Snoop Dogg’s Daughter Suffers ‘Severe’ Stroke At Just 24

American rapper Snoop Dogg’s daughter revealed that she suffered a sudden, “severe” stroke in an Instagram post Wednesday.

Cori Broadus, 24, posted a photo of her lying in a hospital bed following the health episode.

“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.”

The young woman, who is the daughter of the rapper and his wife, Shanté Broadus, has struggled most of her life with health challenges since first being diagnosed with lupus at age 6. Lupus is an autoimmune disease which affects the body’s ability to distinguish healthy cells from viruses, harmful bacteria, and even cancer. The disease produces terrible inflammation in the joints and most organs, and while not fatal lupus can increase the risk of a stroke.

In September, Broadus spoke with PEOPLE Magazine about her condition and how she has made lifestyle changes to progress in her battle against the odds.

“I’ve been good, better than I’ve ever been,” she said, revealing that she went “all natural” and recently took a more holistic approach to her health after a tough journey that included a 2021 suicide attempt.

“I stopped taking all of my medication like five months ago,” Broadus shared. “I’m just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas. I started working out, drinking lots of water. So now I think my body’s like, OK, this is the new program and she’s getting used to it.”

The overload of medications, she added, made her “feel like I was going insane.”

“I’ve had medication since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself,” she said. “I wanted to change because it just became a lot. I’m only 24 years old, taking 10 to 12 pills every single day. So I kind of just went cold Turkey.”

That said, the hard work and determination are starting to show results for Broadus, even if she knows more must be done along the way.

“My body is not achy,” she explains. “When you have lupus, that’s one of the number one things. You have achy joints, you have arthritis. And now I’m like, damn, I’m not complaining about my knees, my feet, my hands, my back.”

“It’s continuously a learning process because there’s so much more I could be doing,” she explained, noting that she still struggles with “eating terribly” and “not getting the proper rest.”

“If I can do a whole 360 change and just get healthy all around, I think I would be so good,” she said. “But I tell people all the time, it’s a day-by-day process. Things are going to take time. Nothing is going to happen overnight.”

The 24-year-old took to the music industry, following in her father’s footsteps to chart her own career as a singer and entrepreneur. Her skincare company, Choc Factory, sells beauty products in a joint venture with her boyfriend Wayne Duece.
