Published

on

• Corde Broadus is an actor, model and the son of rapper Snoop Dogg.
• He has a net worth estimated to be over $500,000.
• He originally wanted to pursue a career in American Football but found success in modeling.
• Snoop Dogg rose to fame after being discovered by Dr. Dre and has a net worth of over $135 million.
• Corde has a son with his ex-wife Jessica Kyzer and lost their second son shortly after birth.

Who is Corde Broadus?

Corde Broadus was born on 21 August 1994, in Long Beach, California, USA, and is an actor as well as a model, but also known for being the son of rapper Snoop Dogg. His father rose to fame in the 1990s after being discovered by Dr. Dre, and has sold millions of albums worldwide, being considered one of the most iconic rappers in history.

The Net Worth of Corde Broadus

As of early-2020, Corde Broadus’ net worth is estimated to be over $500,000, earned through success in his various endeavors, as he’s done sporadic work in the entertainment industry.

He probably benefits from the success of his father too, as Snoop has a net worth estimated to be over $135 million, thanks to a long successful career in the music industry.

Life and Career

Corde grew up with a lot of knowledge of the music industry thanks to his father’s fame and success. His father never forced him to pursue a similar career, and while he loved music, he didn’t have the same talent as his father. Instead, growing-up he admired the achievements of his older brother who pursued a career in sports, finding a bit of success in American Football.

He wanted to become an American Football player as well and began playing locally, but he didn’t have the same drive and physique as his brother.

Later on, his father noticed that he possessed a look that could work in modeling, and with his father’s connections, he made his first appearance in the music video “Drop It Like It’s Hot” by Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams. However, he decided to complete his studies first, and enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles where he completed a bachelor’s degree.

Father – Snoop Dogg

Calvin Broadus Jr. was born on 20 October 1971, in Long Beach, California USA, where he grew-up, the son of a singer and Vietnam War veteran. However, his father left the family when he was three months old and he was raised by a stepfather whom he was named after.

At a young age, he gained the nickname Snoopy due to his likeness to the popular character, and the name stuck. He first developed a love for singing and playing the piano, before discovering rap. He loved going to church, and played American Football, also working during his free time to help his family.

He rapped frequently in school, and his skills were enough to attract large crowds which led him to believe that rap was his calling. However, during his teenage years, he frequently ran into trouble, becoming involved in a gang, and so was in and out of prison due to his involvement in cocaine dealings in his area. Wanting to shy away from that life, he began recording music at home with the help of his cousins.

One of his mixtapes would end up in the hands of Dr. Dre, who was impressed by his skills and invited him to audition.

Rise to Fame – Snoop Dogg

After joining Dr. Dre, Calvin took on the name Snoop Doggy Dog, and worked on his first project, a featured song in the album “The Chronic”. Following this success, he created his debut album “Doggystyle” which elevated him to stardom thanks to its success, and is responsible for popularizing the G-funk hip-hop typical of rappers of the West Coast during his time. Following an acquittal on a murder charge, he lived a more straightforward life, focusing on his music.

His second album “The Doggfather” was released amidst issues featuring a number of his friends who retained a gangster lifestyle.

His second album featured a change in style and tone – it didn’t fare well compared to its predecessor, but it was enough to keep his career going. In the late 1990s he signed with No Limit Records and began releasing albums with them, selling millions of each of his releases. In 2004, he then signed with Geffen Records, leading to the release of “R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece” which contained his first top single “Drop It Like It’s Hot”.

Becoming a Rap Legend – Snoop Dogg

Over the next few years, Snoop Dogg continued a fruitful relationship with Geffen Records, leading to the creation of several successful albums including “Ego Trippin’ Malice ‘n Wonderland” and “Doggumentary”. His fame on the music scene also led to acting work, and he appeared mostly in cameo roles. He also helped the creation of several television shows, including “Dogg After Dark” and “Doggy Fizzle Televizzle”. In 2009, he became the creative chairman of re-established Priority Records, which continued to build his wealth.

In 2012 he turned in a different direction in his career, as he converted to Rastafarianism after being enlightened during a trip to Jamaica. He took on the name Snoop Lion, and began releasing reggae albums. However, this phase only lasted for a year, and he returned to his Snoop Dogg name in 2015 with the release of a new album. In 2018, he announced that he had become a born again Christian, and released his first gospel album. He was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame thanks to his work with the company, appearing in various segments and storylines. While Snoop has enjoyed a successful career, he has yet to win a Grammy Award, but with 17 nominations under his belt.

Personal Life

Corde was in a relationship with Jessica Kyzer for many years. She is a freelance makeup artist who also works as a model. They have a child together, and married shortly after the birth of their first. In 2018, their second child was born but he had complications in his body and passed away after 10 days of life. Snoop Dogg expressed his grief, and then the joy he felt of experiencing another child in 2019, posting on several social media accounts. Many of his friends sympathized with his situation.

Where is Lacey Wildd today? The woman had QQQ Cup Surgery

Published

on

Who is Lacey Wildd?

Lacey Wildd was born on 23 April 1968, in Montgomery, West Virginia, USA, and is a reality television and movie occasional actress, and former model, best known for her numerous breast augmentations and implants that have led to her breasts reaching a very large size. She’s been featured on numerous television programs, including “True Life”.

The Riches of Lacey Wildd

As of mid-2020, Lacey Wildd’s net worth is estimated to be over $100,000, earned through success in her various endeavors. Her work on television has brought in some significant paydays, though she has also spent a hefty amount to increase and maintain her bust size.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9TeJ2LJSvR/

She’s also had other work done on various parts of her body.

Early Life and Plastic Surgery Beginnings

Lacey grew up in West Virginia and lived most of her early life without much attention, though she often got into trouble or had accidents – she experienced falling down a well, and has had other near-death experiences though never specified. One specific experience she had was a feeling that she shouldn’t enter a car which proved to be a good decision as the car was involved in a crash later that day.

At the age of 16, she became involved in a relationship and became pregnant, leading her to marry at a young age.

She had two children, but was divorced five years later. When she became single, she realized that she needed to make ends meet to help provide for the children, and she worked as a waitress. She also changed her hair color and began contemplating breast augmentation surgery, something that she had always thought about. While the exact reasons for her breast surgery are not known, she decided that her A cup was not big enough for her.

Breast Augmentations and Other Augmentations

So Lacey used some of her earnings to undergo breast augmentation, increasing her size from A cup to a B cup.

Some people undergo augmentation surgery, then realize that they can do more enhancement, and begin considering a Barbie look. She wanted to become an adult Barbie, but an extreme version, so she then had her buttocks enlarged, her nose made slimmer, and her eyes widened, among many other things.

However, the main thing that she worked on was her breasts, as she continued increasing her size, over a third of her 36 plastic surgery operations. To date, she has spent over a million dollars in breast augmentation and is now credited as having an LLL Cup, a size that is almost impossible to achieve biologically. Her breast size has brought her a lot of attention, and considerable ire from those who don’t believe in plastic surgery.

Still, she quickly became a celebrity based on her breast size and other augmentations which have been the subject of numerous reality programs. In 2014, she announced that she was aiming to go for a QQQ cup size, and once again attracted controversy for the decision.

Television Appearances

Due to her breast size, Lacey’s gained opportunities to appear in minor roles in films, with the first being in the independent feature “Dr. Ice”. Later on, she would appear in “Blonde Squad” and “Beauty and the Beholder”, mostly working on various B films, so not gaining any mainstream attention for her acting.

In 2011, her popularity surged when she was featured in an episode of “True Life” – the documentary series follows a particular topic, often related to addiction or issues about sex, money, or drugs, and has gained numerous awards over the years.

Since then, she’s been invited on to numerous shows, including “20/20”, “ABC News”, and “Dr. Drew”, which tackled her augmentation story, and debated her addiction to plastic surgery. In 2014, she was featured in “My Strange Addiction”, another documentary series that features people with what’s regarded by some as bizarre behavior, related to their beliefs or personal interests, often leading to ritualistic or compulsive behavior.

One of her latest appearances was in the same year, in an episode of “Botched”, the reality show which tackles various plastic surgery procedures that have gone wrong.

Recent Endeavors

Wildd continued with her QQQ cup surgery, though there wasn’t a lot of attention on it following her announcement, except for some controversy based on the risk that was involved with the surgery. No doctor from the US wanted to support her action, so she had to go to Brazil for medical consultations. Due to her large breast size and weight, she has had pig skin sewed into her abdomen to support them. She also had internal bra surgery to have something that is supporting the heavyweight of her augmentations.

She has to sleep at a 30-degree angle or risk getting suffocated by her breasts which have been weighed at around 21 kilograms together. She mentions that it feels like she has guitar strings in her body that support her breasts. Despite the obvious risks and dangers, she doesn’t seem to be bothered by it at all. In 2016, she started a psychic business, offering consultations in her home with the name Ghostbusty. She credits her psychic abilities to her unusual or near-death experiences as a child, but believes that her breast journey has led her to her current line of work.

Personal Life

Lacey has six children from different relationships, but is still single. She has not remarried following her first marriage and divorce, as proven by the fact that her ex-boyfriend was one of the people who encouraged her with her current psychic business. Her children have been interviewed on television, and they admit that their life has been surrounded with the attention on their mother’s boobs. Her children don’t believe in her plastic surgery enhancements for the most part, and seeing her photos of the past, they believe she was much prettier back then.
