Snoop Dogg’s family is mourning the death of his granddaughter, Codi Dreaux, who died at 10 months, according to posts shared by her parents on social media.
Codi’s mother, Cori Broadus, announced the loss Saturday in an Instagram Stories post featuring a black-and-white photo of herself holding her baby. “Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” Broadus, 26, wrote over the image, adding an angel wing emoji.
Codi’s father, Wayne Deuce, also shared tributes on Instagram Stories, posting photos of himself with his daughter. “I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you,” he wrote, adding simply, “My baby.”
Broadus, the youngest child and only daughter of the rapper Snoop Dogg, has previously spoken publicly about her daughter’s fragile health. In a February 2025 Instagram post announcing Codi’s birth, she said the baby arrived three months early at 25 weeks of pregnancy.
“The princess arrived at 6 months,” Broadus wrote at the time, sharing a photo of the infant’s foot. She described an emotional and difficult pregnancy, saying she struggled with self-blame before finding reassurance in her faith. “Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s perfect as ever,” she wrote, thanking God for carrying her through the ordeal.
Broadus later disclosed that doctors delivered the baby by cesarean section after she developed HELLP syndrome, a serious pregnancy complication involving the breakdown of red blood cells, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet levels.
Codi spent roughly 10 months in a neonatal intensive care unit. Earlier this month, Broadus shared that she had finally been able to bring her daughter home. In a Jan. 6 Instagram post showing the pair cuddled together, she wrote, “She’s home,” and thanked supporters for their prayers and messages.
Broadus first revealed she was expecting a daughter in December 2024, telling E! News that doctors considered her pregnancy high risk. “Doctors were very concerned for me and the baby,” she said at the time, adding that she leaned heavily on her faith throughout the experience.
The family did not disclose the cause of Codi Dreaux’s death.
