Alright, everyone, brace yourselves. This is some seriously intense news, and it might just catch you off guard!
We’re diving into the real story behind Cori Broadus, the 24-year-old daughter of rap legend Snoop Dogg, and her recent health scare.

In January this year, Cori revealed that she suffered a severe stroke. Fans all over the world have been sending all their love and well-wishes her way.
But what exactly happened? How did Cori, at just 24, end up dealing with something so serious? Most importantly, how is she doing now?
Let’s get into it!
Cori Listened to Her Body’s Warning Signs
First things first, when Cori Broadus took to Instagram and shared the news that she had suffered a severe stroke, fans and followers couldn’t believe it. Cori’s young, vibrant, and seemingly healthy, so how could this have happened?
In her Instagram story, Cori revealed she started feeling the symptoms just a day before the stroke hit. Let’s talk about those warning signs because they’re important to know.
Cori shared that she had blurry vision, nausea, fatigue, and a “really bad headache” on the right side of her head. Imagine trying to push through your day and suddenly dealing with those symptoms. It sounds pretty scary, right?
But here’s the thing: Cori listened to her body, and that may have saved her life. She reminded her followers how important it is to pay attention to the signals your body sends you.
We have to give her major props for raising awareness because a lot of people might brush off these symptoms, thinking they’re no big deal. But for Cori, they were the early warning signs of something much more serious, a stroke at 24. While a stroke can technically happen to anyone, it’s always more surprising when it happens to vibrant, seemingly healthy young people.
Here’s what happened to Cori right before her stroke. She shared that her blood pressure was sky-high before the stroke, 170, to be exact. If you know anything about blood pressure, you’ll know that’s a dangerous level, especially for someone so young.
With that in mind, she now keeps a close eye on her blood pressure. She even shared that she’s been logging her levels every day since returning home from the hospital.
Luckily, she updated followers saying that her blood pressure had dropped to a much healthier 118/80, and she couldn’t be more grateful for the progress. Seeing how far she’s come in such a short time is incredible.
Cori Has Fought a Lifelong Battle with Lupus
But here’s the big question everyone’s asking: why did this happen? Let’s not forget, Cori’s health challenges didn’t just start with this stroke.
To those who don’t know or remember, she’s been open about her lifelong battle with lupus, an autoimmune disease that she was diagnosed with at the age of six. Lupus is no joke. It’s a condition where the body’s immune system basically starts attacking itself, leading to a whole host of problems.
Cori’s been dealing with this for most of her life, and it’s shaped who she is today.
Back in the early days of her diagnosis, both Snoop Dogg and his wife Shanté Broadus were desperate to figure out what was wrong with their daughter. They felt helpless watching Cori get worse without knowing how to help her.
Snoop once told People magazine that he had “no power, no friends” when his daughter’s illness was at its worst. Shanté recalled doctors drawing blood and discovering that Cori had what they described as “old-person cells,” which must have been terrifying to hear when your child is so young.
But the family is strong and they have each other’s backs. Thanks to her parents’ support and her own resilience, Cori has learned how to take care of her health and will fight to live the painless life she deserves.
Cori Is Surrounded by a Supportive Family
Cori has taken an inspiring approach to managing her lupus in recent years. Last year, she revealed that she stopped taking her medications and switched to a holistic lifestyle.
Instead of relying on traditional medicine, Cori has turned to herbs, sea moss, and natural teas, along with an intense focus on working out and staying hydrated. It took a while for her body to adjust to “the new program,” as she put it, which is understandable, of course. But could her holistic lifestyle have played a role in her recent health scare?
While Cori hasn’t outright said that, it’s definitely a reminder that managing chronic illnesses like lupus is tricky. It’s great to focus on natural remedies, but it’s also important to keep tabs on medical markers, like blood pressure, that can signal bigger issues.

After her stroke, Cori got a ton of love from her family—no surprise there. Her mom, Shanté, posted a touching throwback photo of Cori as a little girl, calling her daughter a “warrior.”
Seriously, talk about mama bear vibes! I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg himself gave an update on Cori’s health while attending the Los Angeles premiere of The Underdoggs. He kept things brief, reassuring fans that she was doing “a little bit better.”
However, Snoop couldn’t hide his emotions when he admitted that the worrying incident had made him see life differently. It’s clear that Cori’s stroke shook her family to the core, but it’s also been a reminder of just how strong and resilient Cori is.
Cori Closely Monitors Her Health
Now, let’s talk about the good news. Cori is safe and happy at home! When she returned, she posted a heartwarming photo of her living room decked out with a “Welcome Home” banner, showing that her loved ones are showering her with love and support during her recovery.
And while she’s happy to be back, Cori is taking this as a learning experience. She’s been open about tracking her health closely and doing what it takes to get better. It’s super inspiring to see someone so young face such a serious health crisis with such positivity and determination.
We also can’t ignore that Cori’s recovery is a testament to the importance of listening to your body. As she said, those early symptoms were her body’s way of telling her something wasn’t right.
While a lot of people might try to sleep it off, she did the right thing and asked for help. By paying attention and getting medical help in time, she was able to avoid an even worse outcome.
It’s scary to think about what could have happened if she had waited longer to get help, but it should serve as a reminder that tragedies can be avoided by reacting quickly.
Not Even a Stroke Could Stop Cori
So, now that the worst is over, what’s next for Cori? As she continues to recover, she’s already making it clear that she’s not letting this setback stop her.
She’s still running her beauty business, Choc Factory, where she’s the CEO and working on building her brand. Let’s not forget that she’s also an advocate for mental health and self-love, using her platform to spread awareness about lupus and now, stroke recovery.
Cori is living proof that even in the face of health challenges, you can still be a boss and live your life to the fullest. She’s got the love and support of her family, her fans, and her community, and I, for one, can’t wait to see what she does next.
Before I wrap things up, I want to take a moment to appreciate how important it is to have a public figure speak so candidly about the warning signs of a stroke, especially since her followers are mostly in their teens and 20s. Strokes can happen at any age, and the symptoms aren’t always obvious.
Cori’s story is a powerful reminder that if you ever experience things like sudden vision changes, extreme fatigue, or severe headaches, don’t brush them off! Get checked out!
Cori Broadus is a fighter, there’s no doubt about that. From battling lupus to now recovering from a severe stroke, she’s shown us all what strength, resilience, and a positive attitude look like.
I’m so happy to see her on the mend. I’m sure, that once she’s strong enough, she will do great things.
