Snoop Dogg and his daughter, Cori Broadus, have shared grief and tributes following the death of Cori’s 11‑month‑old daughter, Codi Dreaux. Cori announced the loss on Instagram and Snoop posted a brief family tribute on his own account.

Family tributes on Instagram

Cori Broadus revealed the news on her Instagram Story, sharing a photo of herself with her late daughter and writing across the image: “Monday, I lost the love of my life. My Codi.” In response, Snoop Dogg, described in the article as a 54‑year‑old music icon, uploaded a family photograph on his Instagram with only a red heart and praying hands emoji as his caption.

The child’s father, Cori’s fiancé Wayne Duece, also posted a tribute on Instagram, writing: “I’ve been the saddest since u left me, Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you. My baby.” Cori reposted an earlier update about bringing her daughter home from the hospital and overlaid it with the words, “20 days later? ! dawg im sick.”

Alongside family posts, Cori shared a post from Codi’s nurse that showed a mobile spinning above the infant’s crib. The nurse wrote, “I been sad for 6 days straight. Being a nurse has its ups and downs and this is the biggest down I ever experienced,” and said Cori and Wayne will remain “forever in my heart.”

Timeline and medical background

According to the article, Codi Dreaux passed away on Monday, January 26, at 11 months old — days after being released from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). She was born three months early in late February 2025 and spent several months receiving hospital care before being discharged at the start of the year.

Earlier posts from Cori described Codi’s premature arrival at 25 weeks and noted that she was delivered by emergency C‑section due to HELLP syndrome. The article says Codi spent 10 months in the NICU as medical staff worked to stabilize her condition. When Codi was discharged, Cori had written on Instagram, “She’s home. Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all.”

The piece also references the Mayo Clinic on the risks faced by babies born prior to 28 weeks, as noted in the original reporting.

Public reaction and messages of support

The article notes that Snoop Dogg has not released any additional statements beyond his Instagram post. Supporters filled the comments on his post with messages of sympathy — one commenter wrote, “Sending love and positive energy to the whole family,” another posted, “Sending prayers and love, I am so sorry,” and others left rows of heart emojis.
