Snoop Dogg and his family are grieving the devastating loss of his granddaughter, Codi Dreaux, who has died at just 10 months old.
Snoop’s daughter, Cori Broadus, shared the heartbreaking news on Saturday, January 31, in an emotional Instagram Story. The black-and-white image showed Cori smiling while holding her baby, with text written across it that read, “Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” alongside an angel wing emoji.
Cori’s fiancé, Wayne Deuce, also paid tribute to their daughter on the app, posting photos of himself holding Codi. “I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you,” he wrote. He later added simply, “My baby.”

Cori previously revealed that her daughter was born three months early. “The princess arrived at 6 months,” she wrote in a February 2025 Instagram post announcing the birth. “Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s perfect as ever!” Cori also shared on her Story that she delivered via emergency C-section after developing HELLP syndrome, a serious pregnancy complication.
Following her premature birth, Codi spent 10 months in the NICU as doctors worked to stabilize her condition. Earlier this month, Cori shared what appeared to be a hopeful milestone, announcing that she had finally been able to bring her daughter home. “She’s home. 🤍,” she wrote on Jan. 6. “Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all. 🕊️✨.”

In 2024, Cori revealed that she suffered a “severe stroke,” an experience she later reflected on in a trailer for the three-part special Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s Story. “My health was declining,” Cori said in the preview. She recalled the moment doctors explained what had happened, saying, “Doctor comes in, ‘Cori, you had a stroke.’” In the same clip, she added, “I’m hurting. I’m scared. Why is this happening to me?”
Snoop (who’s real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) is grandfather to 7 kids: Zion, 11, Elleven, 7, Cordoba, 6, Kai (who passed away 10 days after his birth in 2019), Sky, 4, Chateau, 4, and Symphony, 3.
