The music world and fans globally are offering condolences as legendary rapper Snoop Dogg faces a profound family tragedy with the passing of his beloved granddaughter, Codi. The heartbreaking news was confirmed by Snoop's daughter, Cori Broadus, who made the emotional announcement via social media on Saturday, January 31.

Cori Broadus shared the devastating update with her followers by posting a poignant black-and-white photograph. In the image, she is seen smiling tenderly while cradling her baby daughter. Accompanying the photo was a deeply personal message where Cori expressed her immense grief, describing Codi as "the love of my life" and revealing that the infant had passed away earlier in the week.
She wrote over the photograph, "Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi," marking the post with symbolic imagery to convey her sorrow. The announcement has resonated widely, drawing an immediate wave of sympathy from fans and the public alike.

Codi's Challenging Health Journey
Codi, Snoop Dogg's 10-month-old granddaughter, faced significant medical challenges from birth.

Despite these hurdles, Cori had been sharing hopeful updates with her social media followers in recent weeks.
Just prior to Codi's passing, Cori posted a photo of herself resting alongside her daughter, expressing gratitude and faith. She noted that God had answered their prayers and that Codi was showing encouraging signs of improvement, making the sudden loss even more heartbreaking for the family.
Outpouring of Support and Sympathy
News of Codi's death has prompted an overwhelming outpouring of sympathy from fans, celebrities, and well-wishers worldwide. Social media platforms have been flooded with messages of comfort and prayers for the Broadus family as they grieve the loss of their youngest member.
This tragic event underscores the fragility of life and the universal pain of losing a child, touching hearts across communities and highlighting the strength of family bonds in times of sorrow.
