Tragic Loss: Snoop Dogg’s Granddaughter Codi Dreaux Passes Away at 10 Months
The Broadus family is mourning a profound and heartbreaking loss. Snoop Dogg’s only daughter, Cori Broadus, has announced the death of her 10-month-old daughter, Codi Dreaux.
Codi, born to Cori Broadus and her fiancé Wayne Deuce, arrived prematurely in February 2025—three months early—and spent the majority of her short life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Medical teams worked diligently to support her fragile condition following the early delivery, which was complicated by Cori’s development of HELLP syndrome during pregnancy.
In early January 2026, the family celebrated a long-awaited milestone when Codi was finally discharged from the hospital and brought home on January 6. Cori shared joyful updates at the time, expressing gratitude for the prayers and support that had carried them through the challenging months.
Tragically, just 20 days later, on January 26, 2026, Codi passed away. Cori announced the devastating news on her Instagram Stories on January 31, 2026, posting a touching black-and-white photo of herself holding her baby girl. Over the image, she wrote: “Monday, I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” accompanied by an angel wing emoji.
In follow-up posts, Cori expressed her deep grief, noting the sudden turn of events after the brief time at home. Wayne Deuce also honored their daughter in his own emotional tribute.
No specific cause of death beyond complications related to her extreme prematurity has been publicly disclosed. Reports from outlets including E! News, TMZ, People, Complex, and Parade have confirmed the details based on Cori’s statements and family announcements.
This unimaginable tragedy has touched fans and the broader community, with many sending condolences and prayers to Snoop Dogg, Cori, Wayne, and the entire Broadus family during this time of immense sorrow.
Rest in peace, little Codi. 🕊️
