In this city, an outpost of Pomona, Calif., whose population is 52.5 percent Asian and just 4 percent African-American, the 6-foot-4 rapper and his posse, complete with a thuggishly burly (but sweet) security guard radioing from the running track, totally sticks out, catching the lens of a pesky photographer from the school paper, The Bull’s Eye, the instant Snoop saunters up the bleachers. They are all here, complete with their cushioned, fold-out minichairs, to watch another child (three in all) of Shante and the man born Calvin Broadus - 6-foot-2, 185-pound son Cordell, 15, aka “Rook” - play defensive back for Diamond Bar High School on homecoming weekend. Among them: high school sweetheart Shante, his wife of 15 years her sister Sharelle 13-year-old daughter Cori (who goes by “Choc” for “chocolate”) son Corde (who goes by “Spank”), 18 Uncle Reggie and his day-to-day manager Kevin Barkey. On this blazing hot friday afternoon, Snoop Dogg is surrounded by family. 5 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
