Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus, has announced that her baby, Codi Dreaux, has died.
Cori, 26, took to Instagram to share the tragic news along with a black-and-white image of herself and her late child.
She wrote over the photo, “Monday, I lost the love of my life. My Codi.” Cori’s fiancé also paid tribute to their late daughter on Instagram.
He penned, “I’ve been the saddest since u left me, Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you. My baby.”
Snoop has yet to comment on the tragic family news. Cori previously opened up about her issues in her pregnancy, admitting her daughter was born three months early.
She wrote on Instagram in February last year, “The princess arrived at 6 months. Baby girl came at 25 weeks today, and she’s perfect as ever.” She also shared on her story that she delivered via emergency C-section after developing HELLP syndrome, a serious pregnancy complication.
Following her premature birth, Codi spent 10 months in the NICU as doctors worked to stabilize her condition. However, it all seemed to be working out for the best earlier this month as Codi was finally discharged from the hospital.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a baby born before 28 weeks of gestation is considered extremely preterm and, as a result, can experience a variety of health problems, including breathing issues, feeding problems, and difficulty regulating body temperature.
Six months after Codi’s birth, Cori spoke about the realities of being a NICU mother, describing her daughter as resilient and full of spirit despite her fragile health.
She told US Weekly, “That girl is so feisty. She’s so resilient and strong. She just has so much character… Yeah, the circumstances are not what you thought they would be, but it could be worse.”
Snoop’s only daughter, Cori, has had her own health issues in recent years, suffering a “severe stroke” in 2024.
Speaking to US Weekly, Cori admitted, “What really got me close with God is after I had my stroke. I told him, ‘God, if you get me out of here, I’m gonna tell the world about y’all and tell the world you’re real.’ And He did exactly that. And He gets me through.”
