Snoop ditches pimp image to win wife back

Hip-hop star Snoop Dogg has dumped his "pimping" ways in a bid to win his wife Shante back.

The rapper filed for divorce from his childhood sweetheart in May, citing irreconcilable differences, but now claims he made a big mistake.

He's ditching all his sex projects, including the top-selling Snoop Dogg: Doggystyle series of porn tapes, because his wife always disapproved.

He says: "My wife don't like it. She knows I'm not participating, but you're still being close to it. That's why I'm not gonna f**k with it anymore."

The decision is the beginning of Snoop's attempt to save his marriage.

He adds: "I know I said I wanted a divorce, but that ain't what I really wanted.

"That's the devil working. My thing was, I was so demanding and not willing to listen.

"That's why it was all bad, because of the simple fact that I'm Snoop Dogg and in a powerful position and sometimes that s**t gets to my head.

"I just got to come back to being, you know, Calvin (Broadus), and realising what matters most to me: my wife and my kids. That's what I'm trying to do right now. Put that back together again."
