Daddy will always love you” he wrote on social networks. Codi was their first child together. Snoop Dogg has not publicly commented on the tragedy, but shared a family photo on his profile with a glittering heart and clasped hands emoticon. His twenty-eight-year-old son, Cordell C. Broadus, posted the same post. “Sister, we are here for you forever“, he added.
Codi was born three months premature in February 2025 and spent ten months in the neonatal intensive care unit. “That little girl is such a fighter. She’s incredibly resilient and strong. She has so much character. The doctors and nurses always tell me, ‘Your baby has a head. She’s smart. She’s perceptive. She knows what’s going on. She hears. She sees. Yes, the circumstances are not what you imagined, but it could have been worse.'” She’s just a sweet little spark,” Cori told Us Weekly in September 2025.
