It’s time for Snoop Dogg to pour a celebratory gin and juice.
Nearly 10 weeks after the rapper’s only daughter Cori Broadus announced she was expecting her first baby with fiancé Wayne Deuce, she prematurely gave birth to a baby girl at 25 weeks of pregnancy.
“The princess arrived at 6 months,” Cori wrote in her Feb. 28 Instagram announcement, alongside a picture of the baby’s foot. “Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s perfect as ever!”
And though the 25-year-old is ecstatic for the baby’s arrival, she also shared the insecurity she felt for not carrying the baby to full term.
“I’ve cried and cried, I’ve compared and compared, blaming myself that I wasn’t able to give her all that she needed,” she continued. “But no matter what God always shows me that I’m His Child!”
She added alongside a prayer hand emoji, “Thank You God for getting me this far no matter the odds that are constantly thrown against me. #nicubaby #25weeker”
In a sign of support, Cori’s mom Shante Broadus—who also shares sons Cordé, 30, and Cordell, 28, with the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper—shared the announcement to her own Instagram Story.
Ahead of the early arrival of Snoop’s eighth grandchild, Cori—who has battled lupus since she was a child and had been recovering from a stroke in January 2024—had explained that doctors were keeping an eye on her.
"I'm high risk pregnancy and doctors were very concerned for me and the baby," she exclusively told E! News in December, "but God has his hands on me, and me and the baby are doing perfectly fine.”
Despite the doctors’ concerns, Cori shared the excitement she had about becoming a mom.
"I'm just excited to love on my baby girl and make her feel like she's the prettiest in the world," she continued. "Growing up, I wasn't the most confident and never felt like I fit in, so just to instill all the beautiful things in her head at a young age. And I’m having a mini me.”
But the CHOCC Factory founder wasn’t the only one eagerly anticipating their little one’s arrival.
“Wayne said he's excited to have someone that looks like me,” Cori continued. “He knows she is going to be so beautiful and he just can't wait to build things for her and give her all the love in the world."
