Snoop Dogg Supports Daughter Cori Broadus After Death of Her 10-Month-Old Baby

Cori Broadus is detailing her grief.

Just days after Snoop Dogg’s daughter shared that her and fiancé Wayne Deuce's 10-month-old baby girl Codi Dreaux had died, the 26-year-old shared how she has been doing amid the this devastating time.

In a Feb. 1 Instagram Story, Cori shared a video of her rocking her daughter—who was born three months premature last February—and gently kissing her. Alongside the video, Cori wrote, “Waiting for someone to tell me to wake up and this is just a bad dream.” 

She shared another image of her lying beside her daughter in the bed, alongside the caption, “You were supposed to bury me…not me bury you Codi.” 

Cori revealed that her daughter died on Jan. 26, 20 days after she came home from the hospital after spending the first months of her life in the NICU.

"Monday, I lost the love of my life," Cori wrote on her Instagram Story Jan. 31 alongside a photo with her baby girl. "My Codi." 

For his part, Wayne—who got engaged to Cori in 2023—also mourned the loss of his daughter on his respective Instagram account. 

"I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux,” he wrote in a since-expired Instagram Story. “But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you."

Snoop—who shares sons Corde, 31, and Cordell, 28, with his wife Shante Broadus as well as son Julian, 27, from a previous relationship—expressed his grief over his granddaughter’s death by sharing a Jan. 31 Instagram post of him, Corde and Cordell standing around Cori, captioning the image with a red heart and praying hands emoji.

The same day, Cordell shared a family picture on his Instagram Story, alongside the caption, “Lil sis, we got you forever.” 

Cori had recently celebrated her daughter’s release from the hospital, after her extended time in the NICU, following her birth.

“She’s home,” she wrote alongside the Jan. 6 Instagram carousel that featured snaps of her and her baby girl in bed. “Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all.”
