 Now this might be a first in the reality realm. Julian Corrie Broadus, the 9-year-old lovechild of Snoop Dogg, says he wants a role on the rapper’s TV show “Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood, ” reports wenn.com.
“I don’t want to be an actor, I want to be a baseball player. But I want to be on the show to get to know my family,” Julian told American magazine.
The kid, a product of a pre-marital fling, also says he ain’t seen daddy in five years. Hmm…I wonder if Julian really wants to be on the show, or if his mother is just a little pissed off. Either way, I say keep it real and put the kid on! Shoot, throw the boy’s mama on, too. Maybe then, I’d watch. What do y’all think? Should Julian get his wish?
