Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus recently suffered a horrible health scare. In January of this year, it was reported that she experienced a “severe stroke” and had to be hospitalized for several days.
People reported on Cori’s reaction as she left the hospital to return home. She wrote on her Instagram Stories: “I can prolly cry,” before thanking everyone who had offered her their “continuous prayers, love etc.”
Cori had previously revealed the scary news in a post on her Instagram Stories. She wrote, “I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me.”
Later that month, Snoop Dogg told People that his daughter was “doing a little bit better” after her stay in hospital. He shared this update in a conversation with People during the premiere of his comedy movie The Underdoggs in Los Angeles, a week after the terrible incident took place.
Snoop Dogg was then asked if what happened to Cori gave him a new perspective on life. He said: “Yeah, yeah. Something like that.”
On January 22, Cori herself talked about how she was doing. The 24-year-old shared a picture of herself giving a thumbs-up. In the caption, she wrote: “God is working overtime, you hear me! My kidneys were doing terrible… doctors came in this AM and said they are improving so much.”
The next day, she wrote about going through so much like everyone else. She added that this is why she is so open about her life because she knows that she feels alone. But she also knows that we are never alone because someone somewhere is always going through the same thing.
These posts came shortly before she was discharged from the hospital.
Cori Was Diagnosed with Lupus as a Child
But Cori had learned to deal with her health issues long before her most recent incident. Her challenges were first discovered at a young age after she was diagnosed with lupus at the age of six. This autoimmune disease causes Cori’s immune system to mistake healthy parts of her body for threats like bacteria and viruses.
Last year, Cori shared her experience with lupus in an interview with People. She revealed at the time that she was better than she’d ever been and had stopped taking her medication about five months ago.
Instead, she had decided to take an all-natural approach. She said: “I’m just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas. I started working out, drinking lots of water.” Cori also claimed that her body had responded well to her change in lifestyle, saying, “So now I think my body’s like, OK, this is the new program, and she’s getting used to it.”

However, she also noted in the interview that there was more she could be doing for her wellbeing. She mentioned that she was still “eating terribly” and “not getting the proper rest.”
Cori mused, “If I can do a whole 360 change and just get healthy all around, U think I would be so good.” She concluded, “But I tell people all the time, it’s a day-by-day process. Things are going to take time. Nothing is going to happen overnight.”
Cori’s Engagement Faced Backlash
Despite all the difficulties she has to face, Cori has also stayed focused on realizing her many ambitions. Like her siblings, Corde and Cordell, she has chosen to walk the same path their dad did by entering the music business. She also started a beauty company called Choc Factory with her fiance, Wayne Deuce.
The couple got engaged in November 2022 but quickly faced some unpleasant backlash. Cori explained that she was met with a barrage of negative comments on her Instagram engagement post.
The post contained a photo of her smiling and holding out her hand to show off her new engagement ring. In the caption, she wrote that she was “a fiance.”

The post quickly gained over 160,000 likes, and most people who saw it seemed to be delighted for Cori. However, not all the comments were so positive. Some commenters thought it would be funny to make fun of her appearance.
VIBE reported that in an interview on Karamo, Cori opened up about feeling sad when reading the hurtful comments. She said it was because it was supposed to be “a happy moment” and “something she wanted to share with the world.” However, Cori had also been prepared for some negativity around her announcement.
She explained, “I actually waited a day because I knew, just being in the public eye, people are gonna say things.” Cori added that there was “always gonna be somebody with something negative to say.”
Hopefully, now that her health is improving, Cori will only be paying attention to positive news in the future.
