Snoop Dogg’s daughter, Cori Broadus, appears to be recovering after the stroke she had in mid-January. She recently posted an Instagram story of herself walking around a suburban neighborhood.
According to the Daily Mail, she shared the video just days after getting out of the hospital. In the video, she was walking by herself without any assistance. Cori shared with her followers that she was exhausted but so proud of herself. She added that she was gaining her strength back slowly but surely.
TMZ reported that later that same day, Cori attended her first public event since her hospitalization. Snoop Dogg and Cori went to Charlie Wilson’s 71st birthday party together.
She uploaded pictures and videos from the event on her Instagram and captioned one of the posts by saying, ‘Honey, I’m Home. Cori was wearing a lilac purple sweatshirt, a pair of Ugg slippers, and a necklace.
She shared a photo of herself with the guest of honor, Charlie, and called him her ‘favorite’ in the caption. One of her other Instagram videos included a clip of her dad performing his hit, 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted, at the event.
He reportedly sang both his and Tupac Shakur’s verses.
Cori Told Her Story on Social Media
According to People Magazine, Cori has used her experience to encourage her Instagram followers to listen to their bodies. In a story she shared earlier this week, she explained that just before her stroke, she experienced several warning symptoms. They included blurry vision, nausea, fatigue, and a really bad headache on the right side of her head.
She added that she was glad she was still around and able to tell her story. Cori also revealed that her blood pressure was really high before she had her stroke. She said she’d been trying to keep track of it by logging her levels every day.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Cori was in the hospital for a week before she was finally allowed to go home. She let her followers know that she was headed home in an Instagram story after finding out that a CT scan of her chest had come back normal.
Cori confessed that she was so happy about going home that she could cry. She thanked everyone for their continuous prayers and love. Hours later, she shared a photo of a welcome home banner that was up in the living room.
Snoop Dogg gave his own update on Cori’s health in a People Magazine interview at the L.A. premiere of The Underdoggs. He told the news outlet that she was doing a little better. The interviewer asked him if the health scare had put life in perspective for him, and he confirmed that it had.
Lupus Increased Cori’s Risk of Stroke
Only a week earlier, Cori had posted a picture of herself in a hospital room on Instagram. Cori confessed that she broke down crying when the doctors told her that she’d had a stroke.
She pointed out that she was only 24 and asked what she’d done in her past to deserve it. Cori was diagnosed with lupus when she was just six years old.

According to the Lupus Foundation of America, it’s an autoimmune disease, so instead of fighting infections, the immune system attacks healthy tissue. It’s a condition that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of the body, including the kidneys, joints, brain, heart, lungs, and skin.
In a report about Cori’s hospitalization, Page Six reported that because Lupus has the ability to affect so many organs, it is also able to increase the risk of a stroke.
