Snoop Dogg’s Daughter Cori Shares Heartbreaking Updates Following the Loss of Her Baby Daughter
Rapper Snoop Dogg's only daughter recently posted a series of somber social media images that quietly revealed the profound personal loss she is now facing.
Cori Broadus shared a short sequence of images to her Instagram Stories during an intensely painful moment following the loss of her baby daughter, Codi Dreaux.
With little explanation, the posts allow the weight of her grief to unfold gradually.

The images began with a black-and-white photo of Cori lying beside her baby. She positioned her body protectively around the child, and text over the image conveyed the grief of a mother mourning her daughter.

As Cori's posts drew an outpouring of support, those closest to her also began sharing their own reactions to the loss.
Wayne Deuce also shared his grief on the same platform. One image showed Wayne standing beside their baby in what appeared to be a hospital room. Equipment was visible nearby, suggesting the post was taken during the baby's care.

Deuce was not the only family member to address the loss publicly.
Snoop Dogg acknowledged the loss with a post on his Instagram page. He shared a family photo showing Cori surrounded by her older siblings, including himself. The caption consisted only of two emojis, a heart and folded hands, without additional commentary.

Just weeks earlier, Cori had shared updates that reflected relief and gratitude after a difficult start.
As previously reported, Cori shared on Instagram that quietly shook fans and the hip-hop icon's extended family. Her words revealed a loss that unfolded after a brief but intense medical battle.

In an earlier post, Cori had written, "She's home. Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all." At the time, it sounded like the ending everyone was hoping for.
The baby girl had spent time in the hospital shortly after birth. While details were kept private, the relief was clear when Cori announced her return home.
Just 20 days later, that relief was replaced with grief.
"Monday, I lost the love of my life. My Codi," Cori wrote in a black-and-white photo showing her cradling her newborn in a hospital room. The post was simple, raw, and impossible to read without pausing.

She later added another update, admitting how unreal everything felt: "20 days later?! dawg im [sic] sick." The shock was evident, not just sadness, but disbelief that everything changed so quickly.

Friends, family, and supporters flooded her page with messages of love and prayer. Monica Denise reposted the image with the message, "We are covering you and nephew with love and prayers daily… We love you."

In the midst of mourning, Cori also shared a mirror selfie with the caption "Damn church," a quiet reminder that life keeps moving even when grief refuses to.

The loss of Snoop Dogg's granddaughter has resonated far beyond the family. Fans who followed the journey — from worry to relief to heartbreak — expressed sorrow at how quickly hope turned into tragedy.
No cause of death has been publicly shared, and the family has not disclosed further details at this time.
For now, Cori's words say more than any explanation could. A baby who was finally home, a future imagined, and a goodbye that came far too soon.
