The hip-hop community is mourning the loss of Snoop Dogg’s granddaughter, Codi Dreaux, who tragically passed away at just 10 months old. The heartbreaking news was shared by Snoop’s daughter, Cori Broadus, via an emotional post on her Instagram Story, where she expressed her devastation with the words, “Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” accompanied by an angel wing emoji.
Cori’s fiancé, Wayne Deuce, also paid tribute to their daughter on social media, sharing heartfelt photos and reflecting on his grief. “I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you,” he wrote, followed by a simple yet poignant, “My baby.”
Codi was born three months premature, an experience that Cori documented on Instagram, sharing the challenges she faced during her pregnancy, including a serious complication known as HELLP syndrome, which led to an emergency C-section. After spending 10 months in the NICU, Codi had recently come home, a moment Cori celebrated just weeks before the tragic news.
In previous posts, Cori opened up about her own health struggles, including a severe stroke in 2024, which she discussed in a trailer for the upcoming special, Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s Story. Her resilience and strength through these trials have touched many, making the loss even more poignant for family, fans, and followers alike.
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has seven grandchildren in total, but the passing of Codi has left a significant mark on his family. The loss is felt deeply, not just within the family but across the entire community that has followed Snoop’s journey.
