Tragic News Hits the Broadus Family

Cori Broadus, daughter of the legendary rapper Snoop Dogg, is enduring an unimaginable heartache. Just weeks after welcoming her daughter, Codi, home from the hospital, Cori shared the devastating news of her baby girl's passing on January 31. Codi had spent her first 10 months in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before finally being discharged.

A Heartfelt Instagram Tribute

On Instagram, Cori poured out her grief, revealing that Codi died 20 days after leaving the NICU. "Monday, I lost the love of my life. My Codi," she shared, along with a touching black-and-white photo of her holding Codi in the hospital. Her heartbreak resonated deeply with her followers, especially when she added, "20 days later? Dawg I'm sick."

"That girl is so feisty," Cori once shared about Codi. "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."

A Journey of Resilience and Love

Codi was born prematurely in February 2025, and her journey was marked by resilience and strength. Cori had been candid with her followers about the challenges and emotional toll of being a NICU mom. Her updates often celebrated Codi's spirit and the support from friends, family, and medical staff.

Family Ties and Support

Codi was Cori's first child with her fiancé, Wayne Deuce. As one of Snoop Dogg's three children with Shante Broadus, Cori has always been part of a close-knit family. Snoop has never shied away from expressing his love and pride in his family, which has always been a source of strength for Cori.

Remembering Codi

Just a few weeks before Codi's passing, Cori shared the joyous news of her daughter's release from the NICU. "She's home," she wrote, expressing gratitude for the prayers and support. Her journey with Codi, though tragically brief, was filled with moments of joy, resilience, and profound love.
