Snoop Dogg’s Daughter Cori Broadus Announces Death of Her Baby Girl
A heartbreaking update has been shared by Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus. Cori announced that her baby daughter, Codi Dreaux, has died at 10 months old.
In an Instagram Stories post dated Saturday, Jan. 31, Cori shared the news alongside a black-and-white photo of herself smiling while holding her baby. Over the image, she wrote that she lost “the love of my life,” referring to Codi.
Baby Codi Dreaux Was Born Premature and Spent Months in the NICU
According to the report, Cori previously shared that Codi was born three months premature. The baby spent months in the NICU, and Cori had recently celebrated bringing her home earlier this month, calling it an answer to prayers after a long medical journey.
Cori’s posts over the past year reflected both gratitude and emotional honesty about how difficult the experience was. In her earlier update about the birth, she described the fear and self-blame many parents feel in high-risk situations, while also expressing faith and relief that her daughter arrived safely.
Cori’s Fiancé Wayne Deuce Also Shared a Message
Cori’s fiancé, Wayne Deuce, also posted about the loss on Instagram Stories, sharing photos and a message expressing his grief and love for his daughter.
A High-Risk Pregnancy and a Difficult Road
Cori has spoken publicly in the past about being high-risk during pregnancy. She previously said doctors were concerned for both her and the baby, and she shared that she ultimately delivered via C-section after doctors told her she was developing HELLP syndrome.
The story underscores how complicated and uncertain premature births can be, even after a baby makes progress and finally comes home. For many families, the NICU journey is not only physically exhausting, but emotionally overwhelming, filled with long stretches of hope, worry, and waiting.

A Private Family Tragedy Shared With the Public
While Cori did not share additional details beyond her public posts, her message immediately resonated with followers because of how direct and personal it was. Announcements like this are difficult to read, but they also reflect something real: many parents experiencing loss feel isolated, and speaking openly can be a way of honoring a child’s life while acknowledging the depth of grief.
For now, the focus remains on compassion and privacy. What Cori did share made one thing clear: Codi was deeply loved, and her loss is being felt intensely by those closest to her.
