DADDY DUTY: Snoop Defends Smoking Weed With His Son + Shaq Takes The Kids Shopping

Sep 27 | by Natasha

Shaquille O'Neal was on daddy duty yesterday as he took his kids to The Grove in L.A. We've got pics of celeb dads spending time with their kiddies--even doing some controversial ish--inside....

Shaq's kiddies (who he shares with ex-wife "Basketball Wives" star Shaunie O'Neal) got a shopping spree form daddy yesterday. Shaq and the kiddies hit up The Grove, and the whole crew was in tow--Myles, 14, Shareef, 12, and Shaqir, 9, and daughters Amirah, 10, and Me'arah, 6.

Now that he and girlfriend Hoopz have broken up, and the NBA season is on a break right now, he's got a lot more time to spend with his brood of kids. By the way, he copped the Father of the Year award by the National Father's Day Council last June.

These kids love the cameras.

Diddy is in L.A. making his publicity rounds. So the mogul took some time to shower mani-pedis on his twin daughters, D'Lila & Jessie. Cute! He posted the above pics saying:

Ain't nothing like a father taking his girls for a little mani-pedi time!

And as for fathers stirring up controversy with their kids:

After these pics surfaced online of Snoop and his 18-year-old son Corde sharing bongs and blunts, folks were outraged. But Snoop has defended his decision to smoke out with his son.

He tells The Hollywood Reporter in his new cover story:

“What better way to [learn] than from the master? My kids can do whatever the hell they want. For me to say otherwise would be hypocritical. A lot of motherf–ers don’t have a relationship with their kids, and that’s when they get on drugs and have suicidal thoughts and drive drunk. Me and my son is mellow. I’m his father, so I wanna show him the proper way because he looks up to me.”

Alrighty then....

Snoop does hold a medical marijuana license in Cali. But no word on if his son does as well.

The Randomness:

1. The Houston Family will kick off their "The Houstons: On Our Own” reality series on Oct. 24 on Lifetime. Season one will be 14 half hour episodes. STORY

Its also better to smoke with

Its also better to smoke with a vaporizer rather than zig zags or cigars, because that paper can mess with your lungs, the vaporizer is just like a breathing treatment....

To a strong minded person

To a strong minded person weed doesn't have to act as a gateway drug, plenty of people in my family are avid marijuana smokers and they are successful in their lives and careers. It's all about the individual and how strong minded they are. Its the alcohol and hard drugs that will f a life up. I would rather a person smoke weed than drink excessive amounts of alcohol or use hard drugs like crack cocaine, amphetamine, heroin, strong prescriptions, etc... Also it all depends on how much you smoke, as long as you don't abuse the marijuana, i don't see anything wrong with it. One or two bowls of a vaporizer ain't never hurt anyone...

Ya'll are really brainwashed

Ya'll are really brainwashed by the Reagan-era marijuana fear mongering propaganda, huh? There's nothing wrong with weed! I smoked plenty of weed in college and STILL graduated and earned a degree. I smoked weed and I'm not some strung out junkie. If anything, weed helped me chill out when I was freaking out studying for my finals. I'd light up a blunt, turn on A Tribe Called Quest and study French, and guess what? I PASSED THE FINAL AND THE CLASS! Go watch some documentaries on NetFlix and learn the REAL reason why this country is so hell bent on brainwashing people into demonizing marijuana.

Snoop is one clown ass negro.

Snoop is one clown ass negro. But brotha if you going to smoke weed with your son, let him know the consequences behind it, let him know how the shit is a gateway to other drugs and also mess with your 3rd eye and your vision in life, anythings thats used to mask pain isn't good. But man Black America is done.......you can pretty much put a fork in them. The future generation aren't looking to good for us. The previous generations were so creative in thinking!!! We had the Booker T Washington's , the W.E.B Debois , Marcus Garvey, Nobel Drew Ali, Malcolm x , Martin Luther, i mean it was sooo many creative minds. BLACKWALLSTREET ... We had the fucking blueprint RIGHT THEREEEE BUT Instead of going forward weee going backwards to a point of no return. And it's a sad thing, when you know the potential of your people, sad thing the see. But hey it's nothing you can do about it, we love dysfunction.... :(

the previous generations were

the previous generations were just as f-up I can name plenty of other blacks that were in stark contrast and in larger numbers than your list. The previous generations are the ones that started that n word were the crack generation, gang generation, sambo shuckin and jiving sitiation but that doesn't have much (yes a bearing but not much) to do with our success. Latino's, whites ect. has gangs or were in gangs, has incest running rampant in thier families, people on drugs including medical drugs & so forth however since they are not a part of a race that hates itself nor suffer from the systemization of painting them criminals and ghetto and disrepting their culture they will always be able to get ahead.

Negros can't do anything,

Negros can't do anything, without bringing up the white man and other races. MY GOD MAN!!!!!!! Fuck themmmmmmmm!!! I want to focus on black people because those people you named are the ones that had the blueprint of having us IN THIS TYPE OF CONDITION so they aint as fucked up as we are because in the end with them IT'S VIVA LA RAZA AND WHITE SUPREMACY at the end of the day. So i don't want to hear about them. Now the previous generation HAD EVERYTHING WE NEED!!Although i agree that they are the ones that also contributed with having us in this situation because they didn't care to look at ECONOMICS they just wanted to sit in a dinner and look at the white man eat and work with them. WE SHOULD'VE FOCUSED ON ECONOMICS.

You tryin' to be Malcolm X

You tryin' to be Malcolm X Jr. ?? But really, those kids will never have to work. The wealthiest families are the most dysfunctional b/c they never have to change......look at the Kennedy's....thats the most screwed up family on earth (yes, even more than the Jackson's).

Man those kids are going to

Man those kids are going to have to work just like most black families, BECAUSE MOST BLACK PEOPLE THAT ARE FAMOUS are just rich, THEY AREN'T WEALTHY!!!! And that money goes by like clockwork, because niggas spend it on the craziest shit, instead of investing and creating businesses. Rich black people Give their money to THE WEALTHY and those wealthy pass that money on down to the family and the cycle continues.

Snoop, Dr. Dre, Eminem (don't

Snoop, Dr. Dre, Eminem (don't tell him he's not black) all have a NET worth of over $100Million each. So, their kids will be fine (Although Mike Tyson & Evander Holyfield blew thru about $500 Million total!!!!!!!!!!!!!)...............multiple Divorice & Children with different women is how a man goes broke. .......................

Snoop is an ULTRA IDIOT.

Snoop is an ULTRA IDIOT. Shaq, I like Shaq, but he always looks like he needs to brush his teeth and take a bath. I'm mad that those are some BIG ASS kids, especially the girls, and half of them look like Shaunie and the other half look like Shaq...ugh.

Yea Snoop is somewhat right,

Yea Snoop is somewhat right, at least he is in his son's life. It's just funny to me how people try to justify bulls***! Teaching your child how to inhale illegal substances the RIGHT WAY?! Oh. Lol that's like Amber Rose saying, "I'm gonna teach my daughter how to be a ho the right way."
