In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Cori Broadus, daughter of the iconic Snoop Dogg, is grieving the tragic loss of her infant daughter, Codi Dreaux. Cori and her fiancé, Wayne Deuce, had welcomed little Codi into their lives just a short time ago, and the couple is now facing the unimaginable pain of losing her.
Earlier today, Cori took to Instagram to share her sorrow with a heartfelt message, revealing, “Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi.” Her words resonate deeply, capturing the profound loss and love she feels for her daughter.
Wayne Deuce, equally devastated, expressed his grief in an Instagram Story, sharing a poignant photograph of himself holding baby Codi. “I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux,” he wrote, adding, “But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you.” His words speak volumes of the heartache and longing that accompany such a loss.
The devastating news comes on the heels of a moment of hope, as Cori had recently shared the joyful update that Codi had been discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after spending an extended period there. That relief has now turned to sorrow, as the family navigates this difficult chapter.
The sad news comes just weeks after Cori shared that her daughter had been released from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit following a lengthy hospital stay.
Earlier this month, Cori revealed that Codi, who was born prematurely at 25 weeks in February 2025, had finally come home after spending nearly 10 months in the NICU.
“She’s home,” the 26-year-old wrote in a Jan. 6 Instagram post alongside photos of herself resting in bed with her baby. “Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all.”
Cori first announced Codi’s birth on March 1, sharing a black and white photo of her daughter’s tiny foot. At the time, she opened up about the emotional toll of delivering six months into her pregnancy.
She wrote, “The princess arrived at 6 months. I’ve cried and cried, I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself because I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed. But no matter what God always shows me that He got me! Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s the best!! Thank You God for getting me this far #nicubaby #25weeks.”
Codi was Cori’s first child with Deuce. The entrepreneur previously shared that doctors considered her daughter a miracle baby due to her lifelong battle with lupus and a stroke she suffered in January 2024, which raised serious concerns about risks to both her and the baby.
“A mother’s love knows no bounds. From the NICU to endless cuddles, every note is a promise, every melody a hug. #NICUMiracle #momentsthatmatter,” Cori wrote in a March 2025 post.
