Snoop Dogg’s daughter mourns infant’s death in memorial

Snoop Dogg’s family is mourning the loss of one of their own.

The rapper’s daughter, Cori Broadus, buried her daughter in a memorial over the weekend, she shared on social media Monday, Feb. 9. Broadus’ infant daughter, Codi, died earlier this month, after suffering several health complications following a premature birth.

Codi’s death comes less than a year after Broadus welcomed the child with fiancĂ© Wayne “Duece” Polk.

Broadus, 26, took to Instagram to share photos of the memorial, posting photos of friends and family at the gravesite dressed in various hues of pink and white. “Part of me went with you, my girl for life,” she captioned the Instagram carousel.

Broadus, a makeup company founder, announced in December 2024 that she was pregnant with a baby girl, but revealed in February 2025 that she was in the neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, after being born prematurely at 25 weeks.

Codi spent 10 months in the NICU before coming home with Broadus in early January. “Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all,” she captioned a photo posted to Instagram of herself and Codi snuggling in bed at the time.

In a video posted to the Instagram carousel Feb. 9, Broadus mourned her daughter’s death and the life that they did not get to live together.

“I wanted to show you how to be kind in a hard world, how to be brave when life feels unfair, how to love yourself fiercely,” she said. “I wanted to watch you take your first steps, celebrate your first birthday, walk you to your first day of school.”

Through tears, she continued: “I wanted to be there for your wins, your heartbreaks, your questions and everything in between.

James Van Der Beek, the actor known best for embodying those formative, angsty teenage years in “Dawson’s Creek” and “Varsity Blues,” died on Feb. 11 at age 48 following a battle with colorectal cancer.

“He met his final days with courage, faith and grace,” read a post on the actor’s official Instagram page. “There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come.”

“I don’t understand why this happened,” the rapper’s youngest child said. “I’m trusting God, but that doesn’t mean it makes sense to me. Some days I wonder if this world was just too cruel for someone as pure as you. Other days, I wonder how I’m supposed to live in a world without you in my arms, Codi.”

Sharing the news of Codi’s death on social media in February, Polk expressed grief and love.

“I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you,” he wrote on his Instagram stories, alongside a photo of him holding his daughter.
