Cori Broadus, the daughter of renowned rapper Snoop Dogg, has welcomed her first child, a baby girl, after a challenging six-month pregnancy that culminated in a premature birth. The arrival of the infant, who was born at just 25 weeks, comes nearly ten weeks after Cori announced her pregnancy with fiancé Wayne Deuce.
On February 28th, the 25-year-old shared the joyful news on her Instagram account, posting an image of the baby’s tiny foot alongside a heartfelt message. “The princess arrived at 6 months. Baby girl came at 25 weeks today, and she’s perfect as ever,” Cori wrote, expressing her delight at becoming a mother.
While she celebrated the joy of motherhood, Cori also opened up about the emotional turmoil she experienced due to the premature birth. She admitted to feeling insecure about not carrying her baby to full term, stating, “I’ve cried and cried. I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself that I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed.” Despite these feelings, she conveyed a deep sense of gratitude, thanking God for the strength she felt throughout her journey. “No matter what, God always shows me that I’m His child,” she added, alongside a prayer hand emoji.
Cori’s pregnancy was labeled as high-risk due to her longstanding battle with lupus and her recovery from a stroke in January 2024. In prior interviews, she had expressed her concerns, revealing that doctors were closely monitoring her condition. “I’m high-risk pregnancy, and doctors were very concerned for me and the baby, but God has His hands on me, and me and the baby are doing perfectly fine despite the doctor’s concerns,” she told E! News in December.
The birth of her daughter marks Snoop Dogg’s eighth grandchild, and Cori is eager to embrace her new role as a mother. “I’m just excited to love on my baby girl and make her feel like she’s the prettiest in the world,” she shared, reflecting her aspirations for nurturing and cherishing her daughter.
As she embarks on this new chapter of her life, Cori Broadus’s story resonates with many who have faced similar challenges in their journeys to parenthood. Through her vulnerability and strength, she sets an inspiring example of perseverance and love amid adversity.
