Snoop Dogg and his family are facing a heartbreak no parent or grandparent should ever have to endure. His 10‑month‑old granddaughter, Codi Dreaux, born three months premature and fighting for her life in the NICU for nearly a year, passed away on 26 January. Her mother, Cori Broadus, shared the devastating news with a black‑and‑white photo and the words no one ever wants to write: “Monday, I lost the love of my life. My Codi.” The family had only recently celebrated Codi’s long‑awaited release from hospital, just 20 days before her passing—making the loss feel even crueller.
Snoop, usually a man of words, responded with quiet grief, posting a family photo marked only by a sparkling heart and prayer‑hands emoji, a silent show of unity as the Broadus family tries to steady itself in the storm. In moments like this, the world feels a little heavier. Entertainment may be our beat, but humanity is our anchor and right now, the Broadus family deserves every ounce of compassion we can muster. Cori’s fiancé, Wayne Deuce, shared his own aching tribute, writing that he has been “the saddest” since losing his daughter, but finds solace believing she is at peace.
Fans across the globe have flooded social media with condolences, holding Snoop and his loved ones in their thoughts as they navigate unimaginable grief. It’s a reminder that behind the fame, behind the music, behind the legend, there is a family shattered by loss—one that needs space, love, and light as they mourn their little Codi.
