Despite an earlier Friday morning report from TMZ.com claiming that Snoop Dogg’s wife, Shante Broadus, might be dead, the rapper’s manager has dismissed the rumor as “ridiculous,” MTV News has learned.

TMZ reported that an anonymous tipster called into the California Highway Patrol on Thursday saying that Snoop had “the dead body of his wife in his basement” after the woman was killed in car accident.

Snoop, Shante, and their three children are the subject of the E! reality series, Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood.
