Snoop Dogg’s Daughter Cori Broadus Announces Death of Her Baby Girl

Cori Broadus, the daughter of American rap icon Snoop Dogg, has announced the heartbreaking loss of her baby girl, Codi Dreaux.

Cori shared the tragic news via her Instagram Stories, posting a black-and-white photo of herself smiling while holding her child. Overlaying the image, she wrote, “Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi.”

Her fiancé, Wayne Deuce, also took to Instagram Stories to mourn their daughter, sharing a series of emotional photos.

“I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you,” he wrote over an image of himself holding the baby. “My baby,” he added.

Cori is the youngest child of Snoop Dogg and his wife of over 35 years, Shante Broadus.

The actress and entrepreneur had previously shared details of Codi’s birth in an Instagram post on March 1, 2025, revealing that her daughter arrived prematurely.

“The princess arrived at 6 months,” she wrote at the time.

Opening up about the emotional toll of the experience, Cori added, “I’ve cried and cried, I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself that I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed. But no matter what, God always shows me that I’m His Child!

“Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s perfect as ever!” she continued. “Thank You God for getting me this far no matter the odds that are constantly thrown against me.”

In a separate Instagram Stories update shared the same day, Cori disclosed that she had undergone a C-section after doctors warned she was developing Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets, known as HELLP syndrome.

Codi spent 10 months in the neonatal intensive care unit, NICU, before Cori announced earlier this year that she had finally been able to bring her daughter home.

“She’s home,” she wrote in a January 6 Instagram post showing mother and child cuddling on a bed. “Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all.”

The announcement of Codi’s passing has since drawn an outpouring of sympathy and support for Cori and her family.
