS AND I'M SURE HAS BEEN A LAZY ASS CHICK, YOU PROBALY AIN'T GOT A JOB AS WELL, WHAT'S UP? YOU LOOKING FOR A MEAL TICKET TOO? GET WITH SHANTE, HA! HA! Mz. Inga Says: Monday - February 18, 2008 at 11:31pm Boss lady keep doing your thang baby! All I can say in response to the last HATERS comment, stating that your MARRIAGE is a meal ticket is first of all know the history before you judge....Boss lady has been with Snoop before he even had paper so stop hating cus you know that your broke azz wish you could have half of what shes got. Shante's children and making a better life for them should be a priority. JEN JEN Says: Monday - February 18, 2008 at 4:13pm YES, SHE IS A SPOILED WOMAN WITH 3 MEAL TICKETS, SHE DON'T LOVE THAT TALL ASS MAN, WITH ALLLLLL THE MONNNNAY, SHE LOVE THE CASH, ALL SHE SAYS IS YOU HAVE 3 KIDS, GUESS WHAT HONEY SO DOES HAVE THE WORLD, THE REALITY SHOW IS SHOWING EVERYBODY WHAT A "NO" PERSONALITY YOU HAVE, SNOOP HAS IT, HE ONE THE ROAD FOR MONTHS? AND HE AIN'T CHEATING? SHE KNOWS IT, BUT AS LONG THE CREDIT CARDS STILL KEEP GETTING ACCEPTED, POOR CHICK, SHE NEEDS TO GET A JOB. familyh Says: Monday - February 18, 2008 at 11:57am You are so right, IT's all about the family! Keep doing your thing! Mo Says: Monday - February 18, 2008 at 9:51am Hello Shante, I am probably older than most who have visited this site...51 years of age. I don't know the "truth" of your situation, nor does any of the others who view your site. I encourage you to do what works best for you and your family. No one else lives in your shoes. Whatever, you decide just remember that our children not only HEAR what we say, they also SEE what we do. I have often wanted to follow my creative dreams and allowed 'life' to get in the way. Follow your dreams. 'What's to a try but a failure'! Good Luck! ALD Says: Sunday - February 10, 2008 at 4:07pm SHE SO SO SEXY. Shamecka Says: Monday - February 4, 2008 at 3:40pm I thought up an idea about a jean you can change the pockets do you think I have a good idea? reeCe Says: Friday - February 1, 2008 at 2:26pm boss lady can't boss the dogg... hope da bitch aint cheatin

tu tu Says: Wednesday - January 30, 2008 at 11:00pm Shante is on and poppin' I love watching the show they keep it real. They cuss and all I love it because people act as though you have to act this way to fit in but you don't and they don't give a care. I like when they come together at the end and it's all positive so it is fa shizzle my nizzle. cj323 Says: Thursday - January 24, 2008 at 2:39pm Who gives a F$u% about what these mu%ha%ucki^ haters have to say, 'cause at the end of the day she holds up to her name, "BOSS LADY". She's going to boss 'til she drops 'cause she's "DA BOSS LADY". I look up to her because after all the drama she still keeps her head up...more POWER to ya!! Keep on doing your thing & forgive and don't forget! LaKicia Barnes Says: Monday - January 21, 2008 at 8:10pm I love your part on the show I was worrying if you plain on coming out with some clothes or shoes? keep on doing what your doing. Larodizzy Says: Monday - January 21, 2008 at 5:50pm Mrs. Boss Lady dont listen to most of the haters. You are the truth and if it wasnt for you snoop might still be successful but not as successful as he is w/o your support. and if people watch the show they would see that even he realizes that. i just want to say that you truly are the boss lady. i like you because you keep it real and i can tell that you are still the same shante that you were before all the money and fame. you make people like me realists want to watch the new show. i love you and much love and success with co co ri and boss lady entertainment. donna/ alias boss lady Says: Monday - January 21, 2008 at 1:47pm hey im interested in buying/selling the boss lady entertainment tshirts you guys wear on the show. i have a clothing store in san antonio texas and have been in the business forever and all of my frends and employees have always called me boss lady. my son is a promoter for epic/sony and i cant wait to tell him. thanks again and let me know if you are selling the boss lady entertainment tshirts. boss baby Says: Sunday - January 20, 2008 at 11:47pm she just need to leave snoop alone and let him do wat he do BLACK BARBIE Says: Wednesday - January 16, 2008 at 5:23pm A man gonna be and do what they want to do married or not I feel what shant'e is saying you cann't change them you just have to do whats best for you if u decide to be with that person. Andrea Says: Wednesday - January 16, 2008 at 12:24am What I hear is that you can't really control what a man is going to do, and I 'm not going to sit here and worry about what his ass is doing as long as he's taking care of me and the kids. Love the show. It's awesome. I wasn't a Snoop fan until I saw it. I Love Uncle Junebug! tokyo Says: Wednesday - January 16, 2008 at 10:17am I've watched the show and she is a spoiled woman who is really insecure about snoop still so she runs through his money like water to get back at him for cheating(another Kobe) and he knows it and he let's her doit. She's not in charge of shit snoop let's her think that to shut her up he still creeps. Even in that article she sounds like a rich bitch snoop did not have to go back to her ass. scotty Says: Tuesday - January 15, 2008 at 3:30pm looking to find snoop clothing line. Deja Says: Monday - January 7, 2008 at 9:59pm I really like Snoops whole family. I can't wait for Shante's clothing line to come out. I'm definetly going to support. We gotta show our black businesses some love. eke Says: Sunday - January 6, 2008 at 7:01pm i think shes not happy,shes happy to be a mother and thats it.bossing everybody.what about saying good things about her marriage.what makes their love interesting,what fun things they do,besides the kids and troubles they have had.it looks like money is keeping her!or and the kids!3 Drcisjam Says: Sunday - January 6, 2008 at 10:43am She is appears so...harsh, bitter, negative, permanently pissed off. She clings to her role as super mom because she has no personality of her own and does not seem to identify with anything except struggle and misery. I pity her, because with all that money the only thing that makes her smile are her children. She seems so out of place. Here's to her in 2008, I wish her a year of knowledge, peace and tremendous joy, and love.

LorLor Says: Thursday - January 3, 2008 at 12:52am Shante is my hero! She's proof that great men need great women behind them. Kudos to her, she's a fantastic mother, and an inspiration to all of us mom's. Good girls don't always get passed by, and a lady is always to be appreciated. Peace all. jeff williams Says: Wednesday - January 2, 2008 at 4:25pm Good to see with all that money she still hasn't learned to speak proper english.UNEDUCATED,OVERPAID HOODRAT !! Nikki Says: Tuesday - January 1, 2008 at 1:24pm Like Puffy said Shante is cooler than a fan. Keep doing you and 4 get them haters. Like Mary J says in her song they gone hate on you 'cause they not happy with themselves. Shante truly lives up to her name "Boss Lady", and Snoop don't run nothing but his mouth! Tiffany Reese Says: Monday - December 31, 2007 at 8:20pm No what she(Shante ) should say is that she been cheating with a guy from gundy block in paramount ca for years... research it .. flava flav Says: Sunday - December 30, 2007 at 8:44am When is she gonna tell the world that her daughter is mine and not Snoops? Sunshynne Says: Friday - December 28, 2007 at 10:50am I'm in agreement w/STRONGWOMAN.....RESPECT!!...Respect the Woman, Respect the union, Respect the FAMILY. Is he doing that??? We see she is though.... AGAIN......WHAT R U WORTH??? paige Says: Thursday - December 27, 2007 at 9:02pm Shante is the BEST! I love her attitude and the way she handles herself. It's great to see her standing BESIDE her man and not BEHIND him, dig? rozarebe Says: Thursday - December 27, 2007 at 6:29pm i felt like shante is part of my family. THE RICH PART Mike D Says: Wednesday - December 26, 2007 at 1:38pm Man, Shante has got it going on!I love her attitude, she always keeps it 100. Snoop has a real woman holding him down. Church...on the move! I'm out StrongWoman Says: Monday - December 24, 2007 at 2:26pm What? Shante said "...money brings women and problems(to men in relationships). Her mom and dad-dad had money when her mom was with him. That's what women want. They want to be taken care of and have the finer things in life. They feel they can get this through a guy. It's all on how you handle it. U handle it accordingly..." IF WOMEN WANT $$ GET YO OWN! Her mom is from a different time(it was harder 4 women 2 get $ 25 years ago-2day we generally have more than the men we date!) Young women(girls), please dont listen 2 anybody tell U that. What they fail 2 tell U is the pain/disrespect U R forced 2 deal with from this man 4 a dollar. What R U worth? U can have as much $ as any man. 2day probably more. ABE ADAMS Says: Monday - December 24, 2007 at 12:09am i enjoyed watching snoop's son cordell ask beckahm how much he makes a year and DB says " how much will impress you? " and the lil kid says a billion..he is really off the chain...way 2 smart for a lil kid truediva14 Says: Monday - December 24, 2007 at 8:38am She is so on... I love her laid back but still feel me attitude!
