Rap artist-turned-actor Snoop Dogg provided a brief update on Tuesday about his 24-year-old daughter Cori Broadus’ current condition as she recovers from a severe stroke.
“She’s doing a little bit better,” the 52-year-old told People Magazine while attending the Los Angeles premiere of his new sports comedy, “The Underdoggs.”
When the interviewer asked Snoop if the scary incident helped put his life’s priorities in perspective, the recording artist replied, “Yeah, yeah. Something like that.”
Cori is still in the hospital after experiencing a stroke on January 18, the publication noted. The rapper’s daughter shared on social media that she may be able to go home by Wednesday.
“They took me off heaprin [sic] tonight (blood thinner) & most likely can go home tomorrow,” she told fans on Tuesday.
Cori had previously updated her social media followers on her condition after the stroke occurred. “I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me,” she wrote in a post shared Thursday. “Like I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.”

Snoop’s daughter was diagnosed with Lupus, an autoimmune disease that targets healthy tissue and organs throughout the body, when she was six years old. Her mom, Shanté Broadus, said it took a while to get a correct diagnosis.
“No one could tell me what was wrong,” she said 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 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 admitted to struggling with mental health and attempting suicide in 2021.
“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. I don’t know how to explain it,” she said during a May 2021 interview with People. “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?’”
