Another Hip-Hop Child May Be Headed to UCLA, Snoop’s Son Offered Football Scholarship

Well it’s clear to see where UCLA’s antennas are directed. The university appears to be tired of going after old money, they want to tap into that hip-hop cash cow because after awarding Diddy’s son Justin an unnecessarily controversial full football scholarship, word is they’ve also offered Snoop’s son one.

According to USA Today:

Cordell Broadus, son of rapper Snoop Dogg, received a scholarship offer from UCLA. Broadus will be entering his sophomore year at Diamond Bar High School this fall.

Listed at 6-2 and 185 pounds, he played wide receiver and defensive back for the freshman team last season.

Cordell transferred to Diamond Bar from Long Beach Poly last fall and like UCLA, his coach Ryan Maine told ESPN he likes what he sees so far.

“We’re expecting him to really lead us the next three years. Hopefully get bigger, stronger and keep leading this team.”

Cordell no doubt gets pointers from big snoopy d-o-double-gizzle who coaches how own youth football league. When ESPN asked him how he feels about the paths his older sons are taking—his oldest, Corde, just graduated from Diamond Bar and is headed into the music biz—Snoop said this:

“Both my boys had normal existences. No real drama in the house. No real drama outside. They are all good.”

UCLA is trying to be all good with their hip-hop support too, Cordell still has a few years to make a decision though.

    Did Romeo get a scholarship? There was some controversy about him even entering UCLA. Now he is on TV peddling this, ICDC college (what is that?) *shrugs*

    You know if he earns a football scholarship in the next three years (He’s a sophomore) then he earns a scholarship. Would you feel better if rapper’s kids were like Ozzy Osbourne’s children, looking upset and sloppy and reliant on daddy’s name? These are sharp, driven kids, trying to achieve things on their own. Celebrate them doing it.

    They laugh at “commoners”

    • L-Boogie

      But let the commoners get ahead and laugh at the “elite’s” stupidity.

    Schools other early scholarships all the time, not just to “hip hop” kids…

    I was going to say, “don’t discredit the kids’ talent because their parents are famous” then I read that the boy is a freshman and will only be entering sophmore in a couple of months so yeah definitely any offer of scholarship is way to premature and this is clearly a hip-hop thang UCLA has going on. SMH.

      Probably not, Snoop coaches a little league team so I’m pretty sure his boys have been playing a while and now really love the sport. I wish the best for them.
