In a heartwarming milestone for one of music’s most iconic families, Snoop Dogg’s granddaughter has finally been discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) after an extraordinary 10-month stay. The joyful announcement came from the rapper’s daughter, Cori Broadus, marking the end of a challenging journey that began with a high-risk premature birth.
Codi (affectionately nicknamed “Tiny C” by her family) was born in February 2025 at just 25 weeks gestation—nearly three months early. During a routine checkup, doctors discovered a serious pregnancy complication requiring immediate delivery. Cori, who has openly shared her experiences with health conditions including lupus, described the moment as emotional and unexpected, reflecting on the intense fear and resilience required during those early days.
For the next 10 months, Codi remained under specialized care in the NICU, where she demonstrated remarkable strength and perseverance. Cori and her fiancé, Wayne Duece, documented parts of the experience on social media, offering glimpses into the daily challenges and small victories while raising awareness for other families facing similar situations. The story even gained recognition from UCLA Health for its inspirational value in supporting NICU parents.
Throughout the ordeal, Snoop Dogg—proud grandfather to eight grandchildren—remained a vocal source of support. In interviews last September, the legendary rapper described Codi’s birth and ongoing progress as one of the brightest highlights of his year. He praised her resilience, noting how the tiny fighter had brought immense joy to the Broadus family amid everything else going on.
Cori shared the uplifting update in early January 2026 via Instagram, posting tender moments of mother and daughter together at home. She expressed deep gratitude for the prayers, messages, and love from supporters, crediting them—and divine intervention—for helping carry the family through. Fans and fellow NICU parents flooded the comments with congratulations, empathy, and celebration, many noting how this homecoming felt like the perfect way to begin the new year.
This release represents a profound triumph over adversity, highlighting the incredible advances in neonatal care and the unbreakable bond of family. As Codi settles into life at home, the Broadus clan looks forward to new chapters filled with love, growth, and the continued strength that has defined their journey so far. Congratulations to Cori, Wayne, little Codi, and the entire family—here’s to brighter days ahead!
