He opened up about his growing family earlier this year and how his grandchildren bring him so much joy.
"I have a total of 12 grandkids," he revealed during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. "And they're different ages, ranges, sizes and I love them all the same way."
The rapper also revealed the sweet nickname his grandchildren call him, and it was his grandson Zion, nine, who came up with the moniker.
"Well, he was the first one to name me. He used to call me Papa Noop, because he couldn't say Snoop, so he started calling me Papa Noop. And then as time went by, he learned how to say Snoop, so now I'm Papa Snoop," Snoop told Jennifer.
