Snoop Dogg says kids motivated him to salvage relationship with wife

Three years ago, Snoop Dogg says he almost made the biggest mistake of his life.  Tempted by "all the girls and the nightlife" of Hollywood, Snoop filed for divorce from his wife Shante.  The 36-year-old rapper reconsidered, however, after realizing how much he'd be giving up and for so little in return.

I thought I was the man, and I was willing to give up what I had at home for that, until I realized that what I had at home was irreplaceable. So I gave that up to go back home. 

I just don't want another man raising my kids.  That was the main goal. I had kids with my wife because I wanted to be with my wife. And those three babies are all wanted, and I wanted to be with them.

Snoop and Shante have three children together -- Corde, 13, Cordell, 10 and Cori, 8.  The family is featured in the new reality television show Father Hood, and Snoop says that the decision to allow cameras into their home was an easy one.

Sometimes you lose focus because this Hollywood entertainment world can throw you off track.  That's why you see me doing things like this television show and my own football league, and the positive things I do, because I'm back aware again.
