Cori Broadus, the beloved daughter of rap legend Snoop Dogg, dreams of a wedding that encapsulates the essence of a "princess" – yet, every step of the journey seems to deviate from her meticulously crafted plans. In the highly anticipated E! docuseries, "Snoop's Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne's Story," the 25-year-old bride-to-be and her fiancé, Wayne Duece, invite fans into their world as they grapple with the intricacies of orchestrating their fairy-tale wedding. Engaged in November 2022, the couple encounters a whirlwind of emotions and obstacles, even contemplating whether they'll make it down the aisle.
A teaser for this three-part series captures Cori and Wayne reflecting on their engagement and the adventures that lie ahead. "I love Wayne so deeply," Cori expresses, her heart overflowing with affection, while Wayne asserts, "Now that Cori and I are engaged, it's time to kickstart this wedding extravaganza."
Cori envisions a tight timeline; when her wedding planner inquiries about a date, she boldly declares, "Four months." Her guest list ambitions are equally grand: an impressive count of 750 attendees. "This wedding is going to be absolutely nuts," a loved one remarks, their voice tinged with astonishment.
The conversations surrounding Wayne's grand entrance at the wedding are equally fascinating. "I'm a princess, so the prince needs to make a grand entrance," Cori states, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Wayne proposes, "How about I arrive in a helicopter?"
When it comes to entertaining her guests, Cori harbors even bigger aspirations. "My dream would be to have Justin Bieber perform," she reveals, prompting her 53-year-old rapper father to playfully tease, "You've got too many grand dreams, kiddo."
Another scene unveils Cori's reaction to detractors questioning her relationship with Wayne. "Of course, the haters will eventually surface," she acknowledges. "'He's only with her because of her dad,' they say."
In another poignant moment, Cori tries on wedding dresses, struggling to find joy in the process. "I hate my body," she laments, standing in a stunning white strapless gown with a high slit. "This dress doesn't make me feel sexy."
The teaser also hints at the wedding planning strain affecting the couple. At one point, Cori accuses her fiancé, "You're acting like a full-fledged bridezilla." Later, she confides, "Wayne and I are in deep waters," as footage shows them attending pre-marital counseling. Wayne makes a comment that hints at the possibility of the wedding being called off.
From the sidelines, Snoop Dogg, the father-of-the-bride, watches the unfolding drama with a blunt assessment: "This is going to be a complete nightmare."
The teaser concludes on a harrowing note as Cori is rushed to the ER, where doctors inform her she's suffered a stroke. (Cori was diagnosed with lupus at age 6, a chronic autoimmune disease that can elevate stroke risks.) "My health is declining. I'm in pain, I'm terrified," she expresses, her voice filled with despair. "Why is this happening to me?"
Last year, Cori opened up to Teen Vogue about her relationship with Wayne, admitting she hadn't envisioned planning a wedding in her early 20s. "We had talked about marriage, but we already felt married," she shared. "There was no rush. We're so young. We have a lifetime ahead of us." However, after Wayne popped the question, she eagerly anticipated the "forever" aspect of married life. "I'm so grateful we're together," she added. "I'm so glad I've found my peace."
"Snoop's Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne's Story" is produced by Death Row Pictures and 101 Studios, with Snoop Dogg, Shante Broadus, Sara Ramaker, David Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, and Alexander Lipsitz serving as Executive Producers. Eliot Goldberg oversaw the series for 101 Studios.
The series premieres on December 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on E!, with episodes available for streaming on Peacock.
