The "Boss Lady Approved" message sparked rumors Snoop, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., had not been faithful — again.
Here's a look back at the love birds' relationship throughout the years.
Snoop and Shante met at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California.
Shante revealed she was a fan of Snoop long before his fame.
"I was there with him when he started all this," she told 'W' Magazine in 2021. "Even before he came out [as a musician], our friends and I were his fans. We would always listen to his songs and give our opinions."

After Shante posted the cryptic message alluding to one's spouse cheating, Snoop seemingly responded on Instagram.
On Thursday, the rapper took to his Instagram Stories to repost a video of Candi Staton performing her 1976 song "Young Hearts Run Free."
"A song about staying with your husband, no matter how many other women he has," the text written above the video read.
In the track, Staton sings, "What's the sense in sharing / This one and only life / Endin' up just another lost and lonely wife."
"You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man / While he is busy loving every woman that he can / Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day / It's easier said than done / When you just can't break away."
