Snoop Dogg’s family is mourning an unimaginable loss after his daughter Cori Broadus announced the death of her baby girl, Codi Dreaux, just weeks after bringing her home from the hospital. The 26-year-old shared the heartbreaking news on social media, revealing that her daughter passed away on January 26, only 20 days after being discharged from the NICU.
Cori penned an emotional note
Cori posted an emotional black-and-white photograph of herself holding her baby and wrote, “Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi.” The brief yet powerful message captured the depth of a mother’s grief and left fans and followers stunned. Messages of condolence and support poured in almost immediately, with many offering prayers and words of comfort to the family.
Codi’s father, Wayne Deuce, also paid tribute to his daughter, sharing his own emotional message online. “I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux,” he wrote. “But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you. My baby.” His words reflected both sorrow and a quiet hope that his daughter was no longer suffering.
Codi’s life began with significant medical challenges. She was born prematurely at 25 weeks, after Cori developed HELLP syndrome, a serious and life-threatening pregnancy complication. Following her birth, Codi spent nearly ten months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where doctors worked tirelessly to stabilise her condition as her parents remained by her side.
What had happened
Earlier this month, Cori had shared a moment of joy when she announced that her daughter was finally coming home. “She’s home. Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all,” she had written, celebrating what felt like the end of a long and exhausting battle. That happiness, however, was tragically short-lived.
The family has not disclosed the cause of Codi’s death, choosing instead to grieve privately. Snoop Dogg has not yet made a public statement, but fans around the world have expressed solidarity with the rapper and his family during this painful time.
Cori’s journey with her daughter, marked by resilience, faith and unwavering love, deeply touched many. Though Codi’s life was brief, the love surrounding her was immense, a legacy that continues through the memories and prayers shared by those who followed her story.
