Cori Broadus, daughter of Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., suffered a stroke Thursday morning. The 24-years-old Cori, share on her Instagram and “break down crying” while she shared about the health scare from hospital bed.
Snoop Dogg’s daughter has been hospitalized after a serious health scare. On Thursday morning, Cori Broadus shared what doctors told her about stroke.
“I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me,” she wrote in a two-photo slide to her followers. “Like I’m only 24; what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.”
Cori didn’t share any further details on what led to her stroke or her recovery, but the only daughter of the rapper with his wife, Shante Taylor, has previously opened up about her difficult health journey after being diagnosed with lupus at six years old to People, in September 2023. Then she detailed lifestyle changes in the way to control the condition.
“I’ve been good, better than I’ve ever been,” she shared. “I stopped taking all of my medication like five months ago. I’m just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas. I started working out [and] drinking lots of water. So now I think my body’s like, ‘Okay, this is the new program, and she’s getting used to it.'”
“I’ve had medication since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself,” she added at the time. “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.”
Cori said she knows there’s still more lifestyle changes to make that could benefit her health. “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.”
According to Mayo Clinic, lupus is a disease that arises when the body’s immune system begins to attack its tissues and organs. The disease can also cause inflammation, directly affecting joints, blood cells, lungs, heart, and more. Because it affects multiple organs in the body, it can increase the risk of a stroke. Lupus Corner states that “the risk of stroke is 4-times to 8-times higher in lupus patients, due to inflammation influencing the tendency of blood to clot and vasculitis stiffening the blood vessels.”
Other stroke sufferers
In 2022, model Hailey Bieber revealed she suffered stroke-like symptoms and was taken to the hospital, where doctors found she had experienced a “very small blood clot” to her brain that resulted in a “small lack of oxygen.” Bieber, who was 25 at the time, said she recovered completely.
Actor Luke Perry suffered a massive stroke in 2019 and was rushed to the hospital, where he died five days later. The actor, known for “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Riverdale,” was just 52. His death was a reminder that strokes can kill people at any age.
“Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Nene Leakes revealed in 2022 that her 23-year-old son, Brentt Leakes, had survived a stroke and congestive heart failure. In several Instagram stories, the reality star and actress spoke candidly about the incident, saying her son does not drink or do drugs and the doctors were trying to determine the cause.
Each year, more than 795,000 Americans suffer a stroke and about 140,000 of those people will die, according to the CDC. Non-Hispanic Black adults and Pacific Islander adults have the highest rates of death due to stroke.
We pray, so Cori Broadus will get recovery soon.
