Snoop Dogg Shows Support for Daughter Cori Broadus After the Death of Her Baby Girl

The legendary hip-hop figure showed his love with a single image after the devastating tragedy that hit his family a few days ago, and the photo carried far more emotion than any caption ever could.

Snoop Dogg, 54, showed public support for his daughter Cori Broadus, 26, following the death of her baby girl, Codi Dreaux, last week.

The rapper shared the tender moment on Instagram on Saturday, January 31, 2026, just hours after Cori revealed the heartbreaking news herself, and it now has over 20,000 comments.

A Father's Support Caught in One Frame

The post itself was simple, but that simplicity is precisely what made it so striking. Snoop uploaded an image of himself standing with Cori and his sons, Corde, 31, and Cordell Broadus, 28, presenting a united family during an incredibly painful moment.

Cori wore a black outfit layered under a dark gray sweater jacket. Her brothers appeared in light gray sweatpants and sleeveless white shirts, flanking her, while Snoop grounded the group shot in the middle, like a true father figure, wearing a plaid shirt and black durag.

Although it was most likely taken at a different time, as Cori can be seen smiling, the image is still a powerful show of support. Additionally, instead of words, Snoop opted for symbols with the caption "💖🙏🏾."

That photo didn't exist in isolation. It came after months of emotional updates from Cori, who had already brought followers along on an intense and vulnerable journey into motherhood.

A Fragile Beginning Filled With Hope

Cori first announced the arrival of her daughter in late February 2025 with a black-and-white photo that instantly captured attention. The image showed only her baby's tiny foot, which is typical for most parents, but the caption revealed that this hadn't been a normal birth.

Snoop Dogg's daughter said that Codi was born at just 25 weeks. It was an overwhelming time for her, full of emotion and self-blame, but she leaned heavily on faith during the terrifying experience.

On her Instagram Stories back then, Cori offered more insight into what led to the premature birth. She explained that she had undergone an emergency C-section after visiting the doctor for what she thought was minor discomfort.

However, physicians ultimately diagnosed her with HELLP syndrome, a life-threatening pregnancy complication. Cori also recounted that doctors told her she was fortunate to come in when she did because waiting longer could have had devastating consequences.

And for a while, it seemed like the hardest part was behind her. On January 6, 2026, Cori posted a quiet moment that felt like a victory after months of fear.

"She's home. 🤍 Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all. 🕊️✨," she wrote. The image showed Cori in bed with her baby, a moment that now feels especially heavy, as it was the last photo shared of Codi before her passing.

After revealing the heartbreaking news, Cori also made a tribute for Codi, uploading a short sequence of images to her Instagram Stories. With little explanation, the posts allow the weight of her grief to unfold gradually.

The images began with a black-and-white photo of Cori lying beside her baby. She positioned her body protectively around the child, and text over the image conveyed the grief of a mother mourning her daughter.

Another image showed a close-up of the baby's hand resting against Cori.

The final image appeared to have been taken in a hospital room. Cori held her newborn as medical tubing and equipment remained visible. Text accompanying the photo reflected disbelief and emotional shock as she processed what had happened.

Cori's Partner Also Makes a Tribute

Wayne Deuce also shared his grief on the same platform. One image showed Wayne standing beside their baby in what appeared to be a hospital room. Equipment was visible nearby, suggesting the post was taken during the baby's care.

In another post, Wayne reshared a message from someone he knows. It showed a plain black screen with text expressing prayer, love, and emotional support for him and Cori.

Codi was Snoop Dogg's eighth grandchild, and though her life was heartbreakingly short, the love surrounding her was undeniable. That love is frozen in the photos, which now carry even deeper meaning for those who scroll back and really look.
