Los Angeles - Outspoken US rapper Snoop Dogg is seeking a divorce from his wife of seven years, court papers showed on Monday.
The 31-year-old Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, has been married to Shante Broadus, his former high school sweetheart, since 1997. The rapper cited irreconcilable differences for the split.
The two are seeking joint custody of their three children, Conde, nine, Cordell, seven, and Cori, who is four and a half, according to papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In addition to his music career, Snoop has branched into movies, appearing in Starsky and Hutch and the upcoming musical feature Soul Plane.
