Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus is mourning the loss of her 10-month-old daughter.
Following her announcement of her daughter Codi's death on Saturday, Jan. 31, the 26-year-old shared several pictures of her late daughter Codi on her Instagram Stories. One of the photos she posted shows her holding her baby girl during her extended stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In the text over the picture, Broadus said that she wished this situation were a "bad dream."
"Waiting for someone to tell me to wake up and this is just a bad dream." she wrote.
She also shared another black-and-white picture, showing her lying down next to her little one. “You were supposed to burry [sic] me.. not me burry [sic] you Codi,” Broadus wrote over the photo.

Broadus also included two pictures where she can be seen with her little one. While she kept her face hidden, she shared a small glimpse of her daughter.
"I want to join you badly," she wrote on one of the photos.
Broadus shared the tragic news of her daughter's death in a post on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, Jan. 31. The post featured a black-and-white photo of her smiling while holding her baby. She wrote over the photo, “Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” along with an emoji of an angel wing.
Cori’s fiancé, Wayne Deuce, also shared a series of photos on his own Instagram Stories.
“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 his daughter. “My baby,” he added.

Snoop, 54, addressed the tragic news of his 10-month-old granddaughter's passing in an Instagram post on Saturday, Jan. 31, just hours after Broadus publicly announced Codi's death.
Sharing a photo of himself with her and his sons, Corde, 31, and Cordell, 28, Snoop penned the caption, “💖🙏🏾.” Cordell shared a tribute to his sister on his Instagram Stories, “Lil sis, we got you forever,” as he reposted the family photo.

Broadus, who's Snoop’s youngest child and only daughter, shared in a February 2025 Instagram post that Codi had been born three months early.
“The princess arrived at 6 months,” she wrote in the birth announcement, which included a black-and-white photo of the baby’s foot. “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 an Instagram Stories post shared the same day, she revealed that she had delivered the baby via C-section after doctors told her she was developing HELLP syndrome, which stands for Hemolysis (the process of red blood cell destruction), Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets. Her baby girl ultimately spent 10 months in the NICU, with Broadus sharing that she finally was able to bring her baby home in early January.
"She’s home. 🤍," she captioned a Jan. 6 Instagram post featuring herself and Codi snuggling together on her bed. "Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all. 🕊️✨."
