Cori Broadus, the daughter of Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus, revealed that she experienced a severe stroke on Thursday.
Sharing a photo from a hospital bed, the singer, known as Choc, posted on her Instagram story, “I had a severe stroke this am.” She expressed her emotional reaction, saying, “I started breaking down crying when they told me.”
In a subsequent post with text covering her face, she wrote, “Like I’m only 24. What did I do in my past to deserve this.”
Cori Broadus, who has over 650,000 followers on Instagram, is the youngest child of the famous rapper and Shante, alongside their other children, Corde and Cordell. Snoop Dogg also has a son, Julian, from his previous relationship with Laurie Holmond. Cori is the CEO of the makeup brand Choc Factory Co.
In 2021, Cori revealed on Instagram that she was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 6, a condition that she said contributed to poor mental health.
“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 it automatically messed with my mental health… people looked at me like I was an alien,” she shared at the time.
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and pain in various parts of the body. It occurs when the immune system attacks healthy tissue.
Last September, Cori opened up about her battle with lupus, sharing her journey towards better health through natural methods. She mentioned discontinuing medications, adopting a natural lifestyle with herbs and sea moss teas, and focusing on fitness and hydration.
“I’ve had medications since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So, I wanted better for myself. 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 went cold turkey.”
Family, friends, and fans have taken to their Instagram stories to send well-wishes to the young Broadus.
