Snoop Dogg and his son, Cordell Broadus, are making significant strides in the business world, with their latest venture, Dr. Bombay Ice Cream, gaining impressive momentum. Launched in July 2023, the ice cream brand has quickly become a standout success, known for its unique and creative flavors like Strawberry Cream Dream, Baked Blueberry Muffin, Tropical Sherbet Swizzle, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time.
The concept for Dr. Bombay Ice Cream was born from Snoop Dogg’s own experience of craving a perfect ice cream blend during a late-night snack session. As the rap legend explained in the brand’s launch, “Ice cream is more than just a snack to me; it’s a way to chill, relax, and get happy. That’s exactly what I want Dr. Bombay Ice Cream to do—bring a smile to your face and ease your mind.”
The brand has already expanded beyond its initial offerings, now available in major retailers like Walmart and convenience stores such as 7-Eleven and Speedway. The rapid growth can be credited not only to Snoop’s star power but also to Broadus’ vision. Serving as the brand’s creative director, Broadus draws inspiration from his great-grandfather, who owned a dairy farm in Mississippi. His family’s legacy of building generational wealth and financial independence serves as a driving force behind Dr. Bombay’s business model.
In an interview with Blavity, Broadus explained, “It starts with my great-grandfather in Mississippi… just the mentality of being a Black man in the ’50s and ’60s, owning land, and owning things that bring passive income. That’s how we think. We’re trying to build generational wealth and a legacy that will never be forgotten.”
The brand’s impressive early success reflects their vision. Since its launch just over a year ago, Dr. Bombay Ice Cream has reportedly generated more than $10 million in revenue, with distribution expanding across the nation. Broadus shared the milestone with followers on Instagram, declaring, “This is just the beginning.”
With the duo’s drive for innovation and wealth creation, Dr. Bombay Ice Cream is poised to continue its upward trajectory in the competitive ice cream market.
