Snoop Dogg's Daughter Cori Broadus Suffers 'Severe' Medical Emergency
Snoop Dogg and his daughter, Cori Broadus
Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus recently dealt with a scary medical situation.
On Thursday, Jan. 18, the 24-year-old revealed that she suffered a "severe stroke," which left her "breaking down crying" when she learned what had happened to her.
In snaps from the hospital posted via Instagram Stories, the singer shared the news, following up with an image of her in a pink hooded blanket to keep warm. "Like I'm only 24 what did I do in my past to deserve all of this," text over her face read.
Though she included no details surrounding the cause of the stroke, Cori has dealt with other health problems for several years.
The Death Row Records owner's only daughter, whom he shares with wife Shante Broadus, previously opened up about her "lifelong" lupus journey, after being diagnosed with the autoimmune disease at the age of 6.

Lupus is a disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. "Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems—including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs," according to Mayo Clinic. There is currently no cure for the health condition.
Further, it is documented that "patients with autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) showed an excess risk of stroke over the general population," per the National Library of Medicine, which could provide some insight into why the young woman was more susceptible to dealing with the medical emergency at her age.
After overcoming physical and mental health challenges in the past, including a suicide attempt in 2021, Broadus spoke out last year about making lifestyle changes, including going "all natural" and taking a more holistic approach to her health.
"I stopped taking all of my medication like five months ago," she said in September 2023. "I'm just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas."
The young woman had also noted her consistency with working out more often and drinking lots of water at the time. "So now I think my body's like, okay, this is the new program and she's getting used to it."
Parade has reached out to Snoop Dogg for comment.
