Rapper Snoop Dogg is supporting daughter Cori Broadus after the death of her baby mere weeks after coming home from a months-long stint in the NICU.

Codi Dreaux, born three months pre-term via emergency c-section last February, was 10 months old.

Broadus, 26, announced her loss on Saturday with a post in her Instagram Stories.

“Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” she wrote accompanying a black-and-white photo of herself smiling down at the baby cradled in her arms. She punctuated the statement with an angel-wing emoji.

Her fiancé, Wayne Deuce, was equally devastated. The two had been overjoyed to announce Broadus’s pregnancy, their first child, in December 2024 and had been glued to her bedside during her hospital stay.

 

“I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux,” Deuce captioned a father-daughter photo screenshot by People. “But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you. My baby.”

A few hours after Broadus’s announcement, her rapper father, Snoop, whose given name is Calvin Broadus, publicly showed his support in an Instagram post of his own. The photo of himself, daughter Cori and sons Corde and Cordell, age 31 and 28, was captioned simply with a heart and a pair of praying hands. Codi was his eighth grandchild.

On Monday bereaved mom Broadus was still “waiting for someone to tell me to wake up and this is just a bad dream,” she wrote in a heartbreaking series of Instagram Story frames.
