Cori Broadus, daughter of rapper Snoop Dogg, has welcomed her baby girl prematurely at 25 weeks. Sharing the news on social media, Cori posted a heartfelt message along with a picture of her newborn’s tiny foot. Despite the challenges, she expressed gratitude and faith, thanking God for bringing her and her baby this far.
Cori’s Emotional Announcement
In her emotional post, Cori opened up about her struggles, self-doubt, and the overwhelming emotions that came with her baby’s early arrival.
“The princess arrived at 6 months. I’ve cried and cried, I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself that I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed. But no matter what, God always shows me that I’m His Child! Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s perfect as ever! Thank You, God, for getting me this far no matter the odds that are constantly thrown against me.”
Her followers showered her with love and support, with messages like:
- “Awww, she is covered and blessed and will be just fine. Congrats on your new blessing.”
- “Amen! Congratulations!”
- “Congratulations, Mama Bear, and God Bless Baby Girl! Happy Birthday, Princess.”
Cori’s Pregnancy Journey
Cori, who is engaged to Wayne Deuce, announced her pregnancy in December 2023. The news came as a surprise, as she admitted in a previous post:
“This baby is so unplanned, but we are soooooo blessed.”
Her pregnancy was considered high risk due to her lupus diagnosis. Cori has been open about her health struggles, including suffering a severe stroke in early 2023, which left her questioning, “What have I done to deserve this?”
Doctors closely monitored Cori throughout her pregnancy, concerned for both her and the baby’s wellbeing.
Snoop Dogg’s Reaction to Becoming a Grandfather
Despite initially hoping for a grandson, Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Broadus, were thrilled about the arrival of their granddaughter. Cori previously shared that she was excited to shower her baby girl with love and build her confidence from a young age.
“I’m just excited to love on my baby girl and make her feel like she’s the prettiest in the world. Growing up, I wasn’t the most confident and never felt like I fit in, so I want to instill all the beautiful things in her head at a young age.”
Wayne, Cori’s fiancé, was equally overjoyed, expressing excitement about having a “mini” version of Cori.
“Wayne said he’s excited to have someone that looks like me. He knows she is going to be so beautiful, and he just can’t wait to build things for her and give her all the love in the world.”
