Hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg’s 24-year-old daughter, Cori Broadus, has been hospitalized after suffering a “severe stroke.”
Broadus made the announcement Thursday, posting photos from her hospital bed on social media.
“I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me,” she wrote.
“Like I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.”

There are no details about what led to her stroke, or if she suffered an ischemic stroke, which occurs when blood clots block blood vessels to the brain, according to the CDC.
Cori Broadus was also diagnosed with Lupus when she was just six years old, which is an autoimmune disease that targets healthy tissue throughout the body.
“No one could tell me what was wrong,” said Shanté Broadus, the rapper’s wife, in 2010.
“They drew tons of blood and said she has old-person cells. They gave her all kinds of [medication]. But she went downhill.”
“She’s the toughest little thing I’ve ever met,” Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., also said at the time.
“She’s on the honor roll, playing volleyball and softball, living life. She has all this joy. In the beginning lupus was winning. But now Cori is.”
Cori Broadus revealed in 2021, she was suffering from severe mental health issues, including a suicide attempt.
At the time, she said she had become frustrated by comparing her life to others and feeling that others were not taking her struggles seriously.
“Just because my dad is who he is doesn’t mean I don’t get sad, that doesn’t mean that I don’t want things or that I don’t feel a way,” she aid at the time.
“I don’t know how to explain it,” she said. “I’ve always been sad. I’ve always been depressed. I feel like I’ve been through a lot.”
“I’ve been sick, I am sick. It’s a lot. Body hurting, you’re just in pain, and you’re so young you’re like, ‘What is happening to me? What is going on?'” she continued.
“And then you look at your brothers and your other family members like ‘Why me?’ Not saying I wish they had it, but why me? Why am I going through this? Why did God choose me?”
