Snoop Dogg posted a loving message to his daughter, Cori Broadus, after news broke that her ten-month-old daughter had died.
On Monday (February 2), the West Coast icon posted a now-vanished photo on his Instagram (caught by TMZ) of himself, Cori, 26, and his sons, Cordell, 28, and Corde, 31, showing that the family is in full support of the Journals to Johnny singer. Snoop kept the message brief, posting a prayer emoji and a sparkling pink heart.
News of that Cori’s daughter had passed away broke last week, when the reality television star and beauty entrepreneur posted a photo of her cradling the late infant on Instagram Stories. Cori was diagnosed with lupus at six years old, has secondary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, and suffered a stroke in January 2024.
“Monday, I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” Cori wrote about her late child with fiancé Wayne Deuce.
A follow-up post showed Cori’s frustration with her daughter’s passing less than a month after she was released from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The infant was born three months premature last February and was in the NICU for a large portion of her life.
Cori kept fans up-to-date on her daughter’s health in a vlog posted last October and shared her perspective on being a first-time mom with a baby in the NICU.
According to UCLA, Cori had upper abdominal pain in her second trimester and discovered that she developed a variant of preeclampsia called HELLP (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets).
“I was a wreck,” Cori said. “I was just so sad, and felt like I’d failed my baby. I felt like I couldn’t give her what she needed as her mama. I couldn’t give her the right environment to grow in, the nutrition she needed.”
