Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s Daughter, Says She Had A “Severe Stroke”

Published on January 20, 2024

On Thursday, Cori Broadus, daughter of rapper and actor Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Taylor Broadus, said on social media that she had a “severe stroke.”

Wideus, 24, put the message in an Instagram story.

The post, which had two teary-eyed emojis, said, “I had a severe stroke this am.”

“I started breaking down crying when they told me,” the caption concluded.

After that, Broadus put up another picture on her Instagram story.

It said, “Like I’m only 24 what did I do in my past to deserve all of this,” under the second picture.

“Each year, 10% to 15% of the nearly 795,000 people in the United States who have a stroke are between the ages of 18 and 45,” according to the American Heart Association.

“Despite a decline in the general population, stroke rates – and hospitalizations for it – have increased by more than 40% among younger adults in the past several decades.”

Broadus wrote on Instagram in 2021 that she was diagnosed with lupus when she was six years old. She says that this condition made her mental health worse in the long run.

“I grew up with two light-skinned brothers, and I was the only chocolate one. I was overweight. I got lupus at 6, so I was overweight from being on steroids, and that automatically messed with my health … People looked at me like I was an alien,” Broadus said at the time.

According to the Lupus Foundation of America, “Lupus is a chronic (long-term) disease that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of your body. It’s an autoimmune disease, which means that your immune system — the body system that usually fights infections — attacks healthy tissue instead.”

The LFA also says that “lupus increases your risk for heart disease.”

The LFA says that lupus can affect the skin, digestive system, kidneys, muscles, tendons, nerve system, and heart, among other parts of the body.
