Snoop Dogg has shared a message of support for his daughter, Cori Broadus, following the death of her infant daughter, as tributes and messages of condolence continue to pour in.
On Saturday (Jan. 31), Snoop posted a family photo to Instagram that included Cori, captioning the image with a sparkling heart emoji and folded hands emoji. While he did not include a written message, fans and followers filled the comments with condolences and prayers for the Broadus family.
Earlier that day, the rapper’s daughter Cori Broadus shared that her 10-month-old daughter, Codi Dreaux, died on Jan. 26, just 20 days after coming home from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Codi was born three months premature.
“Monday, I lost the love of my life,” Broadus wrote on her Instagram Story, alongside a photo of herself holding her baby. “My Codi.”
Broadus shares Codi with her fiancé, Wayne Deuce, who also paid tribute to his daughter on social media. “I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you.”
Earlier this month, Broadus had shared footage of Codi returning home from the hospital after an extended stay in intensive care. “She’s home,” she wrote in a Jan. 6 Instagram post. “Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all.”
Broadus announced Codi’s birth last February, revealing she had gone into labor at 25 weeks. “The princess arrived at 6 months,” she wrote at the time. “I’ve cried and cried, I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself because I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed. But no matter what God always shows me that He got me!”
She continued, “Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s the best!! Thank You God for getting me this far.”
In the months that followed, Broadus frequently updated followers on her daughter’s journey, including a post shared during NICU Awareness Month in September. “Becoming a NICU mom was not part of the plan, but it became part of my story,” she wrote. “I carry my little warrior’s strength with me every day.”
Broadus is the youngest child of Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus. At the time of publication, Snoop Dogg had not publicly commented on his granddaughter’s passing.
